A 5 Hz–28 kHz frequency response, 110 dB SPL\/V sensitivity, and low 25 Ω impedance give a detailed, low-distortion signal that drives without a dedicated headphone amp, though professional work benefits from one. The all-metal hinge and headband construction has been tested through 30,000 bend cycles on both the headband and cable, plus a roughly 2-meter drop test onto concrete.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eAn open design as a tool for judging space in a mix\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA common problem when working with delays and reverbs: closed-back headphones make it hard to judge how subtle reflections and reverb tails sit in the mix, since a sealed earcup artificially narrows the soundstage. The Hi-X65's open backplate lets sound disperse freely, giving an airy, spacious stereo image where depth and width nuances become audible — which is why engineers working with layered spatial effects reach for it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eNeutrality instead of flattering EQ\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMany consumer headphones boost bass or treble, making a mix sound appealing but hiding real problems before release. The Hi-X65 deliberately avoids that coloration — its raw response exposes weak points in a mix rather than masking them, letting an engineer make faster, more repeatable decisions whether working in the studio, at home, or on the road.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eKEY FEATURES\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOpen-back, circumaural reference design\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e44mm High Excursion driver with ring magnet system\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCopper-clad aluminum voice coil reducing diaphragm mass\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLow 25 Ω impedance, easy to drive from portable devices\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMetal hinges and headband tested through 30,000 bend cycles\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFoldable design for easy storage and transport\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReplaceable memory-foam earpads and headband padding\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTwo detachable cables included: 3m and 1.2m, plus a 3.5\/6.3mm adapter\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eTECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eType: open-back, circumaural\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDriver: 44mm High Excursion\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFrequency response: 5 Hz - 28 kHz\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSensitivity: 110 dB SPL\/V\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTHD (@1kHz): \u0026lt;0.1%\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eImpedance: 25 Ω\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCables: 3m and 1.2m (detachable), 3.5\/6.3mm adapter\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Austrian Audio","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54332675490129,"sku":"60617","price":0.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0729\/8741\/0769\/files\/AustrianAudioHI-X651.jpg?v=1784209399","url":"https:\/\/wrdtunes.com\/products\/austrian-audio-hi-x65","provider":"Wired Tunes","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
