Too many models in a small price window muddies the waters. I wonder if they will hold the price point or jump around as they have done previously with the Utopia, Stellia and Elear. In my opinion that hurts buyers and makes one wonder if Focal understands what it feels like to pay $4000 for a TOTL headphone to then see Focal decide at a point to sell them for $1000 less than the buyer paid. Their second hand value plummets for as long as that is the case.

And I would think a very unhappy customer. Just my thoughts as I have seen several friends that had that happen to them. Fortunately for me it was the mistake to jump in early & buy the Elear at $999, now they might fetch $500 and a loss for me wanting to get them at the beginning. I rather spend my hard earned money on something that holds it’s value.

I like the looks of the Pro version in red and black. Those with a braided black and red cable would be gorgeous.
