Focal Stellia Review, Measurements, Interview - Head-Fi TV
Jul 22, 2019 at 9:21 AM Post #842 of 4,499
I'm curious if there is a closed back headphone that I will love as much as the Stellia that costs a lot less. I don't have a lot of experience with headphones but these just keep me smiling all the time. I keep hearing how expensive these are but I don't hear about other headphones that do what these do.

Highly efficient, closed back, and sound fantastic. Maybe I'm just missing something.

Yep, it's called Elegia. :wink:

Haha, he likes warmer signatures dude. Which is the main differences between Stellia and Utopia.

I didn't spend much time with the clears, when it came out, i've already owned The Utopia. Another open back Focal will be pointless, but i tried it a couple times.

The clear also his different flavor to The Utopia, if you like it, go for it man.
I don't find the Stellia to have a warm signature at all. Maybe if you A/B compare it, it might be warmer, but in my opinion it is a forward-mid headphone.

So I have a problem, I travel a fair amount and have used my Sony WH-1000MX3s for that purpose. Since I got the Stellias I find them absolutely unlistenable. Like its torture to use them. Think it would be crazy to use the Stellias on an airplane and travel with them?

You’d be crazy NOT to! I love flying with my Stellia.

Not at all. They fit in my backpack just fine in their case. Certainly not as portable as IEMs or foldable noise cancelling cans, but I think it’s worth traveling with for sure.

I may need to bring them on my next trip. I just spend hours in a datacenter when I travel so I usually use the Sonys without any music just to drown out the sound, so I'll be traveling with both! I hope I don't look like a dork with these big cans on in the airport. LOL.
