    Does Focal still want 200 bucks for some fuzzy trouser cuttings and foam?

    Focal also hasn't made spares available yet so regardless of price there is also that...

    The "Professional" version comes with a spare, iirc.

    With some luck it should be possible to find a pair.

    FWIW, the quote I got from the US distributor was $500 for Clear replacement pads, and a fraction lower for a Clear SE cable. Might as well buy a used pair at those prices.

    WTF? Utopia pads are $250, Elear pads $150. Clear should be priced around $200 at most.

    I'm betting it's to detour Elear owners from buying up all the Clear pad stock and semi-forcing upgrading to the Clears. I remember Audeze had a similar issue with the DIY community and put their LCD pads on lockdown.

    You single-handedly destroyed the production of all Audeze vegan pads and skyrocketed their resale value.

    It sucks because Utopia is amazeballs if you can forgive the price. Focal does some pretty innovative things with speakers too.

    I don’t really care about the price of their headphones, it’s the replacement parts that are a joke. The headband alone for the Clear is $800.
