Designed based on customer feedback and using the same proprietary Hi-X Drivers that power all Austrian Audio professional headphones, the Hi-X20 offers a high-precision sound perfectly balanced in middle and high frequencies with a powerful but not overdrawn bass response. The result is a fresh take on the Austrian Audio sonic signature – pristine sound, honest frequency response, fast transients, and minimal distortion in the bass range.

Beneath its sleek black and red aesthetic, the Hi-X20 is built to last, with metal hinges and a metal headband. Its foldable design allows easy storage and transport in a rucksack or bag—smooth, memory foam padding grants for years of reliable, comfortable listening. Featuring a long, detachable 3-metre cable, the Hi-X20 is perfect for professionals who need flexibility in their workspace.

“The development of Hi-X20 was very much a collaborative effort with our customers who offered us thoughtful feedback,” said Austrian Audio CEO Martin Seidl. “The result is a different tuning and a fresh look that will appeal perfectly to audio professionals and musicians.”
