Austrian Audio HXC1m2 Replacement Cable 1.2m for Hi-X50/Hi-X55/Hi-X65

Austrian Audio HXC1m2 Cable: The Spare That Keeps Your Session Alive

The Austrian Audio HXC1m2 is a genuine 3.9 ft (1.2 m) replacement lead for the Hi-X50, Hi-X55, and Hi-X65 headphones. A cable is the one part of a headphone most likely to fail, usually at the worst possible moment, and a good spare turns that failure into a five-second swap. This short lead is equally at home as the backup in a gig bag or as the everyday cable for portable monitoring. It uses the same locking earcup connector and protected source jack as the original, so nothing about the sound or the fit changes. Keeping one on hand is cheap insurance for a premium pair of headphones.

A Compact 3.9 ft Lead Built for the Road

At 3.9 ft, this cable is short enough to pack flat and stay tangle-free in a bag, backpack, or pocket. That makes it a natural fit for creators recording on location, journalists monitoring in the field, and anyone moving between rooms with their headphones. The reduced length also keeps the cable clear of controllers, laptops, and camera rigs where a longer lead would snag. When space and mobility matter, the compact HXC1m2 is the practical choice.

A Locking Earcup Connection You Can Trust Under Pressure

The 2.5 mm earcup connector twists to lock, holding firm even when the cable is bumped or pulled during a busy session. That security matters most away from the controlled studio, on stage or in the field, where a snagged lead can otherwise rip the plug loose. The locking design also reduces the intermittent crackle that comes from a connector working itself loose over time. It is engineering aimed squarely at reliability when you cannot stop to troubleshoot.

A Genuine Replacement for Hi-X50, Hi-X55, and Hi-X65

Because the HXC1m2 is an original Austrian Audio component, it matches the conductor gauge and shielding of the factory cable exactly. That preserves the clean, detailed Hi-X sound and avoids the raised noise floor or muffled top end a cheap third-party lead can bring. Whether it becomes your daily cable or your emergency backup, it keeps the headphone performing to specification. For any Hi-X owner, it is a sensible part to own before it is needed.
