Is this one within your preferred price bracket Nomax?

I'd guess it will be the open back price/tier counterpart of the Celestee.

Initial measurements from Andrew posted to the headphones.com forums:

So it is tuned like the Apple AirPods Max? A V-shaped headphone with rolled-off treble?

The Celestee is not totally Mg...its a 80/20 Aluminum/Magnesium Alloy.....

Do we know what the headband is made of on the Celestee? I am interested in getting it but have found reports of Elegia and Clear’s plastic headbands snapping and that makes me very nervous.

I'm not sure, but the official product video from Focal does make a point of saying that they avoid using plastic , so hopefully a good sign...

Im a bit of a Focal fanboy So Im always excited to see new model launches from Focal. Ive owned quite a few Focal headphones over the last few years. I started with the Clear, Utopia, Elear, Elegia, Stellia, Elegia again, now replaced with the Radiance.

Both the sneak peak pictures look promising. Can't wait to see what's in the pipeline.If anyone knows anything more please feel free to PM

actually I think Celeste is French and means Celestial in english and actually is
pronounced (S sound for 'C') Ca LEST - the E in Celeste is silent- 4 years of French drilled that into me
so I have no idea what they were thinking by making it a Spanish word meaning light blue when it's really dark blue and sounds like CE LESTE-E which is re-donk-u-lous

Yeah, I have been confused by this from the start for the same reason....and somehow she got me even more confused in the video by saying that is how it is pronounced in french... since it isn't.


Anyways, hopefully I'll try it soon!

Wonder how these Clear MG will sound, they look pretty similar to the current model already, other than the hexagonal vents.

Looks like the page got taken down. Unsure if the price is accurate or just a placeholder. Focal's spec sheet for the Clear MGs make them sound like the Clears but with greater soundstage and imaging.
