New - Austrian Audio Hi-X65
Nov 17, 2022 at 8:06 AM Post #227 of 281
Maybe Austrian Audio can finally do what Sennheiser refuses to, or is now incapable of doing (once Axel Grell left) - build a proper German (or Austrian - close enough for me) successor to the HD 800. :nerd:

There is still much better, and who thinks that with a Utopia or Stealth is the pole position, which will soon be amazed at what is still possible 👍

NOMAX

PS.in 2023 will probably go the point to Vienna😉

Austrian Audio is developing some higher end model as far as I’ve heard…
Though I now have to add that they are in fact Austrian :wink:

A model that you put on your head and think to yourself, that can't be........how did they manage that?
Both in its acoustic performance 👍 as well as in construction 😉
(I was present with my Nutopia for comparison)

NOMAX

PS.Many things are possible, provided you make more of an effort and try it harder than the competition

Will most likely be my only purchase this year. Or next year if they take their time :wink:

@plakat

As someone between producers and community, I can't say too much, but if I'm amazed from the first 60 seconds, then that may mean something
In 2023 the point will go to Austrian Audio (formerly AKG) in every aspect 👍👍

NOMAX

PS.lol

@Nomax I can live with some suspense :wink:
I normally prefer more bass than you but I can't remember really disliking any model you recommended. I think the X60 gave a good glimpse at what they're capable of and as long as they don't go price-crazy I'm definitely interested.

Don't worry, the ........ will have a lot more bass,body and moving air mass without sacrificing resolution, transparency and audibility 👍
That this will not be available for only a few hundred is self-evident
However, I am 100 percent sure that this model will have the best price-performance ratio to all competitors in the highest price segment
(And who knows, because this model will be very easy to drive, it could well be that a Pentaconn cable is included😉)

PS.This is how I personally would have liked the acoustic performance of Dan Clarks Open Back....the Expanse
(Unfortunately this was not the case)

@Angel III I have it on all 4 sides. That must be some obvious build issues since I've cared about them so much, but I'm surprised no one mentioned it before.

Have you bent the steel of the headset headband? Taking them from the cups.

Let's wait if anyone has the same problem as you.This evening I check my Hi X65. Was it new when you bought it?
