Reference That Hits Back.

The Hi-X65 doesn’t flatter your sound – it reveals it. Open, wide, and uncompromisingly precise, it brings every detail forward without exaggeration. Transients are fast and controlled, spaces are clearly defined, and dynamics are immediate and tangible.

This is reference sound without filters: direct, controlled, and brutally honest. No hype, no coloration, no masking of flaws. Instead, you get a presentation that shows exactly what works – and what doesn’t.

Built for those who don’t interpret, but hear, understand, and decide. 

Built for Decisions.

Mixing, mastering, critical listening – this is where the Hi-X65 excels. Its open-back design creates a wide, natural soundstage with precise depth and accurate imaging, allowing you to position every element exactly within the mix.

The neutral tuning gives you full control over balance, dynamics, and frequency distribution, without artificial emphasis or misleading coloration. Weaknesses become audible, strengths just as clear. This enables faster, more confident, and repeatable decisions – in the studio, at home, or on the move.

Built for Real Sessions.

Lightweight, durable, and built for real-world use: the Hi-X65 is made for long sessions. Its ergonomic design ensures a secure fit, while premium memory foam ear pads provide consistent comfort over extended periods.

All key components are replaceable – from ear pads to cables – extending product life and supporting daily professional use.

With its low impedance, the Hi-X65 delivers sufficient headroom even without complex gear, making it a flexible tool for studio work, home setups, and mobile production environments.

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.

What Friends Are Saying

I love the design of Hi-X65, their construction is quite good as they are strong but at the same time comfortable and also very handy.

The Hajj

From day one of hearing these mics at the NAMM convention we fell in love with these microphones and headphones! We love our paid or CC8 mics for our drum overheads and our HiX65 headphones in the mixing room! The gear is so solid and well-made!.

Hi-X65 has an excellent design, but its standout feature is the exceptional fit! I'm also pleased to see the large 'L' and 'R' markings on the inside.

"I was impressed with the Hi-X65 because the sound separation was totally different from the headphones I had heard before.

The Hi-X60 allows you to monitor space as you imagine it in an immersive mix.

Klanglich versorgt Austrian Audio mit dem Hi-X65 all diejenigen, die auf der Suche nach einem offenen Kopfhörer für die Bereiche Mix und Mastering sind. Der Klang ist äußerst neutral, so dass man mit diesem Kopfhörer die richtigen und vor allem präzisen klanglichen Entscheidungen treffen kann. Glatte 3 von 3 Sternen!
Recording Magazine
To me, the Hi-X65 is a cut above its predecessors in terms of high-fidelity performance. The sound is very well balanced for mixing and mastering; my mixes translated as expected. An impressive addition from Austrian Audio!

Toller Einstieg! Der Austrian Audio Hi-X65 verbindet langjähriges Knowhow im Kopfhörerbau mit frischem Denken, liefert einen extrem sauberen Klang auf Referenz-Niveau und punktet mit gutem Design und hochwertiger Verarbeitung
SoundOnSound
They sound clean, they present the full frequency spectrum, they have a wide but not exaggerated soundstage
Headfonics
I understand that the Hi-X65 was designed to be used as a tool for mixing and mastering. However, I can confidently say that it can also create an enjoyable listening experience because of its slightly richer presentation while managing to remain reliably neutral and highly detailed.
Eurogamer
Mehr Präzision und Feingefühl als fast jeder Hi-Fi-Hörer, [den ich je hatte], einige doppelt so teuer wie der Hi-X65
MusicTech
With amazing transient response and an immersive stereo field, these open-back headphones are hard to beat for critical edits, checking mixes/masters and unbridled enjoyment of your favourite pre-recorded music.
Miniklangwunder
Der Austrian Audio Hi-X65 ist für den aufgerufenen Preis von 349,-€ nicht nur ein Klang-Profi für das Tonstudio. Der Hi-X65 gefällt mir aufgrund seiner Abstimmung und universelleren Nutzung über alle Genres hinweg bisher am besten und spielt zudem auch deutlich oberhalb seiner Preisklasse. Ein rundum toller Kopfhörer!

Es dürfte sehr schwer sein, zu diesem Preis einen besseren offenen Kopfhörer zu finden.
