Focal applies its expertise in speaker transducer design to the Listen Pro. The pure copper voice coil driver delivers low distortion and accurate transient response. The result is midrange clarity and vocal presence that immediately impresses anyone used to less expensive headphones.
The Listen Pro achieves a soundstage wider than most closed-back headphones through careful acoustic chamber design. While not matching an open-back headphone, it provides a more spacious presentation than the ATH-M50x or DT 770 Pro.
The semi-circumaural ear cups and leather headband provide good comfort. The 32 Ohm impedance means the Listen Pro performs well from any headphone output without a dedicated amplifier. Detachable cables — coiled and straight — add practical value.
Producers and mixing engineers who want premium French audio engineering in a closed-back headphone. Particularly compelling for mixing pop, vocals, or acoustic music where midrange clarity is paramount.
The Focal Listen Pro is a premium closed-back headphone that brings Focal's speaker engineering expertise to personal monitoring. Exceptional midrange clarity, an unusually wide soundstage, and premium build quality justify the higher price over the M50x. For producers who demand the best midrange performance in a closed-back headphone, the Listen Pro is outstanding.
