Focal JMlab reviews & products

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

These superb headphones have a price tag to match their talents...

Focal's produced a pleasing pair of portable headphones...

These are impressive and sophisticated speakers, but they just lack a bit of bite

Given plenty of room, these hefty floorstanders are wonderfully polished performers...

The Focal Aria 905s are talented, confident-sounding standmounters, but can they be considered class leaders?

Another fine pair of headphones from Focal, but not the punchiest

Dimension is a bold move for Focal but it’s paid off. A high-end, high-quality soundbar

Detailed, dynamically good, and compact cans that require a touch more ‘oomph’ for a full star set

This simplified take on a Bluetooth receiver isn’t without its quirks, but the Focal is a very talented performer

A great set of speakers with a big, mature sound and plenty of skill to drive it

There’s no arguing with the features and convenience here, but there are sonic compromises

A thoroughly listenable set of desktop speakers with stacks of detail and Bluetooth convenience, if not the last word in excitement

Accept that the SM9 was never intended as a domestic speaker and simply enjoy the brilliant performance 

Amazing design puts these stereo speakers at the top of the pile

Another premium headphone to add to your shortlist, but not the most exciting sound

Focal brings hi-fi sound to the desktop

Impressive on almost every level, these sexy style speakers serve up some serious sonic heft and impressive musicality

Bold and assertive, the Focal Chorus 706V are thoroughly enjoyable speakers

The XS is very good, but with tighter bass control it could be a class-leading system

In terms of show-room and living-room appeal, the Focals are up there with the best.

The Focals are good for the money, but if you can spend more, do so
