    Sorry for the slow update: The headband just broke when I put them on, and I had never dropped them or worn them on one ear or anything like that. There is a plastic piece between the actual frame in the headband and the sliding metal parts that hold the ear cups which broke. My head is slightly...

    Final update: No more updates from the US rep either who thought he could get the matter in front of the right person. No replies received either from him the last couple of kindly phrased pings, so I am giving up on this matter now. The fact that a number of others have reported similar issues...

    They surprisingly also stated it could not be repaired, so I am essentially with zero support from the company. I have received a ton of feedback from ppl here and in that other forum (which I am unsure if I can mention the name of openly) I also posted about this, and so far it is all ppl who...

    Focal Elegia - what do you think?

    I did not get a better explanation than what was shared, sadly. I have had Focal NA reach out to me as I am also active on other forums (not sure I am allowed to post where), so I really hope I just got shafted in terms of who was assigned to take care of me first time. I understand that things...

    Review by 'Trasselkalle' on item 'Focal Elegia'

    While working, I was very happy with the Elegia headphones to complement my home studio monitors and for late night listening. Sadly, the plastic frame of the headband broke a couple of weeks ago, making the headphones unusable. For me, they have been my closed back headphone pick and they have...

    CanJam Shanghai 2019 Impressions Thread (November 9-10, 2019)

    Cheers for that and good to hear what aspects have the pp8 ahead still. They are the type of criteria I am highly partial to as well. Roger that on the possible Stark or Blade. Price also hints to Stark but very strange they had them in a Blade stand.

    Are you sure you didn't listen to the Stark? That would match the price better and also is their TOTL hybrid. The Blade is a 3 driver IEM while the Stark is a 5 driver, both with DD as bass driver and rest BA. For sure interesting to hear how you liked them compared with the PP8! Any more...

    If you still love Etymotic ER4, this is the thread for you...

    I only briefly listened to them, so not a great test. However, the Inear ProPhile-8 is the one that I am personally hoping to listen more to. That could well be the next step up, but I tend to take my time with this so we shall see if I actually pull the trigger on them at any point. And yeah...

    I have the 4PT, i.e can make the P into an S as the cable is in that kit. Any way other than EQ to make it into a B? I use them when on the move, hence not feasible to EQ well. Mostly just curious, as I am happy with the S otherwise.

    Focal Elegia - what do you think?

    As some (including myself at one point) have been asking about alternative cables for the Elegia, I can heartily recommend the Beyerdynamics cable for their T1/T5 cans that others have been mentioning already. Just got mine and there is a significant difference in microphonics (as in, I don't...

    Focal Elegia - what do you think?

    Is price tag really a good metric for anything? I can list tons of cans that have not even half the value of their price tag to me personally, and even stuff that ppl would have to pay me to listen to! I am positive that many of you would disagree with my list of bad value and absolute crap...

    Astell & Kern ACRO L1000

    @Giraku How are you doing with the L1000? Any comparison chances vs other amps? Someone felt it was very dark sounding vs the Mojo, but others seem to feel differently. It is hard to make sense things atm so any feedback would be good.

    Focal Elegia - what do you think?

    I mean, I can see why... but it is still a bit early for me to marry my Elegia. I'll give my current wife a shot to keep it together until X-mas at least (no new mobile amp and it is over!).

    Focal Elegia - what do you think?

    In terms of cables, a few are using the Beyerdynamics ones (to the T1/T5). I'm waiting for mine to arrive any day now. Two length options and good build quality, plus more flexible and solid connectors, plus supposedly less microphonic. I have no reason to doubt that, though. Never heard anyone...
