Austrian Audio Hi-X60 Professional Closed-back Over-ear Headphones

The Austrian Audio Hi-X60 Professional Closed-Back Over-Ear Headphones are engineered in Vienna by a team of former AKG veterans, bringing genuine reference-grade monitoring to recording, mixing, mastering, and FOH applications. At the heart of the Hi-X60 is Austrian Audio's proprietary High Excursion (Hi-X) driver technology — a custom 44mm transducer paired with an advanced ring magnet system that generates one of the strongest magnetic fields in its class. The copper-clad aluminium voice coil reduces membrane weight dramatically, delivering a faster impulse response, lower harmonic distortion, and a THD rating of under 0.1% — even at low frequencies where conventional headphones typically struggle.

The frequency response extends from 5Hz to 28kHz, well beyond standard monitoring headphones, with a sensitivity of 110dB SPL and a low impedance of 25 ohms that makes the Hi-X60 compatible with a wide range of interfaces, mixers, and mobile devices. The closed-back design provides effective passive isolation, making these equally suited to loud live environments and quiet studio control rooms. Memory foam earpads offer fatigue-free comfort during extended sessions, while the foldable headband design keeps them compact for travel.

Two detachable HXC cables are included — a straight and a coiled variant — along with a 1/4" adapter and a carry pouch, giving engineers everything they need for both studio and location work. The Hi-X60 delivers the kind of neutral, analytical sound signature that Austrian Audio's design team built their reputation on, making them a compelling choice for professionals who require true accuracy without the premium price of flagship reference cans.
