These over-ears head towards the top of the class

We’re impressed with the Austrian Audio Hi-X55. They are nicely built, and relay a track faithfully. They won’t be for everyone – they aren’t as easy a listen as some rivals, and will certainly be unforgiving with some recordings. But if you want to hear what is truly in a track or recording, you won’t find better analysts at this price. Definitely worth an audition.

About the brand

Following the closure of the AKG offices in Vienna, Austrian Audio set out to create something new, challenging, and respectful to their heritage. Opening their doors in July 2017, Austrian Audio was born.

Armed with a wealth of experience and a mission to make passion heard, their team of experts were ready to take on the industry giants by striving to produce products that embody the sound and engineering excellence one would expect from a company with their history.

They started with a core team of 22 former AKG personnel from management, acoustics, electronics, test and measurement, mechanical design, RF/wireless, and software and firmware - and are continuing to grow.

They may be relatively new, but the skill, knowledge, and tradition lives on at Austrian Audio, backed by over 350 years of cumulative engineering experience.
