VSX software provides a pro mix environment and a myriad of reference sources

Mixing in a subpar acoustic environment is an exercise in frustration. After all, you can’t trust what you hear. That’s where the VSX Essentials Edition comes in. This state-of-the-art set of headphones takes the room out of the equation using authentic-sounding digital re-creations of world-class studios, car stereos, nightclub sound systems, high-end headphones, and more. The engineers here at Sweetwater not only appreciate how the VSX Essentials Edition gives us the ability to mix in a fine-tuned pro-level room, but also how it puts a useful cache of reference sources at our disposal. Getting mixes to translate has never been easier!

Cutting-edge design ensures linear, detailed response and rock-solid low end

Even without all the bells and whistles, the VSX is a superb set of headphones. Lightweight beryllium hybrid drivers deliver a flat, linear, detailed response, while a patented Acoustically Ported Subsonics (APS) system leverages air pressure to reproduce low frequencies with extreme detail. Even before you bring the VSX’s revolutionary binaural perception modeling software into the fold, you’ll experience your mixes in a whole new way.
