Focal Utopia General Discussion

I looked these up earlier today, their apparently the holy grail, be all and end all of headphones. Really looking forward to trying a pair of these out.


Just got mine today after trying them at CamJam last weekend, and I am a very happy camper right now.

  I don't know if they are the be all and end all, but to me they are a (realistic) dream come true.  I'm sure that the $50k setup from Sennheiser is amazing, but it is not something I'd be able to afford now or in the foreseeable future.  The Utopias are definitely a splurge, but I should still be able to pay the mortgage.

I will say that I thought I had some excellent headphones before and I still think that some of them are for their price range, but the Utopias are in another class.  The difference was immediately noticeable, even to my husband who has a high frequency hearing loss and a significant loss in one ear due to a sarcoma.
 
Thanks to @TSAVJason for the advice, and for getting these to me in time for the weekend!

  Wow, that is awesome!!!!  Thank you so much!!!! 
 
I am glad I had a couple of cocktails and thus the courage to totally interrupt the conversation you guys were having...... I think I scared poor Warren:  "HI!  WHAT KIND OF HEADPHONES DO YOU HAVE?  DO YOU LIKE THEM?  I AM LOOKING FOR HEADPHONES!  WHAT SHOULD I BUY?"
