Enjoy a tool designed to meet the demands of studio engineers and music enthusiasts alike with the Hi-X20 from Austrian Audio. These over-ear, closed-back headphones feature proprietary 44mm high-excursion (Hi-X) drivers which reproduce accurate, balanced audio across the frequency spectrum with crystal-clear bass. The Hi-X20 offers exceptionally low noise and total harmonic distortion, especially at low frequencies. The headband and hinges are constructed from metal for stability and robustness, while the earcups are foldable, swiveling, and feature a mounting system to replace the comfortable memory foam earpads when they inevitably wear out. The 10' cable is detachable, further improving the longevity and resilience of these headphones. The Hi-X20 includes the detachable cable, a 1/4" TRS plug adapter, and a carrying bag.

High-Precision Sound

One important measure of audio clarity and precision is Total Harmonic Distortion (THD), which assesses the amount of unwanted harmonic distortion that a sound-reproduction system creates in an audio signal passing through it. THD is typically measured at 1 kHz, where the Hi-X20 scores an impressive value of But when measured at lower frequencies—for example, around the 60 Hz thrust of the bass drum—the Hi-X20 headphones are even more impressive, scoring THD values up to 3 times better than several competing products from similar or even considerably more expensive price ranges. This results in clean and detailed bass reproduction.

Hi-X Driver Technology

Hi-X (high excursion) technology is the key to the high-precision sound of the Hi-X20 headphones. The Hi-X20 feature 44mm drivers and a ring magnet system, which allows for improved airflow and includes the strongest magnetic field in its class. The ring magnet, combined with a copper-clad aluminum voice coil, reduces the weight of the membrane and the voice coil connected to it, allowing the membrane to move or change direction faster, and providing a more responsive impulse reaction. Expect great bass imaging and low THD (total harmonic distortion) at low frequencies, together with a linear frequency response and open, precise, high-resolution sound that is very revealing and makes error detection easy.
