The sound is pleasant, the features are very good. it is a gift the user is delighted! we recommend this article
Purchased about a month ago now, I am very pleased with these headphones. The audio quality is very good, but the preset equalizers on my smartphone quickly make a "boxy" sound that is not appreciated but easy to change. The headphones are comfortable, easily forgettable, but still sit well on the head, even when walking fast or moving a bit jerkily. What costs it the 5th star is the lack of active noise reduction. Passive noise reduction is effective but remains passive.
I am nevertheless very satisfied.
As a reminder, Focal sells these headphones as "Premium", so I expected much more:
1) "Usable with cable" ... but the microphone does not work with cable, so if you want to use it on PS/XBOX, there will be no microphone ! This is the kind of detail that should be specified in the product sheet !!!
2) You need to have small ears, otherwise after a few minutes you will be in pain. I was thinking of getting earpads as an accessory for a premium headset, but I couldn't find any, so I ended up making my own.
3) The headband hurts after a few hours, I spend a lot of time with it and I thought it would be a problem.
4) Small reminder, in bluetooth 4.1, the mic is only compatible in mono, so wasn't hoping to play wireless with good vocal sound. However the others hear me well and the quality is good.
Frankly, there's not much to say. You get what you pay for. The sound is excellent despite a very slight hiss. Very comfortable, good autonomy. I'm delighted with it.
The headphones respond perfectly to different types of music and TV. It is very neutral in the audio rendering which makes it very versatile in use.
I have not yet been able to test it long enough in games.
On the mobile side, the headset supports AptX so it provides good audio quality even in BT. And the wired mode makes it easy to connect to any device (PC, PS4, Mobile...)
The only flaw is that the positioning of the headset is very important. If it's off by even a centimetre, the headband can press too hard on the top of the head and cause discomfort. This is a problem that prevents me from giving the maximum mark.
Acoustically irreproachable, but the comfort of the headband is perfectible. Moreover, the length (1.20m) of the 3.5mm mini-jack cable makes it too short to use it with anything other than a smartphone or a walkman. I'm a little annoyed with the length of the cable, which is not mentioned in the product description, nor on the packaging, nor in the technical data sheet on the manufacturer's website.
The sound quality is impeccable, for my part no hissing even at low power, I have heard interference when the headset was plugged in USB charging and wired jack on the same PC, but I think the problem is not the headset but the PC.
Good product, good sound quality. I use this headset to listen to music with my computer and also my phone. When there is an incoming call, no problem to take it with this headset. I've been using this headset for a while now and I'm very pleased with the quality of the microphone and the sound quality. I would recommend it... I've been using it for a while now, but it's a good idea to take it with you.
Very good headphones. Focal sound not necessarily appreciated by everyone!
In any case, good sound isolation and very good sound quality for me
I live in the DOM and I'm amazed at how quickly my headphones arrived at my house. I've been using them for a while now and I'm very pleased with the quality of the sound. I'm not sure if I'm going to be able to use it in the future, but I'm sure I'll be able to use it in the future, and I'm sure I'll be able to use it in the future, and I'm sure I'll be able to use it in the future. I bought it to use at the gym and with the sound that comes out I double the effort lol. Thank you LDLC
