The Austrian Audio Hi-X50 is a professional, closed-back over-ear headphone that delivers the sound quality, durability, and features you've come to expect from a company whose engineers are responsible for some of the most acclaimed transducer and headphone designs ever produced. Austrian Audio made its mark on the global pro audio community with its excellent "new Vienna classic" microphones, so when they turned their attention to headphone monitoring, you knew it had to be good. The Austrian Audio Hi-X50 encapsulates over 300 years of combined engineering expertise into an affordable, easy-to-use design that delivers unerring accuracy with exceptional comfort and ultra-low listening fatigue over extended sessions.

Proprietary high excursion drivers for mixes that translate

Designed for modern music production, Austrian Audio's line of Hi-X (High Excursion) professional headphones don't use OEM drivers like many headphones on the market. The proprietary high excursion drivers in the Hi-X50 are customized and created especially for the Hi-X series to provide 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.

Exceptional comfort during long sessions

The Hi-X50 is notable for what you don't feel: discomfort. Austrian Audio used soft, slow retention memory foam for the ear cushions to provide cozy comfort even during long listening sessions. And because they've effectively banished distortion from the design, you can monitor through the night without a hint of listening fatigue. Important warning: 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 don't forget to take breaks - and pay attention to your hearing levels!
