In the Lineage of the Hi-X Series, Designed for Precision
The Hi-X20 embodies the DNA of Austrian Audio headphones: a neutral and clear signature, inherited from the "Hi-X" transducers. It adopts the brand's studio approach in a more compact and accessible format, without compromising on fidelity or durability.
Who Is It For? From Studios to Content Creators
Designed for sound engineers, musicians, content creators, and discerning audiophiles, the Hi-X20 offers reliable monitoring for recording, editing, mixing, or light mastering. Its closed design limits leakage and improves isolation, while its detachable 3 m cable adapts well to both studio and home listening.
Key Features and Innovations
Reference Hi-X Transducers
The Hi-X drivers deliver fast transients and a faithful frequency response. The mids and highs remain balanced, with tight bass that does not mask details, ideal for assessing tonal balance and stereo imaging.
Closed-Back, Circumaural Design
The closed-back circumaural architecture promotes passive isolation and focus in noisy environments. You benefit from a consistent reference, useful for checking phase, dynamics, and micro-details without excessive coloration.
Comfort and Durability
Metal hinges and headband ensure exemplary longevity, while the memory foam ear pads conform to the face to reduce fatigue. The 255 g weight and low lateral pressure provide comfortable extended listening.
Ready for Mobility
The Hi-X20 folds easily to transition from studio to backpack. Its wired format guarantees latency-free listening and immediate compatibility with audio interfaces, consoles, and players thanks to the included 6.3 mm Jack adapter.
