It's still relatively modular, however it uses yet another driver design. That one is screwed onto the plastic part where the pads clip into, and the port daughter board is directly soldered to the driver unit instead of using a pin system. The magnet is also screwed to the driver unit, so in a...

Unfortunate then, I'll reach out to Focal directly. At least we now know the design is different from the Bathys and the driver is modular, so that wasn't for nothing. It's very cool until you remember that Focal doesn't sell their drivers separately, then it just becomes cool. Focal are...

Yes. Again, not compatible with the bigger drivers, but if one of yours were to die, salvaging one from another pair would be as simple as removing 4 screws. Still no Beryllium Azurys/Hadenys possible :c

I hope it helps answer this question. Lookin' very cool inside, still using a modular driver design (not compatible with the bigger drivers). Nice to see the triangles back too.

Sale in progress :beyersmile:

Fully redid my listing to make it clearer and also give out all the necessary infos for potential buyers (trading will still have to be discussed in PM)! :beyersmile: Customs couldn't be included in the final price as it heavily depends on the country and place, they will be left up to the...

Plastic. In any case, I decided to give the Bathys a second chance and compare them to the Azurys. It's not even close, the Azurys is so much better, it still baffles me how everyone loves the Bathys when it's this bad sound wise. The Azurys sounds miles better. Technically-wise it's not even...

Tempted to give them a second chance and compare them to the Azurys, that Dune color still looks beautiful... I'll reach out again whenever my current pair gets sold, gotta be reasonable heh! GLWS!

You need to pull them, I'd recommend grabbing them from the back with your fingers pushing from inside, they should come off relatively easily. Note that clipping them back on is a bit more annoying however.

I did an AB swap between the Azurys and the Stellia next to a fan and yeah it doesn't isolate nearly as much, the fan was quite audible while wearing the Azurys. Wearing them truly feels like you're wearing nothing, be it weight or isolation. However I mostly think it's due to the pads, as the...

I forgot to mention it mostly because it's quite unimpressive, soundstage is smaller than the bigger Focals which aren't really known for being wide themselves. Feels like a closed-back for sure. Imaging seems decent, instruments are well separated from what I've heard and placement seemed...

I'm personally gonna run my Azurys with a BTR15 to get a Bathys equivalent without DSP (and ANC but that's a worthy compromise for a unrestricted driver and therefore better sound). Will be curious to see your comparison! Regarding your question, that's unfortunately not possible. While they...

Received my pair today, so far I'm quite pleased! First impressions: - Insanely light! They dissapear when worn, truly impressive! It does make them feel cheaper to the touch but that's okay. - Materials are fine. This new fabric feels slightly rough when handled, and I don't like how it...

They do, I find them to sound closer to a Radiance overall, while keeping the key features of the Stellia which is the insane technical abilities. The main selling point is the bass tho, it's quite unique to this set and is the best I've heard so far. Thank you! I do, but they're not really...

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 from 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...

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!

PM'd

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...
