Hi-X20 headphone presents a fresh take on Austrian Audio’s signature sound


The Austrian Audio Hi-X20 closed-back design offers a compact, affordable package with high-precision sound for professionals and music lovers.

Austrian Audio is proud to announce Hi-X20 – the latest entry in the brand’s family of closed-back headphones. Designed to offer detailed, high-precision sound in a compact, affordable package built for audio professionals, content creators, and discerning music lovers alike, Hi-X20 is the ultimate day-to-day workhorse for recording, mixing, and recreational listening. Hi-X20 is now available for £119.99 (RRP inc. VAT).

The Hi-X20 is more than just a pair of headphones; it’s a professional-grade tool designed to meet the rigorous demands of audio professionals and enthusiasts alike. Whether in the studio, in front of a mic, or simply enjoying your favourite tracks, the Hi-X20 delivers outstanding performance and comfort.

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.”
