ah thanks, been looking for a comparison and you just gave it. an out for me also then.No. Far from it. Hardly any bass and I wasn’t satisfied with it. The Clear and Stellia have more solid punch. These weren’t for me. I’ll wait for the Celestee to arrive when they do. But so far, the best closed backs are the Sony MDR-Z1R and open back are the Focal Clear. The mids on the Radiance come out more and the highs and bass feel more recessed. Still not quite studio monitoring, but I’m sure there are people who like their sound. If no Celestee, the Clear will be the only Focal cans I own for years to come. At least I say money, which is always a plus in today’s economy
if that box is a tank, then MDR Z1R's box is The MAUS.The box that houses the Focal Radiance is a TANK.
You could break stones with it....
The revised "consumer" version will probably have a less spectacular box, but i'll still cost the same and it'll be painted a different color.
I hope, for the sake of all who waited, that they dont change the design of the outer shell, as its really pretty.
