    Focal Clear

    This all sounds very normal, not just with the Clear but all the Focals. The 'metallic sheen' is a trait of the metallic drivers. Much less...

    Elex and Eclair discussion thread

    Exactly the situation I was in. Now can MD please drop more Elex pads - I need a spare pair for when this material disintegrates.

    Focal Clear

    I’m sure you know this already but that’s called sibilance, and it’s my #1 no-no on any headphone. I own the Elex (well, Elear with Elex pads,...

    Elex and Eclair discussion thread

    This is all fair comment. I can see how what I wrote comes across as flippant and underdeveloped. In my head I had all the reasons for my...

    Elex and Eclair discussion thread

    If you want smoothness and detail combined with an exceptional amp for less than the cost of the Cyan, consider the Audio-gd R-28. I use mine with...

    Elex and Eclair discussion thread

    It’s actually the Elex that is all-Black. The Elear is two-time black and Aluminium, and is to me the better looking of the two. In fact I think...

    I’m sure they’ll drop again, at least I hope so! I think after the positive reviews from Elear owners and their ‘reborn’ headphones the next batch...

    Elex and Eclair discussion thread

    I second R2R. I use the Elex with an Audio-gd R-28 and it’s astonishing. I know AGD isn’t really liked in these parts, but the R-28 is top-notch,...

    Elex and Eclair discussion thread

    I second @Whatup69’s impressions. I ‘upgraded’ my Elear to an Elex with genuine Elex pads, and haven’t taken them off since. The change in FR...

    Focal Clear

    Fair enough, although I’d say there’s quite a bit of sample variation - and also different amp variations - because my Elear doesn’t come anywhere...

    Focal Clear

    Out of curiosity, has anyone run these tests on the Utopia? We now know Elear/Elex/Clear have this ‘issue’ but what about the big boys?

    Audeze LCD2C Great Expectations

    The Elear does that already. As does the LCD2C. Both can be had for ~$500 mint. YMMV.

    All the Focals do. That’s how they’re designed. And for the record they shouldn’t bottom out at moderate levels unless the track is all sub 30Hz...
