Sound is clean but colored.

Head-Fier
Pros: sweet, airy, fast, lively, musical sound, large soundstage - built in DAC, good built
Cons: -
Overpriced, design stuff, the most people will think at first looking at these small high-end mobile speakers. Not at all, these sounds better then my Triangle-Yamaha hifi which is twice the Focal's price used. This is a good entry level audiophile system for computer (or iPod) use.
The computer and iPod will use their built in DAC. I compared this with B&W MM-1, Audioengine A2, A5, in detail, power, soundstage, musicality won above all.
I even had the opportunity to compare these Focals with a [size=small]$[/size]10.000 custom hi-fi system, and with a high-end Goodmans system, of course those sounded better in every way but.. the Focal's sound were closer then i'd belive (compared to the price difference).

Head-Fier
Pros: neutral, clarity, soundstage, lively, comfortable, easy to repair
Cons: ear and headband pad replacement are expensive and doesn't last forever
Personally i prefer this design over the HD600

Head-Fier
Pros: Well detailed, never harsh, sweet midrange
Cons: Rolled off treble, not an all-rounder, not as engaging
I liked them much with instrumental music or whatever that does not require a large soundstage.
Others mentioned that it has a large soundstage for an IEM, i agree. It doesn't have the crisp, lively sound my most of music requires so i sold them.

Head-Fier
Pros: detailed, clean, balanced, no need of powerful amp
Cons: unexciting, harsh on some frequencies
It doesn't really need amp, but it benefits from them. My ears got tired of listening to them.

Head-Fier
Pros: Full-sized headphone like sound
Cons: build quality could be better, It may sound a bit harsh on high volumes
These were my sweetest sounding head-gear yet. It would be brilliant all-rounder if it would not require a portable amp for portable use. This is the first reason i left it, otherwise i almost got an ear infection from those foams.., they get dirty in a few weeks of massive use. I recommend them to clean, i boiled them in water.

Head-Fier
Pros: Nice mids, very easy to drive, very good build
Cons: lack of realistic sound
I had it for a week then sent back, i didn't like the slow and unrealistic presentation.
Rolled off treble made it sound like a tetris with electronic music. It was an acceptable performance
for most of genres, exceptionally good with instrumental music. Very comfortable and it has never been harsh.

i for one think the same but im not really sure if its the rolled off treble... the whole genre of d&b sounds damn funny and unrealisitic.

You returned them because of unrealistic sound yet gave them 4/5 stars? Am I missing something?
