Focal has introduced Lensys Professional headphones for producers, sound engineers, musicians and composers.
Crafted in the French brand’s own workshops, the new addition to the company’s product line is a high-resolution tool for in-studio use or creating music on the move. The closed-back design, combines exclusive drivers and meticulous ergonomics. Focal engineers chose a 40mm aluminium/magnesium electrodynamic driver with an M-shaped dome that allows precise sound reproduction. The drive unit components are angled within the earcups to enhance stereo imaging, while the acoustic load is optimised to deliver performance similar to that of a bass-reflex loudspeaker, for low-end extension.
The Lensys Professional are lightweight, at 10.8oz (306g), and feature memory foam earpads, providing a comfortable fit and sound isolation from external noise. The headband is covered with a breathable fabric and follows a smooth curve, ideal for over-the-head wear for binaural audio applications in a three dimensional environment (Dolby Atmos).
Key features:
- Professional closed-back headphones.
- M-shaped Al/Mg drivers for increased stiffness.
- Optimised speaker driver acoustic load.
- Light and ergonomic memory foam earpads.
- Hard-wearing with excellent sound isolation.
‘Closed-back headphones come with some innate challenges that make accurate, reliable translation a challenge,’ says Focal Pro Director at Focal Naim America, Joshua Estock. ‘Low-frequency hype and midrange congestion are typically traded off for isolation. Lensys Pro is an exception to this. They deliver an accurate, linear response while providing incredible comfort and isolation. Our open-back Clear Mg Pro has made its way into the studios and travel rigs of many top engineers and producers since their release. Now they have an accurate, closed-back companion with Lensys Pro.’
