  11.8K viewsFeb 2023

  The reviewer explains that 'flat' headphones are a misconception, as they actually refer to deviation from the Harman curve, and highlights the Audeze LCD-XC's key advantage: virtually zero distortion, which allows for effective EQ calibration without introducing artifacts. He concludes that while expensive, these headphones are worth it for their clarity, detail, and suitability for both mixing and recording, especially with a correction curve applied.

  AUSTRIAN AUDIO Hi-X55 HEADPHONES REVIEW | Best Headphones For Recording & Mixing Music?

  6.5K viewsSep 2020

  The reviewer found the Austrian Audio Hi-X55 headphones to be well-built, comfortable, and excellent in the top end with great clarity and stereo imaging, making them useful for referencing in the studio. However, they noted a flat bass response and a boost in the high-mid range that initially made the sound seem bass-light, though they adapted and ultimately appreciated the detail. They recommend pairing them with EQ correction for a flatter response and see them as a valuable complement to other monitors.

Overall, they strongly recommend the headphones as a great value upgrade from the HD 280s.
