Be warned of software centered hardware
Anonymous 13.06.2023
Going into this purchase with some skepticism but seeing many good review of this product. I decided to give these headphones a try.

After recieving the product I was greeted by a nice package. Headphones, Carrying hardcase and a cable with a 6.3 jack adapter. pretty much all you need. and of course there was the license for the software.

After using the headphones without the software for a day and with the software for another these are my impressions.
without software these headphones honestly sound the worst I have heard in a long time. with weak bass and nearly non existant high I was significantly dissapointed. I did notice that these headphones seperate each sound quite well the stereo seperation was again pretty dissapointing. but okay these headphones are advertised with the software in use.

With the software these headphones sound significantly beter but was dissapointed again to find out that my favourite emulation was that of de 80 Ohm Beyerdynamics DT770 Pro. meaning I could have saved about 230 euro If i just bought those.

so my verdict was to return them. Unfortunaly this is where the real problem started. At first I contacted Steven Slate directly regarding the refund. I was told to contact Thomann for the return.

After contacting Thomann I was asked whether the software was activated which it was. as a reply I got told that I could not return the headphones because of the activated license.

I am currently contacting steven slate again hoping they can help. But If you are considering these headphones but are skeptical aswell then just DO NOT BUY. you can not test these headphones without activating the software and you can not return them if you. For me I am never considering software centered hardware ever again!

Gamechanger
Timo Rotten 27.02.2023
The VSX are an absolute game-changer for doing work on the go, in untreated environments or studios you are unfamiliar with.

I have no trouble wearing them over extended periods, even while wearing glasses.

The software is intuitive and easy.

Best headphones for mixing
Fernando Guerra 26.05.2023
I tried any kind of headphones and speakers in differents rooms, i say comfortable that VSX is the king of all traslation.

If you have room profesional treated and big speakers like pmc, atc, amphions, maybe you dont need these, but lets be clear.
Must of us work in not ideal rooms and dont have the budget to spend 10K in only speakers.
