Brief report: detailed, comfortable, clear highs, gorgeous midrange, fast bass. Great portable closed headphone. I run mine balanced from my Sony NW-WM1A.
They come with a bag, which you can see the edge of in the photo below, not a hard shell case. But I had a GoCase that fits them perfectly (although I have to put something between the earpieces so they don't touch). I have an AT upgraded balanced cable that fits in that little compartment .
The new AT cans are all coming with their proprietary A2DC connectors. It's difficult to find custom cable makers who carry that connector. AT does offer several cables with various source connectors. The WP-900 comes with two vinyl-clad thin cables, one with a 3.5mm plug and the other with a 4.4mm balanced Pentaconn connector. I bought a different AT balanced cable, OCC wire, thicker, and with a fabric wrap.
No idea, because that's not what I listen to. But the Clears are wonderful with everything (and twice the price of the WP900, plus not really portable).

I decided to give the WP900 a go and ordered, actually the Clears are on special for same price as WP900 here in Straya, but still couldn't resist the woody allure of the AT's!
The same price?!?! Either the ATs are overpriced significantly or the Focal are a steal. In the US, the Focal are about $1200-1500 and the ATs are about $650. The ATs are quite good closed portables, IMHO, but the Focal are superb open headphones only exceeded by a few much more expensive cans.
