Austrian AudioHI-X15, Closed-Back, Over-Ear Headphones with High Excursion 44mm Drivers, Detachable 1.4M cable with 3.5mm, TRS Plug

If you're looking for a pair of reasonably priced over-ear headphones that don't break the bank, but also don't feel like a "budget" option, theses are the ones. I have a large head, and I'm bald, these headphones are still comfortable for hours of listening. The sound quality is also quite good at this price point. The bass is pretty weak, but the vocals and treble are crystal clear and the sound reverberates properly inside the cups.

I love AKG headphones. I have two pairs and am looking at getting another two or three different models. The k240s are my absolute favorite. However, these did not meet expectations. I returned these after 3 hours including driving to the drop-off point .. take that into consideration while checking this review.All plastic construction. Not easily-replaceable earpads. The lip for the earpads to bite is *under* the earcup requiring mild disassembly to replace, and there are no instructions for this. The adjustment on the headband feels awful, and I'm almost certain the hinges will snap after a few uses. They're really small in general and not comfortable at all.Packaging includes a mediocre cable tie. Clever that it works to tie the box together I guess.The cable is this fancy-ish locking mechanism. I'm not sure why this would be desired. If the cable gets caught I would prefer it pop out and let loose, not break the headphones because it's locked in. Not to mention the cable then is directional. I'm not even sure if any random cable will work even, or if they've effectively made a proprietary cable in 202X.Now for the sound.... I returned these in 3 hours counting dropping them off... I'm not exaggerating... The highs were so fatiguing it was almost painful. I watched two YouTube videos that I'm very familiar with and I couldn't stand listening to speech. The bass was fine but I couldn't get over the highs enough to really listen to it.I'm looking at the top-end open-backs next, but if I don't like those either I'll be sending them back as well. I'm really disappointed...

I am enjoying these. Good quality sound and comfortable.In retrospect, I probably should have stepped up a notch and purchased the Bluetooth version. The USB connector on my phone went bad which rendered these useless until the phone was replaced.

They are so nice and perfect sound comes thru

These headphones have a really nice balanced sound, and has a surprising clarity and space to the sound. Was genuinely surprised by what I heard, as each instruments sounds tight, clean, and packs a punch, but was still easy to listen to. Build quality was also very good, and the foldability made it easy to travel with.

Worth the $. Clean clear audio. Lots of detail. Comfortable. Solid build. Almost 0 leakage. Worth the price highly recommend on sale it's a must buy

Researched these headphones based on what little information there is and was lead to believe these headphones were Made in Austria...Austrian Audio's own Youtube video clearly touts the Hi-x15/25 as Made in Austria at 0:07. Received the box and surprise...label on very bottom of the box states Made in China. I had high expectations for these headphones but due to the deceit, I didn't even bother to open the box. Sent back for a refund.
