Absolutely yes! I can't speak for the other models' failure rate in Focal's line as I've only bought the Elegia's from Adorama (but searching on this topic indicates YES). But 1 year and 2 months after I bought this model, the headband broke and there's nowhere to buy a replacement headband. I am now going to attempt to 3D print a replacement part but my hopes are not high. I did keep them hanging on a headphone rack but this shouldn't cause this failure to happen.
BOTTOM LINE: Don't waste your money on a product that will break because the mfr decided to bond plastic to metal with no mfr support. I couldn't imagine spending thousands on a Focal Clear or Utopia model only to have it break with normal use. Avoid this brand at all costs. I should've done my research first.

Thanks a lot I really have broken every pair of headphones I have had so don't want more of the same I appreciate it!
I wish to own focal speakers one day. Maybe I should just settle for a pair of cans ... 😂
If you're serious, save up. It is worth it. I have focal Sopra No2 LR, Sopra center, Sopra No1 for surrounds, then 4x 300 series in ceiling for atmos. It's beyond amazing sound.
