Austrian Audio Hi-X65ECUS Ear Cushion Replacement Set for Hi-X65/Hi-X60

Austrian Audio Hi-X65ECUS Ear Cushion Set: Restore the Comfort and Seal of Your Hi-X65 or Hi-X60

The Austrian Audio Hi-X65ECUS is a genuine replacement ear cushion set for the Hi-X65 and Hi-X60 open-back studio headphones. It contains a matched pair of memory-foam ear pads plus a mounting tool, so worn or flattened cushions can be swapped for fresh ones in minutes. Over months of daily use, ear pads compress and lose their seal, and the sound and comfort of even a great headphone drift away with them. This set brings both back to factory condition without the cost of replacing the whole headphone. It is the simple maintenance part that keeps a trusted pair of Hi-X headphones performing like new.

Genuine Memory-Foam Pads Matched to Factory Tolerances

These cushions are built to the same acoustic tolerances as the pads originally fitted to the Hi-X65 and Hi-X60. Memory foam is a slow-recovery foam that molds to the shape of the head and then springs back, distributing clamping pressure evenly for long-session comfort. Because the foam density and pad depth match the factory part, the headphone keeps the exact tuning its designers intended. Third-party pads often change the internal air volume and shift the frequency response, so a genuine set is the only way to preserve an accurate reference sound.

Why a Fresh Seal Protects Your Reference Sound

The seal between the ear pad and the head is a core part of how any headphone reproduces low frequencies. When a cushion flattens or tears, air leaks around the ear, bass thins out, and the tonal balance you mix against quietly changes. Fitting fresh cushions restores that seal and returns the low end and imaging to their original state. For anyone mixing or mastering, that consistency is the difference between decisions that translate and decisions that do not.

The Included Mounting Tool and Easy Pair Replacement

Every Hi-X65ECUS set includes a dedicated mounting tool that seats the new cushions cleanly onto the earcups. The tool takes the guesswork out of installation, so there is no prying, stretching, or risk of damaging the earcup rim. Replacing both pads at once keeps the two sides matched, which matters for balanced stereo response. In a shared studio or rental setting, a quick pad swap also keeps headphones hygienic between users.
