Verdict

The Austrian Audio Hi-X60 is a professional closed-back headphone featuring 44mm high-excursion dynamic drivers, an impedance of 25 ohms, and a wide frequency range of 5 Hz to 28 kHz. Main characteristics include a rugged all-metal construction with slow-retention memory foam ear pads, high sensitivity of 110 dBspl/V, and ultra-low distortion (THD <0.1% at 1kHz). Key pros include its exceptional detail retrieval and unusually expansive soundstage for a closed-back design, along with a foldable, highly durable build suitable for studio monitoring and front-of-house mixing. However, potential cons include a bright treble response that may feel fatiguing to some users, a high clamping force, and a recessed midrange that can lack 'weight' for certain vocal styles.

What customers like about Austrian Audio Hi X60?

  • Exceptional build quality with robust metal hinges and structural components
  • Outstanding comfort for long sessions due to deep memory foam ear pads and a pressure-relieving headband design
  • High passive noise isolation (approx. 20-25 dB), making them effective for studio tracking and loud environments
  • Excellent detail retrieval and transient response, often described as 'laser-like' for error detection
  • Very easy to drive even from mobile devices or low-powered audio interfaces due to 25-ohm low impedance
  • Deep and well-controlled sub-bass extension that takes EQ adjustments very well
  • Highly portable foldable design with a unique flat-folding mechanism

What customers dislike about Austrian Audio Hi X60?

  • Treble can be harsh or fatiguing due to significant peaks between 4kHz and 10kHz, which may require EQ for enjoyable music listening
  • Highly dependent on a perfect seal; wearing glasses or having a poor fit can significantly roll off the bass response
  • Recessed midrange or specific dips (e.g., around 2kHz) can make certain vocals and instruments sound thin or hollow
  • Soundstage and imaging are often described as intimate or 'nothing special' for the price point
  • High clamping force initially can cause discomfort or headaches for users with larger heads
  • Some users reported durability concerns specifically regarding plastic housing pieces near the hinges cracking over time
  • Uses a proprietary 2.5mm locking cable connector, making third-party cable replacements difficult to find
