Focal Spirit One S - Pros & Cons

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

but no active processing or electronics are used
never made headphones started jumping into the market
overtly boost or bloat the bass
Focals are also lacking a bit of thrust
the CD it was ripped from
can be overly large for some people while commuting
There is no wireless Bluetooth available
the Spirit One S is a fragile device
The headphones are not holding well on my head anymore
is nowhere near me to actually see and hold one
not build better than spirit classic
is no competition for this model
the market has calmed down a bit
The cord is also a little on the short side for home
the One S is a slightly unhappy blend of the two
not every manufacturer will be coming back for more
It may not display this or other websites correctly
the controls are placed a little too high on the cable for my liking
There is a tendency to become a little synthetic and harsh
The high frequency has a lot of brightness
Need some headphones for running
Sound leakage at mid-high volume is minimal at best
