Austrian Audio HiX55 Professional Over-Ear Headphones

Austrian Audio's engineering team has crafted what many consider to be amongst the world's finest headphones and drivers, bringing their expertise to bear on an entirely new professional headphone range. The Hi-X (High Excursion) series represents years of dedicated development, with the Hi-X50 and Hi-X55 models showcasing genuine "Made in Austria" quality that reflects the team's commitment to excellence.

These professional headphones feature no off-the-shelf components whatsoever - every element is designed and manufactured by Austrian Audio in Austria. The company's rigorous approach to development means that each driver and key component has been specifically created for this all-new design, ensuring the highest standards of professional performance.

Through extensive scientific research, precise measurements, and comprehensive listening tests, Austrian Audio determined that 44mm represents the optimal driver size for the Hi-X design. This specific dimension allows the headphones to move substantial amounts of air whilst eliminating diaphragm 'wobbling' - a form of driver mass damping that significantly improves performance. The ultra-stiff membrane construction effectively reduces unwanted resonance, demonstrating the superior results of Austrian Audio's innovative engineering approach.
