Austrian Audio Hi-X50

Designed as a mobile counterpart to the Hi-X55, the on-ear Hi-X50 headphones offer not only the highest level of comfort but also maximum flexibility and stability thanks to their sophisticated folding construction. All mechanically stressed components such as hinges or the headband are made of metal and guarantee long durability even under the toughest conditions, whether live or studio use. The brand new 44 mm Hi-X driver was developed from scratch by Austrian Audio's acousticians. This newly developed “High Excursion” technology enables improved airflow and the strongest magnetic field in its class. The ring magnet system in conjunction with a copper-coated aluminum voice coil reduces the weight of the moving masses. This design enables significantly faster movements and changes of direction. The result is a greatly improved reproduction of transients and peaks, which is of central importance when working on today's digital recording and mixing systems and also guarantees precise reproduction of the low bass range. A double-walled ear cup was developed and installed to ensure the best possible attenuation of ambient noise, such as preventing the headphone signal from being transmitted to the recording. Another key criterion for headphones is comfort. Particular care was taken in the construction and materials of the ear cushions, which combine a secure fit with a high level of comfort. Developed and produced in Austria by an experienced team, the Hi-X headphones are perfectly tailored to today's demanding production conditions.
