The Hi-X20 is not just a pair of headphones; it’s a professional tool designed to meet the demanding needs of audio professionals and enthusiasts alike. Whether you’re in the studio, in front of a mic, or simply enjoying your favorite tracks, the Hi-X20 delivers unparalleled performance and comfort. Elevate your audio experience with the Hi-X20 from Austrian Audio –where precision meets comfort in a robust, comfortable, professional design.
Outstanding High-Precision Sound
Austrian Audio Hi-X20 headphones are characterized by their crystal clear, detailed, and natural sound. One important measure of audio clarity and precision is Total Harmonic Distortion (THD), which assesses the amount of unwanted harmonic distortion that a sound-reproduction system creates in an audio signal passing through it. THD is typically measured at 1 kHz, where the Hi-X20 scores a sensational value of <0.1%. But when measured at lower frequencies —for example, around the 60 Hz thrust of the bass drum —the Hi-X20 headphones are even more impressive, scoring THD values up to 3 times better than several competing products from similar or even considerably more expensive price ranges. This results in an unrivalled clean and detailed bass reproduction.
Hi-X Driver Technology
Hi-X (high excursion) technology is the key to the astonishing sound of our Hi-X20 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, and providing a more responsive impulse reaction. Recording, Mixing and mastering with the Hi-X20 headphones is an absolute pleasure. Expect great bass imaging and low THD (total harmonic distortion) at low frequencies, together with a linear frequency response and open, precise high-resolution sound that is very revealing and makes error detection easy.
Longevity
Audio work requires commitment and passion. Countless decisions and emotional intelligence lead to success. The confidence gained using the Hi-X20 leads to consistency over time. The ear pads can be replaced and renewed with ease, just like the pluggable cable. This means that precision, listening pleasure, and comfort are maintained for a long time. Nowadays studio work is often done across different venues and not tied to one location or single equipment. Austrian Audio has incorporated this realization into the core design of the Hi-X20 ensuring flexibility for consistent performance across work or leisure environments. The folding design and load-bearing components are all metal for robustness and stability. A light, high-quality carry bag protects and assists portability.
