Key Features
The Austrian Audio Hi-X65 Professional headphones are open-back studio headphones designed for mixing and mastering. Mixing and mastering engineers can expect a great bass response with near-zero THD at low frequencies together with a linear frequency response that produces an open, precise and high-resolution sound. These qualities make the Hi-X65 the perfect headphones for audiophiles looking to hear every shade of nuance in the music they love.
Featuring a 44mm driver and ring magnetic system, the Hi-X65 allows for improved airflow and a stronger magnetic field. The ring magnet, combined with the copper-clad aluminium voice coil reduces the weight of the membrane allowing it to move more freely, creating a more responsive impulse reaction and removing any frequency build-up.
Hi excursion (Hi-X) technology has been designed specifically to create the astonishing sound of the Hi-X65 headphones. Fine-tuning all parts of the design and build generates a precise, high-resolution and spacious sound that is essential in all stages of audio production.

Hi-Xcursion technology holds the key to the immaculate sound quality of the Hi-X65 headphones. A lightweight membrane consisting of a copper-clad aluminium voice coil and ring magnet allows for more airflow through the headphones open-back design. This allows the membrane to move back and forward quicker with less stress and strain, providing a more responsive impulse reaction. Allowing the membrane to move quicker and more freely means that the Hi-X65 gives you a much more accurate and linear frequency response down to 5Hz, with more precise bass imaging and almost zero THD.
