{"product_id":"austrian-audio-hi-x65-350271","title":"Hi-X65","description":"\u003ch3\u003eHi-X65: The Open-Back Variant Within the Hi-X Range\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned and manufactured in Austria, the Austrian Audio \u003cstrong\u003eHi-X65\u003c\/strong\u003e belongs to the Hi-X family, known for its precise reproduction and studio-oriented approach. While a closed-back headphone prioritizes isolation, this \u003cstrong\u003eopen-back\u003c\/strong\u003e model focuses on a more airy listening experience and a more \"speaker-like\" perception of space, particularly useful for refining panning, reverb, and spectral balance decisions. It is a coherent choice for those seeking a neutral and breathable reference without sacrificing the robustness of a professional tool.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eA Reference Headphone for Mixing, Mastering, and Analytical Listening\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eHi-X65\u003c\/strong\u003e targets mixers, mastering engineers, producers, and demanding home studio users looking for a monitoring headphone capable of highlighting relevant details: attacks, sibilance, low-mid resonances, fine dynamics, and left\/right coherence. Its \u003cstrong\u003ecircumaural\u003c\/strong\u003e design promotes comfort over extended periods, while its \u003cstrong\u003efoldable\u003c\/strong\u003e construction and \u003cstrong\u003edetachable cables\u003c\/strong\u003e facilitate transitions from studio to home or from one control room to another without hassle.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat Sets It Apart: Neutrality, Clarity, and Professional Build\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003ch4\u003eAn Open-Back Design Serving Accuracy\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eThanks to its open architecture, the \u003cstrong\u003eHi-X65\u003c\/strong\u003e limits internal resonances and offers a sense of space particularly useful for evaluating stereo image and mix depth. This airy presentation helps detect frequency conflicts, excessive effects, and panning imbalances more quickly while maintaining a smooth listening experience. Its stated frequency response of \u003cstrong\u003e5 to 28,000 Hz\u003c\/strong\u003e supports reliable spectrum playback, with bass that remains informative and articulated rather than flattering.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eLow Distortion and Clean Transients\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor critical work, transient clarity is essential: compression, saturation, clipping, or simple harshness in the upper mids become quickly audible when the headphone follows without smearing. With a total harmonic distortion (THD) of \u003cstrong\u003eless than 0.1% at 1 kHz\u003c\/strong\u003e, the \u003cstrong\u003eHi-X65\u003c\/strong\u003e aims for a clear reproduction, useful for making decisions on equalization, de-essing, limiting, and micro-dynamic variations.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eLong-Lasting Comfort and Daily Reliability\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eA studio headphone must withstand handling, transport, and long days. Austrian Audio relies here on a solid construction with \u003cstrong\u003emetal hinges and headband\u003c\/strong\u003e for an immediate feeling of durability. The circumaural fit, stable hold, and a lightweight design of \u003cstrong\u003e310 g\u003c\/strong\u003e allow for longer focus without excessive pressure or rapid discomfort.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003ePractical Connectivity and Versatile Use\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eWith an \u003cstrong\u003eimpedance of 25 ohms\u003c\/strong\u003e and a \u003cstrong\u003esensitivity of 110 dB SPL\/V\u003c\/strong\u003e, the \u003cstrong\u003eHi-X65\u003c\/strong\u003e is easily driven by most audio interfaces and headphone amplifiers, while remaining suitable for listening on more compact devices. The \u003cstrong\u003eremovable cables\u003c\/strong\u003e simplify maintenance and adaptation to different contexts: a long cable for the control room, a shorter one for close listening. The \u003cstrong\u003e3.5 mm stereo mini-jack output\u003c\/strong\u003e integrates naturally into modern studio setups.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eTechnical specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"display:flex;flex-wrap:wrap;gap:2rem\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"flex:1 1 300px\"\u003e\n\u003ctable style=\"width:100%\"\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eType\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003eopen-back\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003ecircumaural\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFrequency response\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e5 - 28,000 Hz\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTotal harmonic distortion (THD)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003eless than 0.1% at 1 kHz\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ctable style=\"width:100%\"\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSensitivity\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e110 dB SPL\/V\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eImpedance\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e25 ohms\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"flex:1 1 300px\"\u003e\n\u003ctable style=\"width:100%\"\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIncluded\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e2 detachable cables of 3 m and 1.2 m\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ctable style=\"width:100%\"\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e200 x 170 x 85 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e310 g\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Austrian Audio","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54360856854803,"sku":"350271","price":279.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0984\/0872\/6803\/files\/d171cc217f86a9e89a21d9befb15497da11230c2_AUSTRIAN_AUDIO_HIX65_819f2547-3ad9-42da-84cc-793139d7ed0e.jpg?v=1787399188","url":"https:\/\/woodbrass.shop\/products\/austrian-audio-hi-x65-350271","provider":"Woodbrass.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
