I like the sound of that!

So do I

It's all in the detail. The focal bass has slam extension, the Empyrean offers up low level bass with texture and decay.



Yes the Empyrean is less bright than the Utopia. If a HD800 had babies with an LCD4 they would call it Empyrean.

Nicely put Phil

I don't even know why I'm asking for anymore impressions. My mind is pretty madeup on these being my new cans.

It all sounds wonderful to me.

We’re definitely a minority. Most people would scoff at paying $300 for headphones. When you say $3000, they immediately look for a hidden camera because they’re sure they’re being punked.

Lol imagine when i told them my old Utopias were worth $4k when they released. Stunned until they heard them, then they understood my madness.

I get the same from my family and friends. They’re like, “For $3000 you can buy a decent used car. Why would you pay that for headphones?”

But you know what? I know people that spend more than that every month on golf. All I can say is, we like what we like. I love music and I love zoning out with a great pair of headphones that not only make music sound better, but they transport me to another world for a while. A world where you swear you’re only going to listen for 20 minutes and then you look up at the clock and realize 3 hours have passed.

It is a madness! But it’s a beautiful madness.
