I wouldn't say warmer. Just a more balanced/neutral presentation . Damn I miss the 1990, haven't heard those in a whileThat sounds like the Elegia with the Deknoni Sheepskin. However, there is that bass dip on the Elegia. It does not bother me, bothers others a lot. I rarely notice anything unusual, though I now use the Sheepskin all the time which might be the reason. I find the Elegia to be a very clear headphone with a lot of detail, which I love. The closed back is a benefit to me, I appreciate blocking out the noises around me. Edit: I should add that they are warmer then the 1990, but not a warm headphone.
Just gonna say it.... That's a F@$king BARGAIN!!!! I sold my Elegia and now seeing this makes me want to buy them again .Okay. Any of you guys have been on the fence about Elegia, the Adorama deal is back. Only now they have dropped the price to $399.
Go to Slickdeals and search for Elegia to get the promotional link that gives you the price.
The Elegia are a great great great closed back. But will say it, the Ananda is 1 level higher. You get that extra separation and soundstage. I was very close to going for the Ananda but ended up going for the Ultrasone Edition 11. I am mind blown . But after selling the Elegia a few days ago. I swear, it feels like a ghost of them is on my headphone stand calling me to get them back... I miss the Elegia heaps.I just ordered these last night for $399. Hoping I like these better then my Beyer T1.2's and can sell them to make my money back. I am trying to find a Vocal/Soundstage/Detail headphone for under $700-$800 and while I wasn't looking for a closed back, I shall see how it sounds before I judge Hopeful. I was close to just pulling the trigger on the recent iBasso SR2 and maybe the Hifiman Ananda, but this deal is too good to pass up trying them.
Finding it really hard to find something to compliment my LCD2 Classics and not pay more than them. Oof.
Would you go for a Dyson Audio cable? They make really nice cables for a decently low priceI'm keen on getting a better cable for mine. Still looking at options but just sure dropping $200+ (AUD) on a cable is going to make THAT much of a difference.
Keen to hear a silver cable though...I would like to hear those characteristics for sure.
I was looking at the Forza Audioworks Claire hybrid but yeah might try a cheaper silver vers first maybe.

Focal Elegia, weak bass and recessed highs. What's not to like?
My old Lawton Denon AH-D5000's just destroyed the Elegia. Just got the AH-D7200 and it smokes them both. I kept the Elegia for three days before I sold it.I agree. I’ll be returning mine. I was going to pass along the deal I got, but now they’re even less on Adorama.
The Elegia isn't so bad, really. It has a decent level of technical prowess. Despite my penchant for boosted bass, I found the lows on the Elegia to be satisfactory; it helps that I knew what I was getting into when I purchased the Focal. I'm actually enjoying my time with the Elegia.My old Lawton Denon AH-D5000's just destroyed the Elegia. Just got the AH-D7200 and it smokes them both.

Agreed, they are not bad at all even at the regular price. They definitely are more lively than the D7200's with its subdued treble. That's the reason I sold my D7200's. The Elegia have much better dynamic than those as well. Equip the Elegia's with a silver cable and you fix most of its problem areas.The Elegia isn't so bad, really.
