Funny, they just released a premium planar version earlier today. It won't start delivery until December I think so we have to wait a bit for independent reviews.

I love VSX, it became better with each version and replaced my Focals at home (always difficult to get near perfect acoustics in a home studio anyways). Im 99% VSX now and mixes come out better then ever before.

 

This is a surprise haha! So what they told me is not valid anymore

 

Upgrade for $599 or Preorder for $899

I'd probably break those within a month.

 

Had to get replacements from temu dont care for 35€+shipping cushions.. still sounding great!

 

VSX Platinum is going down to $349, it's lowest price ever, for Black Friday starting November 1st, 2025.

 

$599 upgrade for platinum users…Yeah…no thanks

 

Hey guys, I know it's a bit off topic, but are there someone here who uses Slate VSX headphones but also use or tried dSONIQ Realphones? It would be cool to have some sort of comparison as Realphones is accessible for everyone to try right away and then have an idea of what to expect from VSX

 

Yeah, that is still very harsh

Don't think I can afford that. But they look great.

 

They all have their own strengths and weaknesses. I actually like Realphones for casual listening. Which one is the best? It's the one that you invest your time and energy into learning all the quirks. Everything else is marketing.

 

There are companies that hold patents on their inventions. I'm a long-time Sennheiser and Beyerdynamic customer and very satisfied with their products. With the Beyerdynamic DT-990 Pro, you can even replace the ear pads. You can't reinvent the wheel.

VSX, with a great deal of research and the intelligence of its engineers, has managed to develop something advanced to market maturity. Of course, they had to make it so good that it offered added value for users, because otherwise they wouldn't make any money, and VSX would disappear from the market because there would be no demand for their product.
