Product overview

YOUR HORIZON ONE / ESSENTIALS EDITION

Choose your
VSX library.

Essentials and Platinum use exactly the same Horizon One headphones. The difference is the VSX software library included with them.

Start with a focused VSX collection, then add rooms as you need them. The launch offer adds Archon Studio and Club Indey to the core Essentials package.

Both packages include: Horizon One headphones, softshell case, detachable Y cable, ¼-inch adapter and a new VSX software licence.

VSX ESSENTIALS INCLUDEDPREMIUM CLOSED-BACK DESIGN

A closer listen

A refined headphone for the way you work.

Horizon One is the next generation of closed-back monitoring in the Steven Slate Audio VSX range. Its 50 mm dynamic drivers are designed for exceptionally low distortion, giving you a clean, detailed view of a recording, whether you are producing, mixing or mastering.

The closed-back design provides isolation for tracking, shared spaces and late-night sessions. Paired with VSX speaker modelling, it lets you hear your work through different listening environments from the same position.

01 / DRIVERS

50 mm dynamic drivers

Designed for low distortion and a revealing presentation, helping you listen into balance, detail and texture.

02 / CONSTRUCTION

Aluminium and maple

A high-grade aluminium chassis and figured maple wood earcups give Horizon One a solid, carefully finished feel.

03 / COMFORT

Leather over-ear earpads

A circumaural fit surrounds the ear, with premium leather earpads and a padded headband for longer sessions.

The materials matter

Made to feel as good as it sounds.

The dark figured maple earcups bring natural texture to a clean, understated design. Aluminium supports the structure, while the padded headband and leather earpads keep the listening experience comfortable.

Horizon One is the closed-back companion to the open-back Immersion One. Choose the design that suits your space and the way you prefer to monitor.

Practical connections

Connect. Listen. Get back to the session.

The detachable straight Y cable terminates in a 3.5 mm plug, with a ¼-inch adapter included for studio headphone outputs. Its approximately 1.9 m length gives you useful reach around a desk without a permanently attached cable.

A softshell carrying case protects the headphones between sessions. The headphones carry a two-year manufacturer warranty.
