Quick Overview
The VSX modeling headphones from Steven Slate Digital are designed to simulate different listening environments, allowing for precise control of the audio mix. They come with a core of rooms/typical spaces, whether it’s emulating a couple of different very popular headphones that many of us use, including one of the ones they emulated or a set of headphones that have been used for probably 12, 13 years, and they’ve held up all that time and work great. The headphones are designed to be used in a variety of situations, including in an apartment, in a space where it’s not effective to mix, in difficult situations, or while traveling.
When using the VSX headphones, the user can expect to experience high-quality audio tone, with every mix translating almost perfectly in every situation. The headphones are also designed to reduce ear fatigue, which can be a common problem when mixing audio. The user can expect to be able to listen to the audio at a lower volume, which is important for maintaining the health of their ears.
