Does all that mean you got big ears??So I got my hands on these Stealth as I was interested in it as an office headphone since it is so hyped up.
What a total piece of trash. My ears touch the inside of this headphone like some cheap ass $300 Sony WH-1000XM5 bluetooth headphone. How is this even possible on a $4000 headphone? This is an automatic 1/10.
Now let’s go to the sound. It sounded great at first. Now I could somewhat relate to the hype. But when I grabbed my AFC 2 Noire as a comparison, I came back to earth. The Stealth basically could have been the new $999 AFC 3, as the Stealth simply sounds like an AFC 2 Noire that is tuned more neutral with a bigger soundstage.
I also had the new Focal Utopia 2022 with me, and the Stealth has the exact same weak ass dynamics like all AFC 1, 2 and Noire headphones. It again supports the case that the Stealth could have been released as the AFC 3 as the Stealth sounds like an AFC headphone.
If the cups were large enough so my ears don’t touch the inside of the headphone, maybe I could have considered spending $4000 on an AFC 3?? But with this huge flaw, not a chance.
And lots of money!
