recstar24 Posted February 23, 2012 Report Posted February 23, 2012 http://6moons.com/audioreviews/focal/1.html Lower end model but apparently will look at doing better models as well. Interesting.
swt61 Posted February 23, 2012 Report Posted February 23, 2012 As headphone sales exceed speaker sales by a fair margin these days, I look for more speaker companies to set their logs in this fire.
bhjazz Posted February 23, 2012 Report Posted February 23, 2012 (edited) As headphone sales exceed speaker sales by a fair margin these days, I look for more speaker companies to set their logs in this fire. Me too. I never thought the Marshall's (not really in this group) or the B&W versions took headphones too seriously. This one might hopefully be different. I'm a Focal fan, though, so maybe I'm just rooting for my own goals... Edited February 23, 2012 by bhjazz
swt61 Posted February 23, 2012 Report Posted February 23, 2012 Well I'd love to see a serious effort from Thiel. And if Magnepan could develop a great ribbon headphone...
atothex Posted February 23, 2012 Report Posted February 23, 2012 Looks plush. I never bought into using full-size headphones for commute or travel, though. Still, I've seen Beats at the gym, so maybe I'm just weird by normal people standards.
CarlSeibert Posted February 24, 2012 Report Posted February 24, 2012 Interesting. Did you notice that the second ad down on his page was for headphone products? Changing world.
HeadphoneAddict Posted February 24, 2012 Report Posted February 24, 2012 They wasted all those words on the Focal headphone and didn't even listen to it?
ktm Posted February 24, 2012 Report Posted February 24, 2012 They wasted all those words on the Focal headphone and didn't even listen to it? That would be like having a conversation with a model. Past the good looks, the rest would be a let down.
cAsE sEnSiTiVe Posted February 25, 2012 Report Posted February 25, 2012 They have a preview section where they give you a heads up of products in-house that are under review. A full-blown review is probably forthcoming....at least I would certainly hope so. An all out assault on the headphone hi-end from companies such as Focal would be quite interesting. As fuel prices wander into ridiculous heights, speaker manufacturers might find some added profitability in shipping more cans than 200lb+ speakers.
naamanf Posted February 25, 2012 Report Posted February 25, 2012 .... profitability in shipping more cans than 200lb+ speakers. Because people that buy $75k speakers are worried about $500 shipping.
cAsE sEnSiTiVe Posted February 25, 2012 Report Posted February 25, 2012 Because people that buy $75k speakers are worried about $500 shipping. I was thinking more in terms of the mfg's shipping costs to their various dealers, although certainly that cost is buried into the end-user cost. By the way, still enjoying your B22 amp.

Anaxilus Posted February 26, 2012 Report Posted February 26, 2012 No Beryllium drivers. I think I'll have to pass despite the 6moons siren call.
