I stand corrected then, that's even better!

IIRC only the drivers are made in France on those, the chassis itself is made in China and they're assembled over there, which is why they're not labelled "Made in France" unlike the others. Could've changed with those new releases but at least that's how it worked with the Bathys and they all...

Quite interested in the Azurys for travel purposes. The Bathys was quite disappointing in that regard, the DSP wasn't great and it felt like it restricted the driver's potential too much. With a good BT amp DAC this could become killer for sure, I also really dig the color scheme! As for the...

Selling my pair of Focal Stelliance. This specific unit was made by myself and seems to be the first one being sold in Europe. It combines the superior chassis of the Radiance with the Stellia's insane Beryllium drivers to create the ultimate Focal closed-back! I used a brand-new Radiance and...

PM'd just in case :)

Very kind seller, answered all of my questions quickly and provided all the necessary informations. Shipped quickly and product was as advertised, very good overall experience. Highly recommended!

Interesting, thanks for testing! For me the song crackles way more than when I was listening to it on my Stellia or XM3. It's not too troublesome since it's so loud anyway, but I may still try to swap it just to confirm if it's supposed to happen or not. Thanks again! :thumbsup:

The easiest song to make it do this is probably Ephemeral by Geoxor, but like I said it happens on pretty much all bassy songs.

Oh I'm aware that it's too loud, it's just that I find it weird it happens at all when that wasn't an issue on any ANC pair of headphones nor any Focal pairs I've owned. Any EDM song with deep rumbling bass does it for me. I've also tested on songs with high highs and it happened too, albeit to...

Received my pair today and I must say I'm quite impressed, they're really great! However, I've noticed that when listening to bass heavy music over 70% volume the Bathys can't keep up and starts to crackle? I suppose it's due to the sensible mics but I've never heard this on any other pair of...

Oh I wasn't specifically aiming this at ya! I was just pointing out that the hardware can handle it, it's just a matter of tuning and well, liking EQ or not. :)

Agreed, well at least with the stock sound signature. You can certainly make the Z1R sound quite fun with a bit of EQ.

Quite the interesting journey indeed! I should've been more specific but I did not start mine with the Stellia. I started with the Elegia and I upgraded as time went on, until reaching the Stellia (and now the Z1R). I've had the pleasure to listen to the Elegia, the Elex, the Clear MG, the...

Well, I mainly wanted to try something else as I've only owned Focals since the start of my journey. I'm also a huge basshead, I was running my Stellia using a FiiO Q3 with bass boost on (Which is like a 6dB boost on the low end), and it was starting to show the limits of their driver design...

Having recently done the switch from the Stellia to the Z1R, I can already tell you that when it comes to bass, the Z1R won't be what you're looking for unless you're willing to EQ. Even then, it won't be as punchy as the Stellia due to how different their drivers are designed and work. I'm...

I'd like to participate in the Europe tour. I agree to the terms and conditions. It would be a pleasure to compare them to my Stellia, both are gorgeous headphones. :) I'll also leave a review on Reddit and all of the forums I'm part of. It's always really fun to write them!

...is supposedly incredibly comfortable. 6 - Sennheiser: I had to add them, obviously. One of the most well-known headphones company, their HD6** is legendary, and I also consider the HD800(s) to be a legend too. Like Stax, I'd love to get my hands on the HD800(s). 7 - Hifiman: Their lineup is...

I may not agree with all of their beliefs, but Abyss is still quite interesting, and I'm curious to see what they'll come out with.

Mine are in a similar shape and do feel slightly rugged under my finger. You really have to look closely to notice it. Here's a picture, no microscope though. :dt880smile:

Right now I'm at 10 and I'm still finding more. :smile:

All of them are quite good, and they (mostly) all share the Focal sound signature with some tweaks here and there: Mid-Neutral with a very dynamic low-end, "metallic" treble, and a narrow soundstage. I'll do a quick summary of their lineup, however note that this is written by one user only...

I'd like to buy a pair of genuine Focal Stellia pads (Not the Dekoni ones). Either brand new or used/great condition. Smoke-free home. EU preferred. (Please contact me even if from overseas.) Willing to trade with a pair of genuine Focal Utopia pads. I've cleaned them recently and they're in...

Hey! Recently got myself a beautiful pair of Stellia's and I'm really enjoying them. My specific pair is already well known here as it had quite the adventure regarding the headband's unwanted discoloration, but I'd have to take some pictures to show how they aged since, they really look...
