Austrian Audio Hi-X60 Over Ear Headphones. Austrian Audio has extended its highly-successful Hi-X6 headphone range with the addition of the Hi-X60 model - a professional reference headphone for recording and FOH applications. Featuring the sonic signature of the Hi-X6 series, with its natural and spacious sound, the Hi-X60 over-ear, closed-back design is ideally suited for use in loud environments, for example, in the studio or front of house (FOH). In the studio the Hi-X60’s closed-back isolation prevents sound from escaping out into the recording environment and interfering with the microphone capture. At FOH the high passive-noise suppression ensures an optimum signal-to-noise ratio creating an accurate and hearing-friendly sonic environment. For instrument or vocal tracking both features work together to provide the artist with a coherent, healthy signal without leakage. The Hi-X60 offers remarkable comfort even for long sessions, leaving the user fatigue-free and able to focus on workflow. All touch points are made from soft, durable memory-foam. The ear pads feature the acclaimed Hi-X design with plenty of internal space and smaller external size. The ear pads can be replaced with ease. In addition the headband has a smart cut-out to relieve pressure on the head.
