Austrian AudioHi-X60 Professional Closed-back Over-ear Headphones

These are very comfortable headphones and feel good quality. I am no audiophile but I was blown away by the clarity and detail of these headphones, I like a bit of bass and used to enjoy listening to my bass heavy Sony MDR-XB950's which now sound terrible in comparison. Whilst the bass isn't as heavy on the AA's it sounds more like it does on my half decent hi-fi. Hurricane by Cannons sounds superb. I am very pleased with my purchase and the higher cost was a worthwhile investment.

I spend a lot of time listening to music with headphones and have had numerous makes and models over the past 20 + years. So far, the Hi-X60s have outperformed all previous units. The sound quality is up there with the best I have had, but what puts these above the rest is the build quality, and as a bonus the ear sponges are replaceable.Update to the above review. After only 5 weeks of use it has broken. I take back my comment about the build quality. The parts that connect the speakers to the headband are so flimsy that one side has broken. Furthermore, Amazon won't do anything to help in getting it repaired or replaced. I will steer clear of Austrian Audio equipment in the future.Further update. The other side has now broken after 6 months' use. I have never seen such atrocious build quality.

The speakers are great, and they're really comfortable... for a few weeks. The adjustor is fragile and cracks from even delicate use over time. AA needs to not cheap out by using poor plastic where it should be solid metal.

Bought these expecting a big upgrade from previous headphone and completely underwhelmed. Very poor fot the price point would pay more the £100 for these. Purchased Beyer 1770 pro instead and wow factor straight away. Night and day in quality and sound.
