Austrian Audio is still a young brand. Founded by a core team of ex-AKG personnel in 2017, it has gone on to produce some of the finest sensibly-priced wired headphones on the market.
Given the company’s heritage, it was interesting that the initial headphone releases focused on the more affordable part of the market, staying below £400 / $450 / AU$600. Even though we always suspected that the brand would move into more premium sectors at some point, it is still surprising just how ambitious it has been with the slightly awkwardly named The Composer.
