Lol the audacity of them to even market a pair of headphones for $700+ is unbelievable. They deserve to be humbled.

I'm the same way without the fostex and zmf, but the driver issue is very well documented and seems to be inherent to the design which Focal doesn't seem to mind. Most of their headphones sound good...

I have a headband protector for my Bathys for whatever it's worth. IMO this should help alleviate some of the headband breaking concerns with Focals. Won't break the bank either at around $10 on...

I too have the elegia but am scared to use them due to the headband issue. I think the expression “garage queen” applies. They only come out on occasion.

That’s what I was going to say. How much better are those from Sennheiser’s? I have a HD650 since 2017 that I paid 300 for it and never had a single issue with it. So how much better are those to...

That is why I have held off. I heard a Clear a while ago and actually really liked it, but I think I have gotten spoiled by Sennheiser. I think my HD600's are more than 10 years old now and still...

I only had mine for a month (bought for $499) so I can’t speak to the long term reliability as others are. But I got to say my initial impressions are that at $399, these headphones are amazing...

Yea, the stock pads get expensive to replace and 3rd party ones can change the sound. This one is actually a Final Sale item so it can't be returned.
