Focal For Bentley Radiance Headphones

Focal headphone p
I was just quoted $480.00 AUD for replacement ear pads for this headphone!! What!!

How are the Dekoni Limited's for Stellia with the Radiance as no way I'm paying that. Focal are taking the piss out of all of us. I'm so disappointed and frustrated at this because I really love the sound signature with the stock pads.

How quickly do they start to wear out??

Cheers.
Focal ear pads are known to be extremely expensive, but that price just took it to a whole new level.

Maybe I shouldn’t fight an uphill battle but to be honest, you aren’t reading with the intent of understanding what other people are trying to convey.

You started by publicly calling out someone on their (in your opinion) overpriced listing.

When they actually ask you to backup your claims( heavily overpriced), you responded with a bit of “Not-my-problem-attitude”.
I hope you somehow understand that if you make such claims, you should back them up.
Else you are just picking a fight for no reason.

Then you go on and claim Focal Stellia can be bought new for 2000 euro easily nowadays.
Based on a few quick searches that generally doesn’t seem to be the case yet.
Maybe 2400 is an option during some sales.
To reach 2000 or below, it looks to me like you need to calculate without VAT which is exactly the point I raised.
To which you basically decided to post a weird flex and in doing so, completely ignoring my point / feedback.

It depends how much you wear the headphone, how much you perspire, the chemical composition of your perspiration, whether you clean the earpads after use. In other words, it can vary greatly.
I'm going to have to sit in front of an air conditioner at 16 degrees celsius!! Looks like the Dekoni Focal Custom is the go with these from what I have read over the last few hours.

Got these for a great price new - 659 USD. Supposedly B stock but they were sealed. Perhaps that price is to allow for OEM Pads!!

This guy smokes some heavy s**t. He wrote that my price for a new Radiance which was 750e was too high. He "saw" a new selling for 699e. He mistook Celestee for the Radiance probably. Then he eddited his crappy post today.
Dont know were such people come from.
My Radiance has sold in one day.

So mature! It’s pretty sad but you can’t reason with idiots because they will bring you down to their level and beat you with experience.
here is more :o2smile: 2BIG4U !

here is more :o2smile: 2BIG4U !

Bad news 4U....




Plus, this thread is about the Focal Radiance, if you have some sense, just respect that.
You have probably a thread on HeadFi 4U to flex your collection. No hard feelings and lets keep a non-toxic envirionment here.
Cumprimentos.

Ordered a ‘B Stock’ pair today, couldn’t resist for the price! Was tossing up between these and the Bathys, figured these were the better option given the deep discount.
