This is the video that had to be made! You're right. These headphones are still amazing when it comes to the sound, but I had to purchase a second pair due to it being a better deal than grabbing a replacement cord and the pads separately.

@SeawellStudios 10 месяцев назад

Man, sorry to hear that! At the replacement parts prices though I’d say that makes the most sense. Thanks for taking the time to check out the video and share your experience!

Josh, your video quality is excellent! well done. I have to know, what camera do you use?

@SeawellStudios 6 месяцев назад

Thank you so much! I use a Canon EOS R camera with a Rokinon 14mm F2.8 lens.

I found you by your 'Pro Tools Crashes/Won't open session (4 ways to fix it)' video. I see you have extensive ProTools experience. I am having trouble with my new system having crashes with small sessions my system should be able to handle with no problem. Mac Studio, Focus rite 4i4 (3rd Gen), older MI Komplete keyboard and Adam A7Vs. Just doing midi orchestration sessions with Vienna Symphonic and NO other plugins at all. . The "buffer size" crash keeps happening no matter the buffer size I use. I can't find a solution and am considering changing DAWs but WTF? What's with later versions of PT??? Any suggestions?

@SeawellStudios 10 месяцев назад

Hey, sorry to hear that! I'll do my best to help. First, I would check and see if the version of Pro Tools you're using is compatible with your Mac OS: avidtech.my.salesforce-sites.com/pkb/articles/en_US/Compatibility/Pro-Tools-Operating-System-Compatibility-Chart

@ozzartheproducer 10 месяцев назад

when you did the change on them how was the sound? did it affect the sound in anyway?

@SeawellStudios 10 месяцев назад

I changed them about 3 months ago and I don't feel like the sound is any different.

@user-rn6ue5hp5m 7 месяцев назад

Did you find any frequency response change with the replacements?

@SeawellStudios 7 месяцев назад

I didn't notice anything but I'm going to swap them out a few times and really pay attention to see if there is a difference. I'll report back!

@Cypeq 4 месяца назад

4 years is ok for for earpads tbh. on cheaper headphones and with pleather in use they seem to rarely last 2 years.

@SeawellStudios 3 месяца назад

I've had cheaper headphones than this last much longer and take much more abuse tracking in the studio. If Focal had replacements in stock, it would be easier to stomach but as of writing this, they still aren't available so you're kind of stuck with 3rd party solutions for the foreseeable future.

@Cypeq 3 месяца назад

@SeawellStudios oh god 6 months and no stock? That's a bit tragic at this point. Still most people rather buy 3rd party stuff because first party pads are overpriced as hell and that is not limited to focal.

@SeawellStudios 3 месяца назад

@@Cypeq I just checked back and I first contacted them July 5, 2023 🤦🏻‍♂

@jimsanderson4180 2 месяца назад

I have the Focal Spirit One headphones from back in the day & the earpads have deteriorated badly. Unfortunately, the pads are not meant to be easily replaced (you have to tear them off the headphones).

@h-dawg6462 8 месяцев назад

changing pads after 4 years isn't that bad, no need to sound so depressed about it! what would be depressing is if the new after-market pads changed the frequency response.

@SeawellStudios 8 месяцев назад

Not depressed LOL but when you baby a pair like I did, you expect them to not disintegrate.. Also, considering as of the timing of my reply here, the original pads are still back ordered and out of stock. It is what it is but I expect better from Focal. I've mixed on a pair of Twin 6BE for 15 years now and haven't had any issues so I know they can make a high quality, durable product.
