I'm curious to see if the *execution* makes the whole package more useful - my experience with Slate is that they tend to make things that I find more useable and helpful than the alternatives. Theoretically, the whole package could work better for me than others I've tried because Slate has full control over the hardware as well - I'm especially interested in the extra analog circuitry in the headphones that appears to be correcting frequency response to make them more neutral.
Also - 'closed-back, beryllium driver, some type of porting added for bass' - this exactly describes the Focal Stellia. I absolutely love Focal headphones, but those are $3k and thus out of my budget range. Steven, are you willing to comment on whether Focal has had any involvement with the design/production of the Slate VSX headphones?
Hi, we teamed up with Silicon Valley Tech company Scaeva Technologies for the headphone, but Paul Wolff also worked on them and was the genius behind the Acoustic Ported Subsonics.
The software is precisely tuned (one year of tuning work!) to the headphone which makes this concept fairly unique.

1. It’s one pair of headphones that does airpods, beyer, etc?
2. It deals with the phantom center?
Kudos on the control room interface with different sets of monitors for the rooms.
Yes, we model the headphones you listed.. we even modeled both 80ohm and 250ohms versions of the 770s, and both wired and wireless Apple Pods.
Yes it has a huge phantom center depending on the modeled speaker.
Thanks very much for the questions!

It's rent to own $39.95/mo for 12 months in US or $479 straight up, and it's available on our website or at all of our dealers. Internationally it is the equivalents to $479 plus VAT and shipping fees.
