I have been using these nearly daily for the last 3 weeks, mainly while walking the dog for an hour or so after work, but also while sitting in the dining room when I cant have my speakers playing. I have found the sound to be pretty good, lots of detail, roomy sound and deep clear bass.

Focal is no stranger to these parts and their wares have impressed the Techaeris crew. The company has a track record here, winning four Techaeris Top Pick awards and now hoping for their fifth. The company sent over their latest offering, the Focal Listen Wireless headphones.

Nice build quality; Very comfortable; Extraordinary sound; Great battery life

Bass lovers may not enjoy these

Focal's Listen Wireless headphones cut the cord but kept the amazing performance.

Clear and balanced sound; Very comfy to wear; Good noise isolation; Killer battery life

We could've used a little more bass; No multipoint Bluetooth

I've reviewed many of Focal's headphones and am continually impressed how this French speaker company allows its innovative-and expensive-audio expertise trickle down into their less expensive products. Case in point: the Focal Listen Wireless headphone.

Well made; Good all-round headphone; Great audio-even for Bluetooth; Comfortable; Good battery life

Expensive for some

If you're looking for huge bass or completely flat response, the Focal Listen Wireless headphones satisfy neither criteria. Instead, they will appeal to listeners who want something closer to flat response, but are happy to receive some extra richness and boosting in the lows.

Balanced, rich, crisp sound signature; Comfortable earpads; Includes cable for passive listening

Cable lacks inline remote control; Not for those seeking huge bass response

At $299, the Focal Listen Wireless headphones deliver a solid audio experience in line with their lofty price tag. The highs are clear and crisp across all genres, and sculpting and boosting are kept to a minimum. Booming bass lovers might be disappointed with the general restraint exercised here, however—there's bass, but the primary goal is balance. The design is simple and stylish, the on-ear controls are easy to operate, and overall, the pair is a strong entry in the luxury Bluetooth headphone realm for listeners seeking accuracy—but there are several other tempting options to consider. Design The Listen Wireless headphones look clean and refined. They have an all-black contour with glossy surfaces on the earcups and matte surfaces on the headband. Red grilles are one of the few design flourishes—behind these grilles, 40mm mylar titanium drivers deliver the audio. The circumaural (over-the-ear) nature and plush earpads make for a comfortable fit, and also block out some ambien...

You may not have heard of French audio company Focal, but among audiophiles its speakers and headphones stand in high regard. The Listen Wireless is the company's first crack at a full-size premium Bluetooth headphone.

Focal's Listen Wireless is well-built Bluetooth headphone with rich, refined sound imbued with a lot of presence -- perhaps too much for some people.

The Focal Listen Wireless has a sturdy design, fits comfortably and snugly, and sounds excellent for a Bluetooth headphone; It folds up to fit in an included neoprene case and comes with a cable for wired listening; It also works well for making calls.

The sound is a tad bright, which can make some music sound harsh; Heavier than some competing models; Lacks active noise cancellation.

Focal blew everyone away last year with its stellar line of headphones. We were impressed with the stellar sound quality of the Focal Listen , the most affordable over-ear headphone the company released coming in at $250 (£150, AU$329).

Balanced; audiophile sound; Good noise isolation; 20-hour battery life

No multipoint Bluetooth or ANC; Disappointing value; Fingerprint and dust magnet
