Best headphones Iâve ever bought.
Sooo since this is the most expensive pair of headphones I ever bought I can honestly say Iâm not disappointed at all. Iâve owned plenty of headphones but not at this price range and I donât consider myself an audiophile BUT I do know trash audio when I hear it (yeah Iâm looking at you AirPods) most people think boomy bass and bright highs are quality headphones but Iâd disagree. These headphones have such a natural sound to them and the voacals are so clean and clear, the soundstage is impressive, the range of these headphones are great. Bass is there but itâs not trying to replicate the sound of a subwoofer like the beats headphones try so hard to do. I havenât noticed any distortion on the IPhone 6s so thatâs a plus. One thing to note is if you donât have a quality source for you music then results will vary think of these like a white car it will show dirty audio if itâs there. Noise isolation is great tho I will say the sound leakage is definitely there so keep that in mind if youâre around people. The comfort is pretty average to me but I have thick hair so it could be different for you.

Durable and Comfortable!
Amazing product! Worth every penny. Unlike many cheap quality headphones out there, this one is made from high quality materials. It’s also very comfortable with an excellent sound quality.

Poor construction
Use these pretty minimally and only in the studio. One side of the strap adjustment slides out now, and the ear pads bleed dye. I didn’t notice the dye until it bled on my desk wood which is ruined now. I’m careful with my equipment, so I wasn’t expected them to turn junky so quick. Given no satisfactory options from support in regards to the pads – more of just a shrug and buy some new ones. Not worth the price in the long run.

Great quality
I bought these for my husband who is a professional Dj and runs his entertainment business. He absolutely loves the quality and high performance of these headphones. Very comfortable, well worth the money. Highly recommend.

Excellent product with one important catch
These headphone are GREAT for long use. Simlar to other reviews, they’re unique in that you can use them for hours (at a reasonable volume) with little to no strain on your ears. The closed back also provides some noise insultation, leading to a more immersive experience.My one issue around these is the headband comfort. The headband is NOT comfortable! It’s made of hard plastic with a very thin layer of not-very-soft padding. After about 20-30 minutes I start to experience discomfort wearing these.I wouldn’t let this discourage you from buying the Focals however. There are a bunch of headband covers on Amazon that add extra cushioning. I got this one and it will arrive in the next few days: https://www.amazon.com/Universal-Replacement-Protector-Compatible-Headphones/dp/B082W5S9PG/(I will update the review once the cover arrives to see if it helps.)

Disappointing
I read some reviews and thought these would be really good headphones for what I need. Honestly, the price I paid is enough money to get some really good headphones. These are not them. They sound kind of muffled, the bass doesn’t go deep, the soundstage and imaging isn’t great. Honestly, the best thing about them is that listening to them made me go on a broader search for some actually good headphones. I ended up spending a little more and getting a deal on Hifiman Edition XS and a portable DAC/amp. They sound amazing and have an incredible amount of detail.If this is your budget, consider Beyerdynamic, Sennheiser, Hifiman Sundara (if you can find it on sale) with a basic amp. Heck, you can do better with a Hifiman HE400se, and save enough money to get an amp, swap out the cable, and have some left over.I don’t really recommend these for anyone.

Definitely worth the money
These are super comfortable and the sound quality is amazing!! Perfect amount of noise cancellation and thereâs little to no noise that you can hear if youâre in the same room as me. I love the case it comes in, it makes it easy to pack for travel. Definitely recommend these

Supposedly French made, damn fine headphones! — 24 month update
Supposedly made in France, these headphones are top-notch. At 32-ohms, they aren’t ideal for my i-Device, but with a proper headphone amp they’re awesome.Big Bass is sensed by the entire body and not just the ears, so headphones will never be on equal footing with full-range speakers. Nonetheless, bass is pretty good and not overdone, and isolation from external noises is really good.They are slightly bulky. The curved headrest on airplane seats interferes a bit with an otherwise perfect fit.After using these exclusively for air travel over the last few years I’ve learned the left channel is about 5dB quieter than the right channel. I sort of notices it early on, but always dismissed it blaming my ears equalizing unevenly to the lower air pressure at altitude.Pay attention to this “feature” and be ready to send them back. Unfortunately I figured this out 1 month after the manufacturer’s warranty expired.

Looks luxurious. And sound good too, though I prefer the sound of open headphones. But you know that when you buy these. Sturdy. And have a nice case to store them in. I really dislike the way the headband clamps my head too much, even after quite some months of use. And I also really dislike the plastic wire, which gives a lot of contactsound when it rubs your clothes.

Bought as an addition for my home studio, these headphones have very quickly become my go to reference headphones for mastering and general production when its unfeasible to use monitors.Out of the box the headphones sound a little dull, I feel this is where a lot of the more negative reviews have stemmed from but after a good run in period for me was around 72 hours (typical of most High-end audio headphones and speakers) the sound really opens up. Lows sound controlled and precise with no muddy-ness and highs are sharp and snappy.My best advice for these looking at these headphones, without a headphone amplifier these can sound a little underwhelming, when used with an amplified source they get the power they need to sing.

Le casque est super, et je ferais le même retour que celui d’autres testeurs.Pour le peut qu’on ait des bons fichiers audio le son est propre sans fioriture sans excès.Il a une excellente isolation passive.Il est jolie.Les accessoires fourni sont intéressant.Pour les points négatifsIl tient chaud.On sent l’arceau sur le sommet du crane. (ce n’est pas douloureux on sent juste qu’il existe)J’ai manqué de chance mon modèle semblait avoir un défaut (je pense que c’était une visse mobile à l’intérieur du casque)Le service client du revendeur ILLEL a été rapide et pour le remplacement du casque. Je suis satisfait .Merci
