Austrian Audio HiX50 Professional On-Ear Headphones

The engineers at Austrian Audio have designed and produced some of the world’s most acclaimed headphones and drivers. When it came time to create their first family of professional headphones, they took all the time needed to create them and to exceed many of the goals and challenges that came before.

Introducing the new professional Hi-X (High Excursion) headphones from Austrian Audio. Whether you choose the Hi-X50 or Hi-X55, know that you are getting “Made in Austria” quality from a team that stands behind this all-new design. You won’t find off-the-shelf drivers and key components here – everything is crafted by Austrian Audio right there in Austria.

Austrian Audio's science, measurements, and listening tests have shown that 44mm is the optimum size for this design. It ensures professional performance in the Hi-X, moves a lot of air, and eliminates ‘wobbling’ of the diaphragm. This is akin to damping of the driver mass, which is where their membrane really shows results: it is ultra-stiff while still reducing unwanted resonance.
