So far I have a Sennheiser RS180 Headphones heard I voted vorranging for practical reasons (wirelessly), but value was placed on a good sound. He has also met this point, but the difference to a wired model could not be dismissed out of hand.
Really just a wasted idea, I recently received the headphone Yearbook 2013/2014 the magazine Audio in the fingers. Thereafter, the whole grew rapidly in the direction of a possible purchase decision. Until now, I had rolled some HiFi forums what the matter but not simpler designed: too many personal characteristics, such as open, semi-open or closed construction, on-ear, over-ear, musical tastes, etc. The pure jungle when it also does not have the time and the opportunities to listen to question models locally.
I am the cause ultimately tackled pragmatically: in addition to the fact sheets in the yearbook admitted some models detailed reports and here to me the description of the Focal Spirit Classic is particularly eye-pleasing. In short, I simply ordered it to me in Project acoustics. The delivery was handled by Amazon, unfortunately, at present do not have a lucky hand when it comes to the sense of the right packaging size. The box was too small and it was due to chance that the beautiful packing survived the transport.
What already makes me come to unpack: beautiful Fotokartonage than repackaging, a flap with magnetic closure opens the actual box. Click here for well padded and tidy. Each part (handset, two cables, shipping sacks) has its place.
The handset itself is a really fantastically beautiful piece. The brown chocolate tones look very noble. What struck me immediately to over-ear headphones the past that the earpieces seemed small. Now I have no rhubarb leaves as ears, all big enough and fits as it should. It expresses nothing (even if it is new and a little tight) and after a short time he should no longer be on at all.
I was at this evening not in the mood, but the new listeners wanted to be heard. A first brief test:
Conditioning: Audio PC (lossless, FLAC) -> Musical Fidelity V90 DAC -> NAD C316BEE Amp.
I have times querbeet through several musical styles heard (except heavy metal) and the Katergorie Female Singer Songwriter liked best. The fact that I have now heard a closed model, has taken place in terms of space in the short term only in the mind. Each tone has sounded good to the point very, very precise, nothing mampfig or too dull. The heights really fresh. Lack direct comparison but I was not sure whether that has already completely convinced me?
Then I said a few laps Focal burn missed in files and the next night, the second, more detailed test. I was on it better. ;-)
Same music selection again and what can I say, I'm thrilled. Racy and powerful in
Bass, the mids seductively soft and creamy, never thick and delicately fragrant upward so the magazine Audio. Better I could not describe it.
Oh, and before I forget: the 4m cables are perfect. No extension out of box required.
In a nutshell: the part remains and a strong buy recommendation! He's just good.
Addendum:
========
An indication I had forgotten, I am also wearing glasses and when you remove the glasses I have made equally positive experience. Here it comes, but probably on the frame of my wider strap made it a little uncomfortable, without, as described above, perfect!
