AUSTRIAN AUDIO HiX55
Professional Over-Ear Headphones
- Austrian Audio HiX55 – Professional Over-Ear Headphones
The Hi-X55 headphones from Austrian Audio offer precision, comfort and durability.
The closed-back, over-ear design offers high-resolution insight for critical audio work; for error detection; also, due to tuning and detail, ideal for voice-over recordings. The Hi-X (High Excursion) technology is perfectly suited for contemporary music production: the optimally-sized 44mm driver, unique ring magnet system and copper-clad aluminium voice coil are custom-designed and work together to reduce membrane weight and increase stiffness, improving response, taming unwanted resonance and minimising distortion. ‘Made in Austria’ with no off-the-shelf components. The hardware design and engineering are exceptional with all-metal hinges and headband bow for long-lasting stability and comfort without distraction. The luxury feel is assisted by the soft, memory-foam ear cushions. A fatigue-free experience even for long sessions. Workflow is assisted by additional features such as foldable design (for portability and storage) and cable adapters to connect to professional or consumer equipment.

High Excursion Technology Hi-X
Professional Headphones
Hi-Xcursion (High Excursion) technology is the key to the astonishing sound of our Hi-X55 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 aluminum 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.
Our science, measurements, and listening tests have shown that 44mm is the optimum size for this design. It ensures professional performance in the Hi-X, moves a lot of air, and eliminates ‘wobbling’ of the diaphragm. This is akin to damping of the driver mass, which is where our membrane really shows results: it is ultra-stiff while still reducing unwanted resonance.
