Hey everyone, just purchased a set of Stellia's and enjoying them so far. Just wondering where I am might be able to obtain a suitable headband cover? I am worried about long term damage so keen to protect as much I can. I have some leather cream on order too.

Thanks for the link, that would be perfect but they (oddly) don't seem to ship to Singapore. I can send to the US or UK no problem. I've emailed them but may need an alternative option!
Have any of you tried the stellia with violectric v590 or the burson conductor 3 reference. Im torn if ill get one of this all in one or go for qutest dac and gsx mini amp
Slightly worried about the Focal warranty and how good they might be in the UK. My 3.5mm stock cable went faulty and had been on RMA request since 1st April. It was all approved but was told a month ago they've not got any and they're looking to source one to send me one. Still not received and no contact since.
Sent them another message to bring me front of mind. Hopefully resolved soon...
To those who use the Hugo 2's headphone out with the Focal Stellia are you finding the bass a bit lacking in the sub and upper bass? On most gear I use this headphone with, there's a solid bass emphasis and I can actually feel the impact (as there should be) because that's one of the characteristics of the Stellia, but I'm actually finding myself having to eq it up now (via Equalizer Apo) which is so weird. There are frequency measurements online showing the bass bump too, it's not as high in real world use as the graphs suggest, but it's there. Any explanation as to why I'm experiencing this?
Does anyone here know if the special presets on the Focal Arche apply to the DAC or to the amplifier stage? In other words, if you used it as a DAC and hooked up to a different headphone amp, would the preset you choose matter? Just curious more than anything...
I'm not positive but given that settings such as voltage/current clearly relate to amp behavior, I believe the headphone settings are implemented on the amp side. If that's the case, using an Arche as a DAC won't carry over the presets to a different headphone amp.
I’m seriously considering getting a Stellia in the next months (between them or a Verite Closed, still undecided but leaning towards Stellia). At the moment I’m wondering if my system (or planned upgrades) would have good synergy with them.
I use the Hugo 2 for most of my listening, and am thinking of getting the Auris Euterpe soon. Does anyone have any experience using the Euterpe with the Stellia?

Brief comparison btw the verite closed and the focal stellias:
They’re pretty different headphones actually. Stellias are super incisive, forward, intimate staging but crazy layering, with excellent dynamic punch and more impactful bass than the VCs. VCs are a bit more laid back and open, more easy going while still being pretty punchy, a bit less detailed, mids are more recessed, but it has better treble extension and more 3D staging than the stellias, though they’re not as precise or as good at layering and separation. Both are awesome headphones imo, but the speed, detail and punch of the stellias won me over. Both have good midrange tonality, with the VCs having a slightly more colored but sweet presentation overall, but I prefer the higher bass level of the stellias and the more forward and textured mid range presentation. Treble on stellias is darker than the VCs and they feel less airy as a result, but the stellias more closely align with my preferences overall.
