Looking forward to auditioning the new models.
I was impressed with Spirit One's sound, but not the style. Classic looks good though.

Hi Jude,

Thanks for the excellent video!

I don't recall you however mentioning the RRP of the Spirit Classic.

Do you know what it will be?

Cheers,
cansman

The fs1 sounded about average for the price. The style was really good though.

This combination of posts is basically a summary of all the on-topic debate that's ever happened on the FS1 thread.

Hi Jude, do the earpads of the Classic go all the way around the ear (as opposed to the Spirit One that sit partially on the ear)?

I have the Pro in review right now and I am very impressed by how it sounds. I can't wait to check out the Classic. I may have to own the Pro & the Classic for my personal collection. Thanks for the first look Jude.

I've watched this video a few times just so I can see the headphones again.  Man, I know I will be buying one.  BTW, Focal will have some nice surprises to show us at CanJam.  :)

Wow, these look damn nice! Too bad it's so expensive. :frowning2:

Considering the price is $399 I wonder how these compare to the new B&W P7. Although I don't know why I want to know, I can't afford that one either! One day... :rolleyes:

Yes, these will be interesting to compare, specialy taking the 100+$  extra for the P7 into acount. And then wait for a over-ear model from KEF
