The Focal Professional headphone line expands to three models with a new closed-back headphone that ‘delivers an accurate, linear response while providing incredible comfort and isolation’
Focal Naim America today announced a new headphone model in the Focal Professional line designed for producers, sound engineers, musicians, beatmakers, and composers: Lensys Professional. Crafted in the French audio brand’s workshops, the new addition is a high-resolution tool for in-studio production or creating music on the move. The closed-back design, meticulous ergonomics, and exclusive aluminum/magnesium drivers make Lensys Pro the perfect headphones for working on music and audio anywhere. They join the Clear Mg Professional ($1499.) and Listen Professional ($299.) in the Focal Professional headphones collection. Lensys Professional has a US-suggested retail price of $699. and are available to order at retailers in the US and Canada starting October 8th. In North America, Focal products are distributed exclusively by Focal Naim America.
“Closed-back headphones come with some innate challenges that make accurate, reliable translation a challenge,” says Joshua Estock, Focal Pro Director at Focal Naim America. “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.”
Accuracy. Anywhere.
The Lensys Professional headphones were developed to be a reliable, versatile tool for any work environment – whether in a recording studio or on the road. They provide balanced tonal neutrality and serve as an immersive companion for binaural audio applications within a three-dimensional environment (e.g. Dolby® Atmos™). Their robust design incorporates sturdy materials including the aluminum headband. The carrying case ensures the headphones are well-protected, and the package includes two cables, enhancing portability and versatility.
Create Your Own Space
The Research & Development team at Focal worked diligently to create a headphone that provides accuracy while guaranteeing comfort and isolation to ensure portability without compromising the monitoring experience. Lensys Pro achieves this by utilizing some of Focal’s outstanding innovative technologies.
Patented Speaker Drivers and Focal Experience
Focal engineers chose a 1-5/8″ (40mm) aluminum/magnesium electrodynamic driver with an ‘M’-shaped dome, a unique innovation offering incredibly precise sound reproduction. Aluminum is used to increase the driver’s rigidity and greatly reduce distortion, while magnesium helps to ensure excellent damping. With this combination of materials, the driver delivers deep bass, accurate high frequencies, and crystal-clear midrange — all carefully tuned for the audio professional. The ‘M’ shaped dome achieves exceptional rigidity creating a linear frequency response and improved sound dispersion. The drivers are angled toward the ears within the earcups to enhance stereo imaging, and the optimized acoustic load at the back of the drivers delivers excellent low-end extension.
Comfort and Isolation
Focal focused on controlling and ensuring proper sound reproduction specifically for pro audio applications in the new headphones. Each component of the Lensys Pro — from the cushion depth to the thickness and type of materials enveloping the drivers, to the composite material of the driver itself — is optimized to contribute to the overall performance and sound quality. Designed for lengthy production sessions, Lensys Pro are lightweight, at 10.8oz (306g), and feature memory foam earpads, providing a comfortable fit and excellent sound isolation from external noise. As flexible as it is solid, the headband is covered with a breathable fabric for extra comfort.
By incorporating high-quality, long-lasting materials, Lensys Pro is equipped to journey wherever music is made and let audio professionals work confidently, ensuring accuracy and prioritizing detail while maintaining a high degree of comfort and isolation.
