Burson Funk, Encel Gelati, Focal Elear

Burson Funk is seriously awesome, it’s got this lively, punchy sound that just makes everything more fun to listen to. Super clear, full of energy, and it really brings out the details in your music without ever sounding boring. Whether you’re chilling with some old favorites or exploring new stuff, it makes everything sound better in the best way.

The System

Listening with

Focal Elear · Headphones: open-back, dynamic (40 mm Al/Mg M-dome), circumaural · discontinued

Impedance: 80 Ω
Sensitivity: 104 dB SPL / 1 mW @ 1 kHz ≈ 115.0 dB/V (calc.)
Frequency response: 5 Hz – 23 kHz
Plugs / cables supplied: 6.35 mm cable (3 m); 3.5 mm jacks at the cups
Other: THD <0.3% @ 1 kHz / 100 dB SPL

Matching notes: At 80 Ω and 104 dB/mW, the Focal Elear is a low-impedance load, and an efficient one: about 0.56 V (4 mW, 7.1 mA) for 110 dB SPL (calc.). Burson does not publish a 80 Ω rating for the Funk. Its 32 Ω and 100 Ω ratings (2.5 W SE; 0.6 W SE) fall either side of it. The Funk’s under 2 Ω headphone output impedance is less than 1/40 of the load. ^{[1] [2] [3] [4] [5]}

Specs from manufacturer data unless a source below says otherwise. “calc.” values are worked out from those figures (V = √(P × R); 110 dB SPL used as a loud reference level). Gear listed without specs is not in our spec library yet.
