Focal Listen Professional - Pros & Cons

Focal Listen Professional

enjoy a luxurious look and well-processed materials
sleek and elegant with a black matte finish
great sound quality
amazing comfort
and attractive design
Workmanship and details are great
Easily replaceable (and easily available) parts
produced a pleasing pair of portable headphones
are insightful
rich
sensitive and spacious
solid bass and impressive volume
Consistency is also decent
the comfort and overall package is very good
Pro headphone both comfort and build quality are superb
The Listen feels nice and sturdy
low weight and cup-profile ensure long hours of monitoring
it is comfortable and is a better designed headphone
sturdy design and a comfortable and snug fit
high quality at an affordable price
equally good signal dynamics and fine detail
balanced
precise sound image and high dynamics
sound
ease of operation and scope of equipment
the Focal is particularly well suited for treble and high frequencies
entire casing is scratch-resistant and therefore perfectly suited to everyday use

Low frequencies lack volume
transient performance
the microphone doesn t pose one of Listen s selling points
weak point of Focal Listen is the lower-end of the audio spectrum
never one to resist churning out sub-standard funky breaks
distortion spikes that correlate with irregularities in the frequency response
a slight imbalance throughout the rest of the spectrum
headband material and a finicky fit of ear pads
I have been unable to decide on which instrument to master
not too tight that long periods in the mixing saddle are unbearable
Bad Headphone is a tad heavy
Slipping out is therefore impossible
mid-high range suffers from being suppressed
Only its high contact pressure will cause some issue with the a few users
The integrated microphone is conveniently located at mouth level
excessively with other more expensive headphones
