Absolutely STUNNING clarity with the low end not being too overpowering. I listen to an eclectic mix of music and have not noticed any variances at all. These headphones are really comfortable and I am able to listen for several hours without pain from them being too tight.

It seems like every speaker company on the planet makes headphones these days. In fact, there are even a few non-speaker companies out there making headphones. It's a crowded space already. Does the world need a new headphone line?

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.

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
