Road Test: Austrian Audio OC18 and HI-X65

AP makes no secret of the fact that he loves his OC818 from Austrian Audio, and I have to agree that it is a beautiful match to his warm tones. But at $1200 USD it's not exactly a bargain.

So what about its little brother the OC18 ($850)? Not quite as many bells and whistles, but is it even in the same league? AP has one in his hot little hands so we aim to find out.

We also thought we'd throw him in a pair of their new HI-X65's open-back headphones and see what he thought...
