Professional Headphones
Our science, measurements, and listening tests have shown that 44mm is the optimum size for this design. It ensures professional performance in the HiX, moves a lot of air, and eliminates ‘wobbling’ of the diaphragm. This is akin to damping of the driver mass, which is where our membrane really shows results: it is ultra stiff while still reducing unwanted resonance.

The HiX55 circumaural closed back headphones provide over the ear comfort as well as portability with the foldable hinge design. Metal parts are used for all critical elements in order to guarantee long durability even under rough conditions. Developed from scratch, the all new 44mm HiX driver features a ring magnet system a home grown technology which has been incorporated into various award winning headphones in the past by our engineers. It allows improved air flow and the strongest magnetic field in its class. This ring magnet structure coupled with a copper clad aluminum voice coil reduces the weight of the membrane and voice coil that sits on it allowing it to move or change direction faster providing a better impulse reaction, highly desired for contemporary as well as traditional music production.
A double acoustic wall was designed to achieve the best damping results, to support this and increased comfort, the form factor of the earpads has been rethought completely, giving more room for the ears without enlarging the earcups, reducing fatigue from long listening sessions.
Engineered and manufactured in Austria, the HiX55, and its on ear brother the HiX50, are tailored to suit the demanding production conditions of today. With the all digital signal chain, using 24bit or even 32bit, the dynamic depth of contemporary source tracks puts engineer and material at the mixing desk to the test. material at the mixing desk to the test. material at the mixing desk to the test.
