Every time this deal gets posted, somebody comes on here to make it sound like the headband is a super common failure point, and that if you buy this your headband WILL break. I know I've dropped...

The resistance of the cable is insignificant. Most cans have fairly long cables. The Sony 7506 comes with a hard-wired ten-foot cable, which I doubt Sony would do if resistance was truly an issue.

the drivers in these are good but they have a 2K peak that is actually a draw back. You need to EQ them. Look up the autoEQ parametrics for this on the github.

People posting how crappy these were made not even want to try these. Then I bought them. Loved them.
They’re on the heavy side, which I don’t like, but I love the sound. For this price they’re a...

I have these and prefer them over my DT700 Pro X. I think they're great at this price point, and sound way better than all my cheaper "good" headphones (e.g., DT770 Pro, ATH-M50x, Drop E-MU purple,...

I think a lot of cans and IEM's have short audio cables to keep electrical resistance to a minimum and then if you want/need more length, you buy an extension cord of your choosing.

You can put Beyerdynamic in there also. They are built like tanks. I have also been impressed with Meze so far for a more audiophile type headphone. The funny thing with Hifiman is I breifly had a...

Tbh, I don't think I've ever read anything good about Focal or HiFiman's build quality in any of their models.
I've made it my rule to stick with Sennheiser and Philips. Never had build quality...

That response is pretty hilarious. You have cemented my decision to pass. I am not into games when it comes to luxury goods (and I know they are only $300, but does anyone really NEED these). Now...

Can confirm. I have a set of Clears and Elegias. The Elegias have long broken and the Clear is feeling like it will break very soon. Here is an email response from Focal in 2020 when my Elegias...

You only buy this headphone if you need a closed back headphone that does not leak sound, if so this is a good option at $299 . Otherwise the hifiman and Sennheiser headphones are vastly superior(...

These sound good, but I prefer my Hifiman HE400's. Cheaper, too. I also paid 369 for these.

BEFORE YOU BUY FOCAL HEADPHONES, do a search for "FOCAL HEADBAND BREAKAGE" and read up on that. Also, try looking for Focal's product repairs (not just under warranty) - good luck on this one.

It looks like $400 is a regular price for them. Definitely not $890

I have hifiman xs and like it very much. How do they compare? It seems the original price on this one is higher.

That was just a marketing gimmick to sell more. They’ve been supposed to be discontinued for like 5 years now. You can check how often they’ve been posted on here
