Depends, if it happens at random when the headphones are already connected, it could be home appliances turning on/off and polluting your mains. If it happens only when plugging in/out headphones, then it's something else, probably the RNHP being faulty, or if it happens with other amps too, then something else is causing the DC offset.

Just stumbled upon an album in Tidal that kind of blew me away...
Focal Clear + chord Hugo 2 just made me forget everything around me, sucked me into the music and took me to good places.
The flute sounds really magical, the low frequency pipe-drums (?) are incredibly defined and have great weight, and the high frequency percussion (no idea what it is or how to call it) is detailed, has presence but is not overly sharp.
Beautiful.....

I wish more people would post music that they're listening to in this thread. We did it all the time in the Lyr tube rolling thread. Really helps expand on selection and get a feel of what others are listening to.
Thanks for the post!

Hi,

It looks way too tight from the photo on ebay. O would also fear about the scratches from the zipper right on the plastic with Focal logo. I've been using this one instead:

It was quite ok with it till I FINALLY found this solution which is far superior IMO to anything posted here. (Including my previous posts). I'm not quite sure why it wasn't discussed at all here but Dekoni Audio Nuggets are truly incredible with Clears and I guess with any other Focal can. The comfort level is way better than any suspension straps, headband covers etc. They also look like nice and feel super soft and cushy.

Ebay seller from Poland (one of their official distributors in Europe):
https://www.ebay.com/itm/DEKONI-AUD...e=STRK:MEBIDX:IT&_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649

Pretty great price + 50 zlotý for shipment including tracking. He also have all of Dekoni's pads for Focal headphones. I've got some velour Elite too.

If you wonder about disadvantages...
This is not ideal sollution for those who are using Focal carrying case often as with these on the headband obviously won't fit in and with the tape used you can apply it about 2 times till it's pretty much useless. You must take them off. However, when used permanently you should be ok for a long time. I have mine constantly on for 2 months straight still holding in place without any damage to the headband material. (I took them off just to be sure) I contacted Dekoni directly and they confirmed the tape used is VHB 5608A in case you want to replace it over time. You are from CZ so you can buy one here like me as replacement (btw I already tried to replace the tape and it works nicely).

Hope this helps. Below are some images with nuggets on, packaging...

Thanks @semtexxl for advice, I will definitely try it!

Also, please can any metal head confirm me if this is well mastered or no? I have my Clears in servis (clipping issue) so I cant listen to it now :/ Im looking forward to do it tho, hoping it sounds realy good.. https://tidal.com/track/124571208

Thanks!

Also - at servis (not dealer) they told me the clipping is caused by AMP. What a joke. I sent them some more songs that clips and hope they will admit its defective.
For example this song in attachment:

Anyone interested in a pair of Focal Clear Professionals? I’ve only had them for a month and a half so they’re still in great shape.

 

[sigi]

please help me out guys ... I am contemplating purchasing the Focal Clear... but have doubts regarding Focal quality. (bad experience: Focale Spear, Focal Spirit Pro, Focal Shape 50 speaker, Focal Elegia - all disapointments and really poor quality)
Did Focal up their game with the Clear in terms of build quality and reliability?

Has anyone here used Clears for lets say three years without any quality issues?

Would really appreciate some answers.

(I would use it as a tool in the studio, long term reliability is important to me)

Hmm,given that Focal advertiese these for music creators, do you guys think the current Clear will be better for pure entertainment consumption like music/gaming etc?

But I must say that the headband looks far more comfortable than the current Clear.

The colour is a big nogo for me too. The silver clears are far more beautiful

Thanks for sharing!
Hmmmm... I hear faster, punchier and more extension on both ends of the spectrum?
Makes me think of Utopia. I'm really wondering how the Clear MG slots in between the regular Clear and the Utopia.

Looking forward to hearing those 3 back to back. In the meantime I am enjoying my regular Clear Pro.
I exchanged the silver/grey regular Clear for a Pro model, mainly for the extra pads and the better resistance against discoloration, but I really like the colors as well.
IRL the red is much more subdued and darker, more of a bordeaux tone.
The headband looks identical to me, and that's fine since I find it very comfortable and can wear the Clears for hours without discomfort.

 

[JimmyJohns99]

If red is the only color then that tells me this is just meant to be a separate product from the consumer clear, rather than an improved clear

That's weird, OTL amps have high impedance correct?
