Focal Utopia 2022 Review, Measurements

​

Six years ago, Focal redefined the high end of the dynamic headphone world with the Focal Utopia. Today, Focal is finally releasing its successor, the Focal Utopia 2022. In this video, we literally take a look inside the new Focal Utopia 2022, subject it to electroshock treatment, provide subjective impressions and comparisons, and show you measurements (and measurement comparisons).

The headphone measurements in this video were made in our measurement lab at Head-Fi HQ using the following equipment:

---

• Brüel & Kjær High-frequency Head and Torso Simulator (HATS) Type 5128
• GRAS 45CA Headphone Test Fixture with GRAS RA0403 Hi-Res Ear Simulator
• Audio Precision APx555 Audio Analyzer
• Audio Precision APx1701 Transducer Test Interface
• Benchmark HPA4 Headphone Amplifier
• Herzan custom-designed acoustic & vibration isolation enclosure

This guy is gonna lose his marbles again with the new Utopias and their pricing.

 

[BLacklWf]

What's an introduction/review without the price? Is everyone ashamed of its price or something? Except for a very few people, the price definitely matters. The performance to price ratio is the key to a good majority of people.
