Alright fellas, I just bought me a pair of the clears. Count me impressed.

They sound fabulous...

If you want headphones that are great for movies look no further than the Z1R they are incredibly good for that use case!

Thank you. You don’t notice any 3k and 10k peak with ringing? Just asking.

Yes the 10K peak can show its face here and there it doesn’t bother me though and even if it were to bother you more, if your main use case is movies it should be even less apparent.

Have you tried using Focal Clear cable with Sony MDR-Z1R?

I noticed you have Kimber Kable which probably smoothes out treble peaks a bit more. Unfortunately that is a GAZILLION POUNDS in UK for 3to4 meter length.

Not sure if it’s ok to post here, but my Clears are for sale in the for sale section.

Just curious, why are you selling it?

 

[Emmanuel Palmer]

Has any body been able to compare the new aeon flow open 2 vs the clears? I just placed an order for the aeon.

Just don’t use them much. To expensive toy to just sit around.

I don't have the Clears so haven't tried their cable. I think you're referring to the Kimber Axios, whereas I have the Sony/Kimber cable that was $200ish. To be honest I bought it for the aesthetics and because I didn't like how the original cable was 3.5mm with a non-screwing 1/4inch adapter jack - I heard it improved the sound somewhat which was a bonus but I didn't A/B to verify. I'm neutral on the better cable = better sound battle as whilst I believe it quite possible, it's not something I want to explore at this moment in time for my sanity and wallet's sake!

200dollar, that’s ok for me. I need a 4 meter length. Don’t know where to look in UK as Sony doesn’t sell it here.

Wow, these cand are amazing right out of the box. These are the first set I haven't had to eq. I went in to the audioshop in Ottawa on Saturday just to pick up yet another kimber kable, and I saw that they sold focal stuff so I says to the guy, hey guy, can I hear those clears? And that was it. I bought the demo for 500 off. I was on the phone to my wife to ask forgiveness lol.

 

[340519]

The irony is that I do not like focal speakers. I have a full electra ht complement and I've never liked them for music.
I use them strictly for movies with emotiva amps driving them and they are okay. They are far too bright for music. My golden ear triton 1s are perfect in every regard for me. That's why I was shocked at how good the clears sound as they do not have that bright focal house sound, as I understand the utopia does.

Do you want the Clear sound almost as good as the Susvara?
Take a Android phone or Android tablet and download USB AUDIO Player Pro.
Connect the phone using a USB - OTG adapter with a Questyle CMA 12 DAC/AMP.
THE USB AUDIO Player Pro comes with a Parametric EQ.
Change the settings accordingly (you can save and delete all settings, so no harm will be done to the Clear):

section 1:
20Hz Digital bell style Filter, 7dB Gain, Q-factor 2

section 2:
240Hz Analog bell, 2.5dB Gain, Q-factor 1.8

section 3:
720Hz Analog bell, 2.0dB Gain, Q-factor 1.35

section 4:
4200Hz Digital bell, - 1.7dB Gain, Q-factor 2.57


section 5:
8500Hz Digital bell, 3.7dB Gain, Q-factor 2.80

section 6:
12500Hz, Digital bell, 3.4dB Gain, Q-factor 2.45

I hope you will like it.

I'm going to try this for fun. Thanks
