Bij ons (op afspraak) te bekijken en te beluisteren, de "the composer"-hoofdtelefoon van het oostenrijkse austrian audio. Dit is een échte premium hoofdtelefoon, die je ongeloofelijke rumtel
This €2,495 asking price is fair, sitting just €55 below the €2,550 median of recent used comps and well within the typical €2,151–€2,905 range for this model. Since the Composer launched in 2023 as Austrian Audio’s flagship open-back dynamic driver with no direct successor yet, timing is solid: you’re getting a current-gen reference before any potential price erosion from a new model.
The Composer is well-regarded for its 49mm dynamic driver delivering smooth, detailed sound with exceptional extension (5 Hz–44 kHz) and low distortion (<0.1% THD). It pairs naturally with most amps due to its 22 Ω impedance and 112 dB/V sensitivity, and includes a premium wooden case plus three high-quality cables (XLR 4-pin, 4.4 mm Pentaconn, 3.5 mm). At a fair price in unknown condition, it’s a strong buy opportunity if the listing confirms no wear or cable issues.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
Austrian Audio is a Vienna-based pro-audio brand founded in 2017 by former AKG engineers and creators after AKG’s Vienna office closed, with the company explicitly framing itself as a continuation of that local heritage. Its identity is tied to Austrian engineering rather than long consumer-audio history, so it is a relatively young brand by hi-fi standards.
The company is best known for microphones and headphones, especially studio-oriented models such as the Hi-X series and its vocal/instrument microphones. It is not primarily a maker of amplifiers, speakers, turntables, DACs, or cables; its catalogue is concentrated in professional and monitoring gear rather than full-system hi-fi components.
In the market, Austrian Audio sits as a serious pro-audio specialist with a reputation for high build quality, precise sound, and value above pure luxury positioning. It is best described as a niche, high-end-leaning brand for recording engineers, musicians, and discerning listeners, rather than a vintage-collector name or a broad consumer hi-fi company.
