a very refreshingly different sound signature and very good perfomance for
Highs Highs are nicely done and have a bit more sparkle now
better transparency and is overall more detailed
high-quality and custom accessories
the quality of this one is a very nice touch
Accessories are well made and the attention to detail is also excellent making it attractive
improves the seal on the ears to more effectively block external noise and maximize bass
The Focal is generally sufficiently well built
Lively and entertaining sound Well
Both designs are visually identical and work around the same basic design principles
look at and your style of writing is wonderful and so easy to read and enjoy
Build Quality Ease of Use Design and usability Sound Quality
the supplied equipment is useful enough
sounded genuinely good - refined
powerful and well balanced
solid build and good overall comfort
a usefully light weight construction with a solid build and good overall comfort
excellent with instrumental and vocal music as well
rated very highly - and Spirit Professional
it takes the finesse and strong build quality
more linear and better extended
The ear cup cushions are soft and comfortable
the voices are very well extended and textured
speed
detail and slam of the bass are incredible
mids are lush
but detailed and very pleasant
certainly looks better and it is also more comfortable than Spirit One
accurate sound representation and enough bass to power most tracks

The only connection is at the base of the left earpiece
5G connectivity as standard
The battery life is a touch underwhelming
Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 3 may be expensive
somehow doesn t seem as revolutionary as previous generations of mobile broadband
There s no microSD slot support
sound leakage and block external noise
The high frequency has a lot of brightness
the controls are placed a little too high on the cable for my liking
they're not as comfortable as some to wear
high-end audio most certainly is not
too forthcoming
coupled with a slight lack of dynamic thrust
all there just slightly nasal
girlish and seductively wispy
s whistle was convincing
sounding a fair bit back
Drums were reduced in perceived size and presence
the Spirit One sounded a bit constrained and dark
it is not cheap
The illusion is not as complete as on much more expensive cans
without colouring too much of the sound
They probably cannot be driven well by the average MP3 player or smartphone
is no competition for this model
overtly boost or bloat the bass
never made headphones started jumping into the market
but no active processing or electronics are used
It may not display this or other websites correctly
the One S is a slightly unhappy blend of the two
the market has calmed down a bit
not every manufacturer will be coming back for more
The cord is also a little on the short side for home
Need some headphones for running
the CD it was ripped from
can be overly large for some people while commuting
There is no wireless Bluetooth available
The headphones are not holding well on my head anymore
not build better than spirit classic
is nowhere near me to actually see and hold one
There is a tendency to become a little synthetic and harsh
Sound leakage at mid-high volume is minimal at best

Review: Focal Spirit One

Some audiophiles consider Focal’s $180,000-per-pair Grande Utopia EM to be the world’s finest speaker. The Spirit One, Focal’s first headphone, weighs about 99.9% less and costs about 99.8% less. Yet its brushed aluminum metal parts, matte black soft-touch finishes, and detachable cord with a woven cover convey some of the Utopias’ high-end vibe.

Great sound, nicely balanced and, for the most part, comfortable to wear. The head clamp is extreme, but then with that comes some of the best noise

Review : Focal Spirit One & AKG Sports Headset K326

It is not often that a pair of quality headphones arrives at the same time a quality set of earbuds. Regular readers will know my aversion to the in ear stuffing of so many earbuds, so it was nice that the earbuds were over ear.
