I’m not saying 10 steps better, I’m discussing the perspective at a concert. They are all great headphones, some people like to sit in the first row (Utopia), some the 10th (Clear), then some prefer sitting further back with a wider, somewhat softer, less precise imaging. So, again I’m not saying “better” just different flavors.

My hearing is not so good now, so I had to move to 2nd row with my Clear ... ...

I'm sending my Clears back soon, and upgrading to the Utopia. I kind of want that in your face sound the Utopia will provide, due to the fact I need stuff loud. The Clear is awesome, it really is. But with my Rap music, I can't play as loud as I want because of that little crackle noise I get once in a while.

That's just with rap music and a very small amount of Trance/Techno. Rock and other genres rock on the Clear, I'm just hard to please for a long time without finding something that is bothering me and moving onto something new. I have to be Bi-polar awesome or something.

I found myself turning the volume down often with the Utopias. The Clear is rarely fatiguing thus high volumes are fun.

Tyll says his review is up by Sunday. Aeon Flow Open effectively eliminated my desire moving toward more expensive gears. But I am eager to see his comparisons among clear, aeon flow open, lcd2c, and others.

Can't wait to read it! Been quite a lot of nice headphones out as of late.

[...] ... I finally decided for a whole in one package Questyle CMA400i - a decision I would like not to regret... receiving it next week.

Amazing combo this Dac/Amp does with Focal Clear balanced! Damned good!

Tyll’s review is up and it’s a rave.

Tyll’s review sums up nicely the comparison between the utopia and the clear for me. People who love the Utopia are lucky, I found it fatiguing but the Clear rarely come off my head unless I don’t have a choice

Same, I was hoping the Clears would hit the sweet spot and it seems like they did, Sold. Ordering mine soon.

Here’s the Link to Tyll’s review, happy to report its a rave, now to see who “the casualties” will be on the Wall of Fame,

I know on my personal WOF, the Clear knocked of the HD800, and probably my beloved LCD-3f...

Tyll's review is up and it's a rip-snortin, rootin-tootin, 'oh my God these are so good' rave. And I agree with him 100%.

 

[ribosradagast]

Oh yeah that's a rave for sure. Gonna start shopping around to find these at a good price!

Me too, I knew these were special.
