## Description

desertcart.com: Austrian Audio Hi-X65 Open-Back Reference-Grade Headphones : Electronics

Review: Best performance in their class - Very detailed driver here with a neutral/bright tonality, which accentuates detail and provides a clean, sharp, and high resolution soundscape, especially compared to warmer, more intimate cans like the Sennheiser HD6XX/HD650. This approach to neutrality might strike some listeners as a bit sharp or fatiguing for longer sessions, but a little targeted EQ is all it takes to correct this, should you desire to (the stock tuning is clear and accurate, but might be a little harder on the ears for longer sessions because of this quality). Needless to say, these some of the best performing studio headphones on the market at any price, and at around $300 or less, an absolute steal in the high end audio world. If you are considering these for pro work or critical listening, you will not be disappointed at all. Build quality and comfort are both superlative. 5/5 from me, will update if I run into any durability issues down the road.
Review: These headphones are top-tier and should not be overlooked. - I don’t normally post reviews but I just had to post one for these criminally underrated headphones. I have been a headphone addict for at least 12 years and I can honestly say that the Hi-X65 is one of the best headphones I have ever heard. If you are looking for headphones that dissect the music and present it to you with amazing imaging, instrument separation and detail, these are the ones to get. The detail… it’s what so many other headphones strive to achieve but fall short compared to the X65. Also these somehow have some of the best instrument separation I’ve heard under $1000. To top it off, these headphones are super easy to drive, I get AMAZING sound from these from my iPad with just the Apple headphone adapter. If there is one downside, and it’s not really a downside, is that the X65s require good quality music. I use desertcart Music HD with these and it’s just fantastic. If you have lower quality audio, these headphones will let you know that it’s bad. If a song has been mixed with hot treble, these headphones will let you know. If there is someone in the back row of the orchestra with a squeaky chair, these will let you know. Now, if you feed these things high quality music, you will just sit there in awe. Whatever the Austrian Audio team did to make these headphones, I hope they keep doing it and I hope word gets out about these and more people get to experience what I have. Amazing cans.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Anyone used these for competitive gaming? Or just gaming overall?**
A: I have used them for gaming.  I find the imaging excellent and the detail retrieval is fantastic.  

If there is one aspect I think that could be better, it’s the soundstage.  It’s not bad, it’s just a bit smaller than other headphones like the K7XX or the Philips X3.

### ⭐ Inexcusably poorly built for the price
*by J***. on February 10, 2026*

These sound great and they're very comfortable, but have terrible construction for the price & the company has pretty bad rent-seeking behavior. The flimsy plastic on the headbands separate and crack under normal use, and the paper-thin layer of faux-leather on the cheaply-made earcups is peeling off and exposing the foam underneath. This is not covered by the warranty & they sell replacement earcups for $65. They also have a proprietary cable for no reason I can identify other than to force you to buy replacements from them. For $400, and given the reputation, I would have hoped to get more.
