Focal Listen Professional Studio Headphones

Closed-back circumaural headphones that are the essential work tool for music production – their tonal balance and precision in terms of audio spectrum make them perfect to evaluate the sound work quality. The speaker driver has been given a 100% Mylar suspension, whereas the central dome is composed of a Mylar-titanium alloy to provide more rigidity and extended frequency response in the upper end of the spectrum. Thus, the moving part is extremely light, enabling the transducer to exceed 40kHz on a flat baffle. 

The reproduction of the bass and sub-bass registers combines a tuning frequency which is as low as possible and extremely low distortion (0.3% at 1kHz – 100dB). The size of the ear cushions gives them a volume which makes it possible to achieve a great tonal balance. Microfiber provides a more linear bass response providing a better acoustic output, whereas the acoustic tissue, which is closer to the speaker driver, offers great absorption and linearity in the 3-9kHz register. 

The headphones are also equipped with a headband boasting a unique design to ensure comfort and durability. Its curve remains consistent, regardless of the shape or size of the user’s head. Combined with the layer of silicone underneath the headband, this ensures that the weight is spread out evenly over the head, preventing the user from feeling any pressure in certain areas, which can be very uncomfortable during long working sessions. The horizontal and vertical rotation of the ear cups operate thanks to one single part: a joint integrated into each one. The ear cups also feature a black structured covering, making them resistant to impacts and scratching. 

The headphones come supplied with a rigid carrying case with thermoformed shell in the shape of headphones, two OFC copper 24AWG cables with a very low resistance, a 5m spiral for domestic use, a 1.2m cable fitted with a 3.5mm stereo jack connector and 3.5mm and 6.35mm jack adapter.
