My comment:

Spellbound, totally overcome, in a celebration of sound.
As somebody perhaps rightly said, "ears" need not necessarily be used, but what is the alternative? "auditory enchantment"?
I offer my answer as probably the ideal choice.

Sorry, but ears are not enthralled. It's the person who is enthralled.

I would say this translation is the best in context compared to the other - it is short and snappy in French. A treat to my ears is how I would translate it.
