We consider a lower weight better because lighter devices are more comfortable to carry. A lower weight is also an advantage for home appliances, as it makes transportation easier, and for many other types of products.

✔Focal Elear
With a detachable cable you can use alternative cables, and if the cable is pulled it will pop out instead of breaking.

✖Focal Elear
Foldable devices are easier to transport and take up less storage space.
4.has a tangle free cable
✖Focal Elear
The cable is designed to minimize tangling.
5.travel bag is included
✔Focal Elear
The device comes with its own special case or pouch, which is useful for safe transportation.
6.has an open-back design
✔Focal Elear
The device is designed in a way that allows sound to go out through the back of the ear cups, which usually have vents or perforations. This design provides very natural and accurate sound.
7.is dustproof and water-resistant

The lowest frequency at which the device produces audio. The lower the low-frequency response, the stronger and juicier the bass.
3.highest frequency
23000Hz
The highest frequency at which device produces audio. The higher the high-frequency response, the clearer and crispier the treble.
The driver unit is the component that produces sound in the device. Bigger drivers are more powerful and can produce better bass.
5.impedance
80 Ohms
Impedance is the device’s electrical resistance to the current being pushed through it. The lower the impedance, the easier it is to get higher volume and requires less power.
6.sound pressure level
104dB/mW
Devices with a higher sound pressure level are generally louder when supplied with any given audio source.
7.has a neodymium magnet
✖Focal Elear
Devices with neodymium magnets are lighter and more powerful than those which use ferrite magnets. They also have more bass and clear high notes.
8.has passive noise reduction
