Hi everyone! It’s been a while since I’ve been on here so let me know if my price target here is way far off. I’m happy to ship worldwide if the buyer pays for shipping. I can cover US.

I bought these from the first set of available cans in the US when Tyll gave them a rave review before he retired. It’s been a while!

I haven’t worn them in the past couple of years since I went to speakers during the pandemic.

The pads are a little discolored where the ink rubbed off on my face I guess? Shame on Focal for producing a light-colored headphone I guess, though they are quite beautiful. I tried to capture it as best as I could with the pictures. Obviously no coloration of the sound! 😹

Includes all accessories that they came with - all 3 cables, carrying case, and adapter (though the adapter isn’t in the photos)

These are the original Clears - I understand that they’ve come out with several worse-sounding successors in the past couple years.

Cheers
Ribos

To be honest, I actually prefer the headphones with the Clear pads. The clamp is a bit tighter with the original pads, which aren't as squishy as the Utopia ones, and I also found the treble to be a little peaky / unrefined with the Utopia pads. Once you go back to the Clear pads, it regains the "correct tonality" smooth / mid-centric and kind of punchy signature that they're so esteemed for.
