A byword in the home and automotive audio industry, Focal of France recently unveiled its latest line of earphones, headphones and home audio systems at the Edsa Shangri-La.
Johann Tiu of Focal Multimedia said that the earphones and headphones reflect the company’s core values that combine technological innovation, audio excellence and quality that have made the brand the benchmark in the audio industry.
With production based in Focal’s high technology lab in Saint-Etienne, France, the Sphear, Spirit One S, Spirit Classic and Spirit Professional are the result of a risky challenge: to offer an audio experience worthy of the brand’s high-fidelity loudspeakers through these line of premium headphones.
Focal design and audio engineers crafted the line of new audio products to individually meet the requirements of the target market.
The Focal Sphear breaks with conventions and proves that high-fidelity, in-ear headphones can be used for hours on end without the slightest discomfort!
Sphear is faithful to Focal’s historic acoustic signature, the “Spirit of Sound,” with a particularly rich mid-range, which is never muffled, accurate and with clear sound. It is extremely faithful to the original work, and offers harmonic richness, from the low end to the high end, for true listening pleasure.
Thanks to their unbeatable performance in this price category, Sphear is the most accomplished in-ear headphones to date, the most comfortable and the most generous for getting the most out of your music, wherever you are.
Spirit One S was developed to take full advantage of Focal’s technological advancements and the company’s expertise. It is destined for all those who are searching for more than just a stylish product, but also for real acoustic equipment.
For the discerning audiophile, Focal’s Spirit Classic headphones offer a warm sound combined with the dynamics of the drivers, enabling one to find the pleasure of listening to music with all the wonderful details.
Spirit Classic’s sound tuning is perfect for listening at home: extended low end, a detailed mid-range and linear top end for a lighter, open sound–just what you would expect from Focal. Spirit Classic gives its best when the user is at home in a relatively quiet background. There is no need to mask the surrounding noise to enjoy a faithful listening session. Its frequency response curve has been sculpted accordingly: flat in low frequencies as Spirit Classic has around 3dB less bass in comparison to Spirit One.
For the professional, who demands the absolute best, Focal’s Spirit Professional headphones have been specifically designed to meet the expectations and requirements of Recording Studios, Home Studios and Broadcasting Studios.
The extreme care paid to the design of the Mylar-Titanium alloy driver enables it to combine rigidity, lightness and high damping properties to preserve the dynamics of the audio signal and provide remarkably neutral sound without any distortion.
The highly accurate reproduction of bass frequencies will reveal the smallest defects in the mix, while avoiding acoustic constraints of the workspace.
Spirit Professional offers excellent acoustic insulation to address the constraints of the often noisy environments specific to Broadcasting and Home Studios.
Estimated prices for the Focal earphones and headphones start at P7,500 for the Sphear, Spirit One S at P12,000; Spirit Professional at P17,500 and the Spirit Classic at P20,250.
