Can't see myself ever parting with my OG Clear tbh. They're the ultimate all-rounder. Listening through my new Burson Soloist GT and the soundstage is actually pretty spacious now too.

How do they sound? I know it’s difficult to get the same sound though.

Does any of the new focals fix the headband snapping in half problem?

 

[User650]

Anyone know if the new*

Theres an easy fix for that...

You could try not snapping it half?

Lmao, a friend of mine just put it on his head and it snapped in half, Focal wouldn't help him even though it was in warranty so when that happened I decided not to ever get anything by Focal until they fix the headband and actually make it out of metal not plastic

This is the first time I've heard of this kind of problem. He might have just received a damaged unit, its not the sturdiest headphone I've had but I would imagine it would be quite difficult to snap it half.

I doubt they'd make the headband out of metal as it already is quite heavy.

So he brought a brand new headphone, the headband snapped for no reason and Focal won't fix it?
Sounds pretty fishy to me.

Yup I was there Lol. I looked it up online and seems some others had the same issue. He has it for a almost a year at the time but still its too expensive for that too happen. Plastic is a bad material for a headband and shouldn't be used at this price imo

Most headphones at these prices have metal headbands, aluminum and magnesium aren't very heavy.

So, you are saying that Focal would not fix or replace it? Did he buy new?

Lots of headphones use plastic for the headband. If you don't like it, don't buy it. Metal is heavy.

Pretty much how I view them. Wonderfully coherent, and scale well.

I'm planning to swap the clear XLR cable male into 2.5mm..

Is it possible to disassembly it without damaging/cutting the wire to be shorter?

And is it reversible if someday I want to re assembly the XLR again? Thank you...

Hi, where you got the headband from? Any china e-commerce link like AliExpress or something? Thanks.
