If you can still find them, the DEKONI Ltd Stellia Sheepskin pads also give the Clear OG a nice bass boost and IMO also improve extension.
The DAC also plays a role, my Chord Hugo 2 has a much more defined and extended low frequency than the Mojo for example.
Clear OG + Ltd Stellia pads + Hugo 2 = niiiiice extended, rumble and punchy basslines
(Coming from a neutral tuning, it‘s not bass head quantity but the quality is great)

If you search, there was a UK audio shop that still had those pads in stock as of a couple of weeks ago, and they shipped internationally.
About $ 125 USD with shipping and VAT, I think. I considered getting a pair myself as backups for my Stellia pads, or to try with the Elear as well as an experiment.
Since I've got the focal clear, I'm good. Barely on head fi anymore.
It's been an interesting journey the past year, i've been so close to buying high end pieces like the Abyss Diana V2, or Stellia, or Empyrean, all things I've demoed.
But the Focal Clear are so insanely good, I don't see a need to go for anything else. Pop these on a Chord Hugo and you're set i reckon.

Even a simple setup that I'm using, Modi multibit, Asgard 3, and Audiolab 6000CDT transport, with my Focal Clear Pro headphones has taken care of my upgrade bug. I plan on buying a Bifrost 2 but there's no hurry.

The OG clears were my first headphones that was dynamic you can make out the pitch black back ground all while giving u that 180 degree soundstage, it was intimate while treble is almost too sibliant for some it never had a issue with it. I can tell it was trying to give me all the information it can. Sometimes I browse the classified section looking for a sweet deal on a 2nd hand OG clear to compliment my Lcd-4.
In my opinion the clears are the best mid Fi headphones I would choose them over the Arya's V2 and Stealth only because you can buy the clears cheaper and the stealth kinda sounds like a Clear now for more money lol.
I agree I think if I was to stop at the clear and not listened to any other TotL HP I would have been happy but unfortunately there is no such thing as a end game
I have cans that cost more but the Focal's sound much better to me. They sound good, look good, fit well, the build quality is good.
Overall, they ooze "quality" Have never been happier with a pair of full sized cans than my Focals'....
