Nomax was right again! I bet he also knows what else is in the pipeline!

Focal Utopia General Discussion | Page 923 | Headphone Reviews and Discussion - Head-Fi.org (head-fi.org)

Of course he knows ... but seems like the next flagship will be in 2022. Good for our wallets

Not sure, I guess the next flagship might still be in the cards for the second half of 2021, but we will see. In the meantime, the Utopia is still a worthy flagship headphone for sure.

Aesthetics looks like a black version of stellia.
Been a stellia owner, I am a little disappointed.
Hope they will come up a new open back flagship in the second half this year.

Why disappointed?

These look pretty!
I’m eagerly awaiting the next TOTL open-back from Focal. Could purcahse Utopia now but worried it will be replaced within a year.

Focal Celestee?

Yeah, I am just a tad skeptical here about the naming of this....especially for a french company. Celeste, sure, but Celestee? It means nothing, and is not an existing word/name as far as I know. Maybe just throwing people off?

As long as they sound good, no one will care about e or ee. What does Stellia mean anyways? Nothing. It’s just a name. When I put the headphone on my head it sounds terrific. I don’t need more. No „story“ behind the product. A well built and tuned phone (near the harman curve) is all I need from a company.

Agreed but it's not to late for Focal to change the name to "Greg".

Greg

It’s better to do this for S

WHAT! HYPE! (not really)

My guess... yes, closed back (no perforated pads), and cheaper (ugly tick headband ). Or maybe a planar driver design (no way XD).

I hope so too...

 

[RONJA MESCO]

They are listed at $990, which is cheaper than the Radiance, so it will be really interesting to see how the performance stacks up to it, the Clear, and even the Elex

$900.....wow, this is a damn good price actually. I wish it was a bit less, but it could mos def be Stellia priced and having me on the sidelines lol.

First $990 ... now you say $900. I say $800. Who bids less?

 

[roskodan]

I say $0... till Zeos says otherwise.
