Austrian Audio Hi-X15 closed-back headphones leverage over 300 years of combined engineering expertise to bring you a new level of sound quality and comfort at an affordable price. They're equipped with proprietary long-excursion drivers for a truly transparent representation of your music, even with bass-heavy modern mixes. Soft memory foam earpads keep you comfortable over long listening sessions, while durable metal components ensure a long lifespan. Whether you're mixing music, practicing your instrument, or listening casually, it's hard to beat the value you'll find in Austrian Audio Hi-X15 headphones.
Proprietary high-excursion drivers for mixes that translate
Designed for modern music production, Austrian Audio's line of professional Hi-X (High Excursion) headphones do not use OEM drivers, as many headphones on the market do. The proprietary high-excursion drivers in the Hi-X15 are custom designed and purpose built for the Hi-X range to yield superior performance in the context of a cohesive sound-delivery system. This meticulous engineering results in what-you-hear-is-what-you-get fidelity that you can trust to make critical decisions about your recordings.
Outstanding comfort over long sessions
The Hi-X15 is notable for what you don’t get: discomfort. Austrian Audio used soft, slow-retention memory foam for the earpads to give you cushy comfort, even during long listening sessions. And because they effectively banished distortion from the design, you can monitor through the night without a hint of listening fatigue. Music Experience PSA: of course, intensive concentration for hours on end is counterproductive in the long run. Just because you can work for 10 hours straight doesn’t mean you should, so by all means, take breaks — and do watch those listening levels!
