Notes: FLAG: VSX is a headphones-plus-bundled-modeling-software system -- the closed-back beryllium-driver headphones are the hardware being cataloged here; the room/monitor/headphone modeling itself is software (companion app/plugin), out of scope per instructions but noted for context. Essentials ($299) and Platinum ($499) editions use the identical closed-back hardware and differ only in how many modeled spaces are bundled (7 vs 26+) -- price_usd given as a range covering both SKUs rather than guessing a single figure. 'VSX 7' is a free software version upgrade for existing hardware owners, not a new headphone model -- excluded as non-hardware. Steven Slate Audio is legally separate from Slate Digital; Slate Digital's ML-1/ML-2 mics are correctly excluded from this catalog. Price basis: official product page (no listed price found there) cross-checked against Sweetwater/Thomann retailer listings, current as of research date. Weight, exact cable length, max SPL, sensitivity, and country of manufacture were not published on any source checked -- left blank rather than guessed.
