An Anniversary that Resonates
For five years, Austrian Audio has stood for passion, precision, and the art of redefining sound. To celebrate the anniversary of our headphone line, we’re introducing something truly special: the limited-edition Hi-X18. A touch of gold, a refined design – and a sound that brings every nuance to life. This anniversary model is more than a pair of headphones. It’s a statement of five years of innovation, craftsmanship, and uncompromising attention to detail.
The Hi-X18 blends exceptional audio fidelity with outstanding comfort – made for those who live music: artists, producers, creators, and sound lovers alike. Whether you’re crafting in the studio, capturing your next idea, or diving deep into your favorite tracks, the Hi-X18 delivers clarity, precision, and character every step of the way.
Austrian Audio – five years of passion, perfectly tuned.
Performance You Can Hear. Quality You Can Feel.
Sound in Its Purest Form. Powered by our exclusive Hi-X driver technology, the Hi-X18 delivers the same uncompromising sonic standard as our flagship models – crystal clear, richly detailed, and true to the source. Sound that moves you.
Precise. Balanced. Real. Experience perfect balance and stunning detail. The Hi-X18 renders mids and highs with clarity and precision, while its low end stays powerful yet controlled – music exactly as artists and producers intended.
Built to last. With durable metal hinges and a reinforced metal headband, the Hi-X18 is engineered for years of intense use. Its foldable design makes it the perfect companion – in the studio, on the road, or wherever your next session takes you.
Built for Long Sessions. Made for True Focus.
Comfort That Lasts. With memory-foam cushions on both the ear pads and headband, the Hi-X18 adapts perfectly to your head shape. The result: a secure fit, exceptional comfort, and consistent sound – even through long listening sessions.
Replaceable Ear Pads – Smart and Precise. Our patented system ensures consistent acoustic accuracy and effortless pad replacement. A few simple steps are all it takes – and your Hi-X18 sounds as fresh as day one.
Freedom for Every Performance. The detachable 3-meter cable gives you the space you need – whether you’re recording, playing, or simply losing yourself in your favorite tracks. Designed for professionals and creators who never compromise.
Hi-Xcursion – Sound at Its Finest.
The Hi-Xcursion (High Excursion) technology drives the remarkable sound of our Hi-X headphones. Every Austrian Audio Hi-X model features a 44 mm driver and an advanced ring magnet system, delivering superior airflow and the strongest magnetic field in its class.
Paired with a copper-clad aluminum voice coil, the ring magnet reduces membrane weight for faster, more precise impulse response – producing a sound that’s immediate, detailed, and true to the source. The 44 mm design ensures professional performance, enhanced air movement, and eliminates diaphragm wobble. The ultra-stiff membrane effectively dampens resonance, resulting in an ultra-clear, dynamic, and expressive sound that brings every nuance to life.
