When the headband breaks, no replacement is available.

I have both. The XS sound way better with most types of music.The XS is an open back, and has a much wider, airier soundstage then the Elegia, which are closed back.Like all headphones, some sound better or worse depending on what you're listening to and what you're listening to it through. But the XS will often make me go "Wow", while the Elegia never do. The Elegia are okay, and some times sound pretty good, but I have a hard time believing they were ever a $1,000 headphone as they supposedly were when first released. $299 is a fair price for them, but I would recommend spending an extra $100 and getting a B Stock Edition XS from the Hifiman website for $399 if they're still on sale, which they were recently. The B Stock pair I bought seemed brand new in every way, still don't know why they were considered B Stock.

I post every time on these because they break really easy, the head rest will break, and there is zero customer service for it. There also is not a replacement.

Also, the Hifiman's that go on sell here, the more expensive ones, sound wayyyy better.

I know not everyone seems to like these. I'm not one of those people. Mine is hooked up to the drop THX789 using Tidal or Amazon Prime hi-def. Slightly better & different than my Beyerdynamic DT177x & definitely better to my ears than the Sennheiser Drop 6xx (unless you love mids).

They must be running out of these. Then again lesser known Focal headphones--as opposed to Sennheiser which even Walmart & Fred Meyers carries in-store--probably aren't flying off anyone's shelf so $299 is pretty good I think. My 2 cents.

Edit: Should add as mentioned by StrykerEureka below the cable isn't that great but I use a balanced cable that fit,

I got them and returned them. They sound OK but the main issue is the cord they provide. It is so small ( Iam not kidding.. this is ridiculously small) that I have to move closer to my amp.

Yeah it definitely sucks. I had a balanced cable I could put on them.

Anyone know if Adarama is an authorized dealer. I have heard of failures and want to make sure the warranty is intact

I think I read that replacement pads are really expensive or something like that. A hidden cost.

The Elegia is supposed to be discontinued I think.

I know Adorama is legit. Still not 100% sure they are an authorized dealer. Anyone know?

Looks like it. They are listed on the Focal store locator and states "Only official Focal dealers are listed on the Focal website."
