help Austrian Audio Hi-X65 FAQ
Are the Austrian Audio Hi-X65 open-back or closed-back headphones?
The Hi-X65 is an open-back, over-ear headphone designed primarily for mixing and mastering. Its open construction produces a spacious presentation but allows sound to leak in both directions, making it unsuitable for quiet shared rooms or microphone tracking.
Can a phone or laptop drive the Austrian Audio Hi-X65?
Its 25-ohm impedance and rated sensitivity of 110 dB SPL/V make it relatively undemanding compared with many studio headphones. A competent laptop or interface can usually provide useful volume, although a dedicated interface may offer better control and headroom.
What cables come with the Austrian Audio Hi-X65?
Austrian Audio supplies detachable 1.2-meter and 3-meter cables. The headphones use a 3.5 mm connection and include a 6.3 mm adapter for studio equipment.
How does the Hi-X65 differ from the Hi-X60?
The Hi-X65 is open-back and emphasizes spacious reference monitoring, while the Hi-X60 is closed-back and provides isolation. The Hi-X60 is therefore more practical for recording and noisy environments, whereas the Hi-X65 is aimed more directly at critical mixing.
