Focal Spark Wireless

 

The Focal Spark Wireless earphones deliver a bass-forward sound signature that would benefit from more high-mid presence.

Powerful, distortion-free bass response. Lightweight, secure in-ear fit.

Lacking in the high-mids. USB port cover can pop off.

At $100, the Focal Spark Wireless earphones offer a secure fit and powerful bass response. But we've tested similarly priced models that deliver more high frequency definition along with the pumped lows. The Skullcandy Jib Wireless and the JBL Reflect...

Focal Spark

 

The wired Focal Spark earphones deliver a rich, full bass response but could use a little more presence in the higher frequencies to balance things out.

Powerful bass response that never distorts. Lightweight, secure in-ear fit. Inline remote with exceptionally clear microphone.

Lacking in the high-mids. Not for those seeking an accurate sound signature.

Focal's recent headphones have exercised a little more restraint in the bass department and focused more on accuracy. The Spark's boosted bass is not unpleasant in the slightest, but it's missing its counterpart in the high-mids and highs—if we're...

Focal Spark Review (Page 1 of 4)

 

After leaving from an event on a cold Friday night in Edmonton earlier this year, I encountered a check stop and was stopped by the police. As I pulled into the stall, I rolled down my window and the officer began to speak. "Have you had anything to...

For about 1.75% of the price of the Focal Utopia at press time, how good is the Spark? Now, I have to admit I have never listened to the company's astronomically priced flagship, but the real question I have for Focal is this: How did they make...

Focal Spark Wireless

 

Focal Spark Wireless review: Decent wireless headphones, but they can't quite keep up with competitors at this price point.

Bold bass ; Decent battery life

Flawed Bluetooth performance ; Slightly awkard design ; Sharp treble and sucked-in mids

They may not have perfect sound balance or perfect wireless performance, but the Focal Spark Wireless have plenty of energy.

Focal Spark Wireless review

 

The unsophisticated design and sound aren't quite what we expect from Focal...

Good detail ; Decent battery life

Unrefined treble ; Neglected midrange ; Unsubtle bass

Not the standard we’ve come to expect from Focal - the Spark Wireless are pretty ordinary
