I think these are appealing to me more than the Focal pair. Review here:

If you like a more clinical, analytical sound from your headphones, then Beyers are great but, I prefer the French way of doing things.

Try them both.

Why do you want wired headphones? Your iPad has Bluetooth, right?

Yep, iPad has Bluetooth and headphone jack. I still got my B&W P7 headphones though so was just checking out which wired headphones were still around. Not buying though just looking. I would demo before buying for sure.

Your "just looking" will end up with a purchase. Be very careful.

Which is the French way? Thanks

Added garlic!

Or, less clinical, more punchy with rock music.

They use berets as ear pads 😉 😉

Sounds like I would prefer the Focal then. Cheers!

Still best to try both, then make your own mind up.

Depend upon quality!! But generally they work great

Never mind headphones......
That's a nice chair you've found there Samantha 🤮

I’m not ready yet to pay more than $800 for one set of headphones

Yet?
Plenty of us will never be ready.

I think you can go for Beats Studio3 Headphones, they are $245.

Seriously brother I don't have that big heart to give $800.

Nor did I. I ended up purchasing a second hand pair for £280 in the B&W P9 wired headphones.

That was a good decision.

Thanks brother. 👍

 

[SethF2200]

You are welcome.

 

[Freddy]

You are welcome.

Yep, I got a refund on the B&W PX7 headphones wireless after a year and a half because they were rubbish and used that money to buy the B&W P9 headphones. Great bit of business there. 🙂
