Superb headphones, not yet broken in, but after already 3 hours of listening the bass tightens and is better defined. Listening to Megan Thee Station's album "Traumazine" the subs and depth sound just magnificent. Also listening to Post Malone's album "Twelve Carat Toothache" mixed by Manny Marroquin for spatialization, it's just amazing.. Compared to my SEINHEISER HD650, BEYERDYNAMIC DT990, Audio-Technica - ATH-M50 X headphones, it's just incomparable and I love my HD650, but the Focal is just Wow. Bass definition is grandiose and spatialization magnificent. We agree the price is not the same, but for mixing in good conditions it's really the top. We are in another world. I do not regret my purchase, I just wonder why I didn't do it sooner. I already have the Focal Solo 6 ST6 and the Sub one from Focal, I have only one word, Thank you FOCAL.

Excellent build quality, very premium feeling. a bit heavy but not a deal breaker for me since it's quite comfortable. \r\nI tried Sennheiser HD650, too warm for me, the veil is real and I don't like that mellow feeling. I also tried beyerdynamic DT 1990 Pro, while I love the soundstage and crisp sound, the treble is too sharp for my taste, every sibilance annoys me. \r\nSo my goal was to find a balance between two, a perfect combination of those two. Focal clear hits that exact sweet spot. I know they're not in the same price range but I like what I hear from clear from first moment. The only compromise I'm making is...well, cost. \r\nI'm using a very basic schiit stack and based on my research and what I hear, it's enough.

Beautiful pair of headphones, in terms of sound, styling and packaging. With the right source they have stunning presentation, with inspiring and engaging sound throughout the spectrum. Bass and sub-bass is rich, punchy and well timed. The mid-rage and high-end is clear and dynamic, however, the high-end may be a bit too 'bright' for some ears where it over-sparkles slightly.
In terms of comfort, they are great in this area too, they feel extremely light on the head and have minimal clamping force.
Service from Premium Sound has indeed been premium and are my go-to for all things audio.

I have been looking over a pair of head earphones, for quite some time. My original Panasonic model had many issues when I attached it to my sound system, all I got was static, and moments where it would be very loud.\nI could never get the sound adjusted.\nWith Focal Clear MG, the sound is there, not loud.\nWhen using these headphones with a mobile phone devise, you definitely need to get an amplifier, it’ll make listening even more enjoyable.\nIn regards to the fit, my ears do not feel crushed when I put them on.\nAlthough, they look huge they’re actually quite comfortable.\nPerfect headphones ,for any kind of music you want to listen too.

Compared to the HD800S this headphone has a greater emphasis on bass and goes deeper. The mids are not very different. The treble however lack the same amount of air the HD800S produces. It's less harsh, but with the closed off sound stage it's really disappointing. I wasn't expecting it to come to the level of the HD800S, but still leaves a lot to be desired. \r\n \r\nThe construction overall is premium, opulent even. Though less comfortable then the HD800S. If you're looking for maximum comfort the HD800S is also better. However I preferred the materials used in its cushioning and overall construction was much better.

I had 3 days since new and the left driver started to make very loud crackling metallic noises when volume 50% and above. Something very stange happened to that driver, I suppose it was a defective unit. I'm in the middle of the return/exchange process, I hope the second unit comes better (perfect, I would assume for this price)... Very unlucky....

I own several pairs of this particular headphone from Focal. I've always enjoyed how they sound. They are both rich sounding, warm but still detailed. They are non-fatiguing to listen to for hours on end and everything sounds good to me on these headphones! They really work their magic when paired with a good DAC and a good tubed, headphone amplifier. The price on these (Open Box) headphones was too tempting to pass up. So, I grabbed them. I'm glad I did! IF you love good audio and can get a pair of these headphones at a good price, you will not be disappointed!

Incredible headphone. Sounds like the HD 600 but with slightly pulled back upper mids, amazing bass, slightly better treble extension, much better instrument separation/imaging, and better detail throughout the FR. Small 6k peak emphasizes drums nicely. 1.5k bump emphasizes vocals and colors sound slightly. Bass is fast and punchy and slightly emphasized. Amazingly clear and intimate vocals. Not quite as detailed as my HD 800 SDR.
