Damn this adorama useless teasing. Their shipping costs half the price of decent pair. In addition to price specified on site, I had to pay all kinds of fees to receive the package. Fedex are the worst for international shipping.

$399 is about the right price for this headphone. Don't think it's a great deal. Focal prices are inflated to begin with. Who charges $200 for pads and $1000 for cable?Damn this adorama useless teasing. Their shipping costs half the price of decent pair.

Yes. Adorama is not that good for us, international buyers, but the prices are REALLY good for US residents...Damn this adorama useless teasing. Their shipping costs half the price of decent pair.

I own the Elegia and it is certainly worth at least $399. And plenty of companies charge $1000 for a 10ft cable. All depends on what level your playing at.$399 is about the right price for this headphone. Don't think it's a great deal. Focal prices are inflated to begin with.

*sigh* I just bought these for $1399. Damn.
Well, anyway... that's a great price. I got mine with a torn outer box, but otherwise they are pristine and sound absolutely like a flagship headphone should. Even at the higher price, I am quite happy with them.
If you're looking for an inexpensive XLR cable to go with it (this version comes with 4.4mm balanced cable), Hart has HD800 cables starting at $75. This is a product that they only offer sporadically and is the best deal I've found for compatible cables.
