    Great sounding speakers, but noisy

    • Written by from Baltimore

    These speakers sounds fantastic - detailed, depth, great imaging, but they are very susceptible to noise both through the USB bus and power. While I think they have their driver design down, their power circuitry could use some redesign.

    Disappointed

    • Written by from MIAMI BEACH

    Volume control not visible, Sound was not as good as I expected. I purchased an apple hifi and found out there was no comparison> Hifi sound was much better. Very diappointed. :(

    Sound is good but needs more QA

    • Written by from Bothell

    Focal sound is good, lacks a bit of bass but that is solved with EQ and volume. Jazz sounds fantastic and classical I'm hearing new details. Other styles are hit or miss, sometimes more detail isn't desirable.

    However...

    On my unit iPod, Touch, and iPhone (1st & 3rd gen) charging and sync doesn't work. There is a loud thud upon waking my MacPro when using either USB or line in audio. Support is slow. As a result I expect to be returning them.

    Great sound, power specs ?

    • Written by from Longueuil

    The Focal XS are great speakers, great frequency response (all range), crystal clear sound and great design. My desapointment is related to the power of those speakers. I don't understand the power specs provided by Focal. I bought the Focal XS as a replacement for my Yamaha 8W speakers. The Focal XS power (2 x 30w and 1 x 70w) is not in the same range as my old 8W Yamaha. I will have to continue to use my old speakers when I'm playing back tracks and playing guitar with my tube Fender 15w amplifier.
