Headphones made in Austria

The Austrian Audio company was founded in 2017 and introduced its high-quality Hi-X50 on-ear headphones in 2020. With their newly developed 44mm drivers, these headphones are designed to provide a wide frequency response and minimise resonance thanks to their high rigidity. In addition, the headphones feature a ring magnet system, which is designed to deliver a more accurate impulse response. Incidentally, Austrian Audio's headphones are not only developed in Austria but also manufactured there from start to finish.

Plenty of power

Both the headband padding and the earpads of the Hi-X50 are made from soft, slow-retention memory foam, which guarantees a good fit despite the compact size of the ear cups, as well as a high level of wearing comfort even during long sessions. According to the manufacturer, the headphones' insulation remains unaffected, which makes them suitable for mixing, mastering, and recording, especially since they are one of the louder models with a resistance of just 25 ohms and a sensitivity of 118dB SPL/V. This 25-ohm model is also suitable for use with laptops and smartphones.

Austrian Audio Hi-X50, Studio Headphones

Full Metal Jacket

The Austrian Audio Hi-X50 headphones are ideal both for studio use and for modern laptop producers thanks to their sturdy, foldable, and compact design that also includes a metal headband bow and hinges. Anyone keen on simply listening to music in high quality is sure to enjoy this model as well, especially while travelling on public transport, where the high level of insulation provided by the interchangeable memory foam ear cushions will prove very beneficial. A particularly useful feature is the detachable three-metre cable, which locks to prevent accidental unplugging.

About Austrian Audio

The Viennese manufacturer Austrian Audio was founded in 2017 by 22 former senior AKG employees, including engineers and managers - as the traditional Austrian manufacturer was closing its offices and factories in Vienna. The first product releases from Austrian Audio immediately put them on the map, confirming their pedigree. The company's product range, which so far consists of headphones and microphones, is characterised by elegant design and smart concepts with a modern twist. In addition, all products are manufactured in Austria, as during the golden age of AKG. It will be interesting to see what Austrian Audio will come up with next.

Designed for professionals

The Hi-X50 excels both in mixing and mastering applications as well as in the tracking room and stands out thanks to its classic looks. Despite their closed-back, on-ear design, these headphones provide a high level of wearing comfort while remaining compact and portable at the same time, and their fair price/performance ratio, high manufacturing quality (made in Austria), technical specifications, and high-quality sound make them suitable even for professional audio engineers. An over-ear version - the Hi-X55 - is also available for users who prefer something different to the on-ear design, but it is a good idea to carry out a listening test before choosing.

Not made for heavy usage

Sound is great, they do clamp on the head a bit but the worst thing is that after 3 months of usage the earpads is detaching...

1st and last time buying Austrian Audio

Ich benutze diesen Kopfhörer zum Mix und Mastern, ich höre jeden schönheits fehler bei einem zweiten Review raus. Es verschönert aufjedenfall nichts automatisch, nur wenn man ihn 5Stunden trägt sollte man eine pause machen wegen den Tragekonform.

kvalitní

Rajce 24.03.2023

Byl jsem trochu skeptický, ale po nasazení a poslechu jsem příjemně překvapeni. Jiz dlouho jsem neměl možnost slyšet něco v této kvalitě. (to je jen osobní)
příjemně překvapili přesností a hlavně detajlem přehrávaného. najednou jsem vyloženě slyšel smyčec jak se dotýká struny a co na ní dělá. něco co jsem si do té doby ani nepředstavoval že v přenášeném signálu vůbec je.
Sluchatka i po dlouhém několikahodinovém nošení netlačí, stále stejný pocit, minimální pohon na hlavě i když s ní třesu do rytmu. podle mne mám větší hlavu a bez problémů.
V této době nepodporují čínu.
takže za ty peníze jsem nadměrně spokojen.
PS: kamarád co je se mnou testoval si je koupil hned tady a partnerka (hraje na gramofony) mi je odmítá vrátit.

Casque de bonne qualité

Dulcimer64 08.01.2024

Le casque est de bonne fabrication , solide , le son est tres bon , par contre il sert un peu au niveau des oreilles malgré ses réglages. Sinon rien a redire le reste semble tres bon . Le temps me dira la reste .
