Austrian Audio Hi-X65 Pro DJ Studio Monitoring Headphones By Austrian Audio










Developed with mixing and mastering in mind, this open-backed design from Austrian Audio is ideal for all kinds of studio use, including production and sound design. Ultra-precise, accurate sound.

Supplier's Notes:
Delightfully Revealing

These new Hi-X65 open-back headphones were created with mixing and mastering in mind. They're built to satisfy the need for close, precise listening at these critical stages of the audio production process. 

The same qualities that make them great for professional audio production also make them perfect for audiophiles who appreciate hearing every shade of nuance in the music they love.

High Precision Meets Pure Enjoyment

Hi-X65 headphones are built around a driver that was first designed with open headphones in mind, and listening to them is like opening a new window on your music. The open-back design brings a natural and spacious sound, giving new clarity to the placement and character of its individual elements. Hi-X65 headphones provide a high-resolution, precise aural perspective and a critical new tool for professional mixing and mastering. 

Hi-Xcursion 

Hi-Xcursion (High Excursion) technology is the key to the astonishing sound of these Hi-X65 headphones. All Austrian Audio Hi-X headphones feature a 44 mm driver and a ring magnet system. This design allows for improved airflow and includes the strongest magnetic field in its class. The ring magnet, combined with a copper-clad aluminium voice coil, reduces the weight of the membrane and the voice coil connected to it, allowing the membrane to move or change direction faster, providing a more responsive impulse reaction. The result is superior bass imaging and low THD at low frequencies, a linear frequency response, and open, precise, high-resolution sound that simplifies error detection and makes mixing and mastering a pleasure.

Made in Austria Quality

You'll understand the quality of your new Hi-X65 headphones the moment you take them out of the box, before you've even listened to the first note. They feel great in the hand and great on your ears, and the build quality is exceptional, as you would expect. The Hi-X65 headphones are designed, engineered, and manufactured in Austria by a team of passionate experts with long experience in crafting high-quality microphones and headphones for demanding audio professionals. Of course, the final test of quality is in the listening. Put the headphones on, turn on your music, and experience for yourself the clarity and precision of Hi-X technology in an open-back design. 

Long-lasting Comfort

The Hi-X65 headphones are made to be used. They're supremely comfortable and they're built to last. The hinge and bow are of all-metal construction for ruggedness and durability. The bow's pad is replaceable. Thanks to good ventilation and earpads made of slow-retention memory foam, you'll stay comfortable through even the longest mixing or mastering session. For long life and hygienic purposes, the earpads are replaceable. Two cables (3m and 1.2m) are detachable and replaceable. They're foldable, for easy storage between sessions.

Sound

The Bio-cellulose diaphragm

The bio-cellulose speaker diaphragm in S05 is made of a bacterial cellulose which is an organic compound that is grown using certain types of bacteria. Bio-cellulose is a really interesting material for many reasons it's renewable biodegradable and it has great acoustic properties.

The role it plays when listening to music

If music is played through a poorly designed headphones that produce a high amount of harmonic distortion it will simply sound wrong and unnatural. This is because the harmonic distortion changes how we perceive the timbre and tonality of the sound which is obviously really problematic when producing music or mixing a track. The biocellulose diaphragm on the other hand is able to reproduce the music faithfully with great clarity even at high volume levels.

S05 - Speaker units

For the S05, the biocellulose diaphragm was paired with a high grade neodymium magnet which resulted in a speaker unit that offers a clear mid-range better dynamics and a more natural overall tonality. When tuning the speaker unit, special attention was paid to the clarity in the mid-range without compromising the extension in the bass range. This results in a very wide sound stage with great instrumental separation.

The music maker is able to extract and enjoy every little detail in the music.
