Have you ever had four religious experiences in a weekend? OK, that might be hyperbole, but if you had the weekend I just had at Audio Advice Live in Raleigh, then you can relate.

Inspired by watchmaking, Focal headphones look like nothing else

Most headphone brands are racing towards the same goal: minimal, understated, almost invisible. Focal has gone the other way. Its headphones look like precision instruments: all sharp edges, polished chamfers and honeycomb grilles that wouldn't look out of place on a supercar's air intake.
