Drivers

The circum-aural open-back headphones have a special speaker driver which features a frameless copper voice coil. This voice coil has a strong magnetic field and as a result, reacts very quickly to dynamic changes in the music. As a result, your music will sound more like the original record and produce a more precise and "clearer" (pun intended- I'm sorry) emotional feeling. The headphones produce detailed transients with linear high frequencies.

Fit

The Focal Clear Open-Back Headphones include the same "M"-shaped inverted dome that the Focal Elear and Focal Utopia headphones have. This helps to make the headphones produce a plain wave, which otherwise would be impossible because, after all, the spears are barely an inch away from your ear. The dome is made of an aluminium/magnesium alloy making it light yet rigid, with a good amount of dampening. As a result, the lucky listeners who will own the Focal Clear Headphones will have the best fidelity headphones on the market that employ such mobility and comfort.

Ear pads on the Focal Clear are specially designed to act like a high-end listening room. They have very small 1mm sized perforations, contributing to the overall openness of the sound. The headband and ear cup position and shapes are designed to fit so comfortably on the head as to make them feel weightless.

The headband itself has a constant bend so that no matter the size of the head, the weight is distributed evenly to take pressure off the ears. It provides top-of-the-line sealing and comfort.

What the press is saying:

"Yes, $1,499 is a lot of money for a pair of headphones. But the emotional involvement and sonic revelations you’ll uncover listening to your favorite music through these headphones will be worth it. You'll hear your musical collection like the first time."

"These $1,500 headphones from France feel and sound divine"
