After its previous experience in creating microphones, Austrian Audio have made the move into studio headphones, releasing the first of two models using a 44mm "High-Excursion" driver, the closed-back Hi-X55.
"Our science, measurements, and listening tests have shown that 44mm is the optimum size for this design. It ensures professional performance in the Hi-X, moves a lot of air, and eliminates ‘wobbling’ of the diaphragm," says Austrian Audio.
