Their presentation is quite flat
Their design is a little confusing
bass extension is very strong too while not bass
anything less from a name like Focal
the mechanism sounds a bit clunky in the process
tonal variations of piano keys in that prominent bassline
smart string lights
Nor was the extravagant packing
Focal didn t stop there
the headband is not nearly as soft
lyrics portend is somewhat smoothed over
sound bounces off stone walls
audio can be too accurate in regards to casual listening
Clamp tends to be tight at the beginning but
does not require an amp
the clamping force is a bit on the high side
It may not display this or other websites correctly
very compressed and edgy recordings
got micro-fractures on both side

This is a headphone that happily goes toe-to-toe with home headphones at the price but still has a compact design and enough ability as a portable when you need it. This is a very impressive...
