Frequently Asked Questions

Experiment with the AMTS sliders; small adjustments can significantly alter the tonal balance, allowing you to fine-tune the sound to your preferred genre or recording.
While the build quality is superb, the weight can become noticeable; consider using a comfortable headphone stand and taking breaks during extended use.
The EXPANSE offers a unique balance of detail retrieval and a more customizable sound signature through the AMTS, differentiating it from the often more 'clinical' sound of some competitors.
