Product Description

Hi-X15 Professional Over-Ear Headphones
The Hi-X15 closed-back headphones are the workhorse of the award-winning Austrian Audio Hi-X series, bringing the crystal-clear and precise listening experience of High Excursion technology to everyday use.
Hi-X15 High Excursion Technology
Hi-Xcursion (High Excursion) technology is the key to the astonishing sound of our Hi-X15 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.
Reliable Sound & Sophisticated Design
Reach for Hi-X15 headphones when you need reliable sound and know things might get a little rough. Their sophisticated folding design means they’re easy to store and carry, and their durable all-metal hinge and bow mean they’re extremely robust.

There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
In retrospect, I probably should have stepped up a notch and purchased the Bluetooth version. The USB connector on my phone went bad which rendered these useless until the phone was replaced.
All plastic construction. Not easily-replaceable earpads. The lip for the earpads to bite is *under* the earcup requiring mild disassembly to replace, and there are no instructions for this. The adjustment on the headband feels awful, and I'm almost certain the hinges will snap after a few uses. They're really small in general and not comfortable at all.
Packaging includes a mediocre cable tie. Clever that it works to tie the box together I guess.
The cable is this fancy-ish locking mechanism. I'm not sure why this would be desired. If the cable gets caught I would prefer it pop out and let loose, not break the headphones because it's locked in. Not to mention the cable then is directional. I'm not even sure if any random cable will work even, or if they've effectively made a proprietary cable in 202X.
Now for the sound.... I returned these in 3 hours counting dropping them off... I'm not exaggerating... The highs were so fatiguing it was almost painful. I watched two YouTube videos that I'm very familiar with and I couldn't stand listening to speech. The bass was fine but I couldn't get over the highs enough to really listen to it.
I'm looking at the top-end open-backs next, but if I don't like those either I'll be sending them back as well. I'm really disappointed...
