I did research on heaphones to replace my Audio-Technica ATH-M40X, which I've had for over 4 years. The reason I was looking for a replacement was because I had the chance to compare my M40X's to my latest open companions: the HifiMan Sundara. I realized that the M40X were quite V-shaped, and not particularly accurate, or aiming to be that. Don't get me wrong, they're great headphones, and the V-shaped signature certainly adds to the fun component, but I needed something closer to neutral, as I'm getting into music production. I also didn't want closed-back headphones with an emphasized bass response, as is usually the case with those types of headphones. After months of watching tons of videos (I have no audiophile shops around me, and COVID wouldn't permit me to visit them anyways), listening to previews online, and looking at FR charts, I settled on these. Plus I'd told myself I'd want a pair of Focal headphones down the line. The Utopia is definitely still on my list as a potential upgrade to the Sundara in the future (though I may change my mind yet). I decided to look at either the Focal and the Dan Clark Audio Aeon 2 Closed. Reviews made me lean heavily towards the Elegia. I heard the Radiance are a great alternative to that, and are currently still offered by Focal, as the Elegia have been retired, but after much consideration, and a cursory search on Ebay, I determined that the Elegia are a great value at $450, price I got them for, versus $1200 for the Radiance with marginally "better" performance. I say "better" because I'm concerned the Radiance may "radiate" a tad too much warmth for me. I like a clean and punchy low end, a well-defined midrange, and a clear and airy high end without too much sharpness or air. I think I've found that in the Elegia... At least, until the itch catches me again, and the market presents me with a better value in headphones.Read full review

Focal hits it outta park again! Simply amazing sound, separation, stereo effect, clarity, ease of listening on ears, head, in brain… Requires very little,power- no seperqte headphone amp needed, sits lightly on head and over whole ear but sits lightly- superb highest end quality of materials and of build ( including gorgeous, touch as nails case it comes in, made of leather , steel?, aluminum, nylon, the cable is superb outta box and can be ipgrad3d, adjusts simply and easily on head ( important for me, I have long hair and other headphones haVe me getting hair entangled ) sound,is,most important - with, for me, no changes or alterations needed at all. Sounds fantastic,outta the box.I use a plug in ISB dac/ amp whixh boot pits amps to headphones and cleans up sound and makes it more three dimensional, like a Van Gogh painting after living in black and white…and thisis the lowest 8n Fipocals headphone lineup. Got these new in bow surp,us on eBay as they quit mqk8ng this,model, easy to find, but don’t expect much cash off price- sorry bout typos 8n hurry.. wor5h.every pennyRead full review

I highly underrated product for its price. This headphone that once retailed for $1,000 is truly a bargain. It has great wide soundstage and very detailed. It will satisfy any headphone owner and for its price. It is a great bang for its buck.

Se trata de mi segunda experiencia con Focal. Mis primeros audífonos Focal fueron unos Clear que fueron una excelente iniciación en el sonido de esta marca, hasta que perdí el sonido en el audífono izquierdo y nadie entiende que un audífono de esta calidad sufra de este tipo de defectos de fabricación. Era dificilísimo hacer una segunda experiencia después de sufrir tal desaliento. Me decidí y compré estos segundos audífonos Elegia y la experiencia ha sido, hasta ahora, impresionante. Tomando en cuenta que los audífonos aún no tienen ni dos horas de uso, la presencia de la imagen de la música y su excelente sonido de bajos es realmente una diferencia con respecto a los Clear. Estoy utilizando un cable Cardas, Grave Digger, que le ha dado a esos sorprendentes audífonos el sonido de ir requerían. Read full review
