Spirit Classic home use headphones have been honored by AVForums.com with a Highly Recommended Award.
This is a headphone that happily goes toe-to-toe with home headphones at the price but still has a compact design and enough ability as a portable when you need it. This is a very impressive headphone and whether it is an evolutionary leap or not, it deserves an audition at the price. (...)
Neutrality means different things to different people but it doesn’t take very long with the Classic to see that Focal may have a point with their views on the voicing of many other hybrid earphones. (...)
The Classic shows a fantastic combination of lightness and impact that unpicks the dense samples and instrumentals (...) with an assurance that is deeply impressive. The impression is that you are getting exactly what is on the recording without embellishment or augmentation. (...)
There is a presence and realism to performances that makes for a very satisfying listen and the Classic can find and extract detail that makes the difference between a recording sounding pretty good and being genuinely convincing. There is also a real sense of space to performances that means that even when you are listening to something seriously substantial, you get a good sense of the scale of the recording.
