Anybody can measure Elear with Elex pads, and the Elex, and overlap the graphs, much appreciated.
That should do it. Likewise Elex with Elear pads.Anybody can measure Elear with Elex pads, and the Elex, and overlap the graphs, much appreciated.
Any midrange “suckout” or 10khz peak with the Dekoni pads? If not, they could be the solution to “fixing” the Elear instead of having to buy an Elex just for the pads.Just got pair of Dekoni Elite Hybrid Pads for Focal, testing on my Elex. I am noticing a wider bigger soundstage, on my setup, detail maybe slightly better, bass a little less bloom as well. Comfort better than the stock pads, velour is less itchy/scratchy and softer. Sound is more delicate with them to my ears. They are soft Lambskin leather with velour face, and perforated on the inside surface. Dekoni has a winner here, and much cheaper than Focal Pads.
Can anyone comment on the Dekoni fenestrated sheepskin earpads on the elex, generally? How's the sound and the comfort? I'll totally buy them if they're well reviewed.Just got pair of Dekoni Elite Hybrid Pads for Focal, testing on my Elex.

+1. That goes for fenestrated and non-fenestrated.Can anyone comment on the Dekoni fenestrated sheepskin earpads on the elex, generally? How's the sound and the comfort? I'll totally buy them if they're well reviewed.
Pops & crackling on my first pair too. You're the 3rd person so far besides myself who I've seen with issues.Has anyone noticed any pops when using their Elex? I'll hear some pops every now and then when using my pair. If it matters I'm running a Bifrost Uber and a Mjolnir 1. I've had this set up for a while and never heard pops with my other headphones.

I'm pretty disappointed with Focal tbh. Apparently this issue goes back to the Elear & the Utopia too. I thought they had better QA given their boutique nature but nope...I am having clicking sounds on the left ear cup, appears to me to be a mechanical issue, not in the music but coming from the headphone cup itself.
I contacted support the same day I got them, was dispatched a replacement the next day. They should be here this weekend. If the second pair are broken too I'm getting a refund & looking elsewhere. The Ebay thing is completely out of Massdrop's hands though. I don't know if third party selling is covered under warranty but I'll read the manual & find out.Has anyone contacted Massdrop about this? I contacted the seller from Ebay, where I purchased mine and I am having some problems getting this resolved. I requested a return back to the seller.
