ESI eXtra 10 Overview
Headphones and Modeling Software
The eXtra 10 headphones are a combination of lightweight, half-closed-back headphones and a modeling plug-in for binaural perception. With the included dSONIQ Realphones ESI Edition, which can be used as a DAW plug-in or standalone software, you can get true studio control room sound with your headphones, no matter where you are.
Optimally Adapted
The physical characteristics of the eXtra 10 form the basis for the adaptation of the popular dSONIQ software. Through months of fine-tuning, the ESI Edition has been optimally adapted to the ESI headphones down to the smallest detail. The result is a combination of solid audio hardware and an innovative technology designed to make the sound reproduction as reliable and precise as a high-quality monitoring system in the studio.
Presets for Fast Mix Checks
With Realphones, your eXtra 10 become a reliable monitoring tool for mixing tracks, whether on the road or in the studio. Plus, a single mouse click is all it takes to make them sound like hi-fi speakers, earbuds, or a portable device. Thanks to the software, you can check your final mix without even taking off your headphones.
Designed for Long Sessions
The eXtra 10 headphones are lightweight while providing clear and accurate reproduction for monitoring purposes in the studio, even without the dSONIQ software. Designed to adjust automatically to any head size and outfitted with extra durable and isolated earpads, the eXtra 10s are built for comfort when used for longer periods. Delivering a wide range with specially selected transducers, you will be able to listen to all the details of your mix across the whole frequency response.
