    Hey Everyone, I am selling my Focal Clear headphones. These headphones have had very limited use, ~1 year old <50 hrs of total usage. I can't see any form of wear or damage to the headphones. I have the original box and accessories. Selling because they simply are not getting used enough to...

    AEON, MrSpeakers' New Closed Back Planar Magnetic Headphone

    Hey Guys, I don't listen very loud, reasonable ~70-85 dB. The sensitivity of this headphone and impedance would suggest that I could achieve this pretty easily w/o a headphone jack on my iphone and macbook, but Tyll mentioned it was a bit inefficient w/o an amp. Has anyone had problems...

    Focal Utopia General Discussion

    I'm surprised there isn't more outrage over the discrepancies in measured Utopia's. It seems w/ the exception of Tyll's and Jude's first review pairs all subsequent Utopia's are flawed. It would be reassuring if people who feel they have one of the non bright variants could get their...

    Focal Utopia General Discussion

    Yea but Bob Katz's defected pair almost perfectly matches the 3rd pair sent to Tyll. Odds that both were dropped and coincidentally damaged or defunct is unlikely. Something has to have changed in the manufacturing, because Jude's initial measurements match w/ Tyll's initial measurements...

    Focal Utopia General Discussion

    Have yall seen the latest post on innerfidelity by bob katz? Just curious what everyone's opinion is. I found it pretty eye opening and partially upsetting. I don't even own a Utopia, but I fear my Elear may suffer the same problems. I still like the way my headphones sound, but disheartening...

    Focal Utopia General Discussion

    I just got my custom Elear cable from a company, https://customcans.co.uk/   I haven't heard many people using them to get their balanced or shorter cables.  It took almost a month to get the cable from europe, but I am pretty pleased w/ the craftsmanship esp considering they're so cheap.  The...

    Focal Utopia General Discussion

    Has anyone used an air duster on their Elear or Utopia?   Wondering if over time dust is going to impair headphone performance and the best way to clean the headphones.

    Speakers In Use With Schiit Ragnarok

    The Ragnarok w/ my previously owned Magnepan Mini's were driven pretty well, sensitivity 87 db.  Not as good as my A21, but better than peachtree nova 125 and parasound a23 i'd say.

    I got kicked out of Stereo Exchange

      Have you ever interacted with Ann Wasserman?  She wanted me to put a down payment on a pair of HE1000s before listening to the HE1000 prototype (that Fang had invited us to audition) before it was released to the public or even a price was announced.  Ridiculous!   She is awful and not the...

    I got kicked out of Stereo Exchange

    Most of the sales people are very friendly.  Truthfully its just the store owner's wife.  If she was there when you were listening, I guarantee she would have kicked you out after giving a little lip.
