Seeking a recommendation for over-the-ear headphones 🎧

Currently using a set of Focal Celestee that I love to death! By far the best set I have owned, but they are pretty expensive, though! Crazy presentation of Phish! Tons of detail and separation with a huge bottom end that makes them sound HUGE and amazing. Can't say enough good things about em!

The best audiophile headphones are now from Sennheiser 🇩🇪, Philips 🇳🇱, Meze 🇷🇴, and Focal 🇫🇷. Quality = European

Agreed, focal have over-engineered cheap plastic parts where most of the stress is in the headband and often breaks. https://www.reddit.com/r/headphones/comments/vy4p3t/yet_another_broken_focal_elegia_headband_diy/ not my post but also happened to my focal celestee, support wouldn't take it under warranty

Sennheiser 620S on sale at 299$ in Canada

The closest competitors are from Focal: Azurys (a bit more expensive even when the HD620S is at full price) and Celestee (quite more expensive). The lower mid priced closed back headphone market does not have many alternatives. We could add the cheaper and worst sounding HD569 or HD598C (closed vers

Thinking of canceling my Space One order—is the hinge durability really that bad?

People also have issues with the headband on expensive Focal headphones. I have my Focal Celestee for 3 years now and not a single issue with the headband.I think people rip their headphones from their heads with only one hand and wonder why the headband breaks. I always use both hands and only bend

RANT: Problemas no mundo CHI-FI

Muitos produtos tem problemas crônicos no geral. Eu não quero discutir possível mal uso, mas a linha da focal teve problemas de rompimento de bobina nos falantes por quase uma década. O utopia de 4 mil dólares teve por 6 anos, exceções sendo o elegia e celestee. A campfire audio que é também sofreu

Looking for a more resolving complement to the Bokeh Closed

Thanks, I would not rule Focal out at all to be honest. Before moving to the Bokeh I had a bit of a journey through wireless headphones. I came from the Sony WH-1000XM6, tried the B&W PX8 S2 which I found too boomy with a bit too much treble or sibilance, then the Audeze Maxwell which I actually rea

Sennheiser 620S on sale at 299$ in Canada

When I bought the HD620S last year, there were so little alternatives that I considered the Focal Azurys (it was just released at the time), The Focal Celestee (quite expensive but still in the competition) and the Focal Elegia (cheaper alternative to Celestee which remplaced it but was still availa

Stax SR-X1: Opiniões pós "lua de mel" de equipamento novo

Eu não considero ele desconfortável mas tá longe do ideal. A maioria do tempo ele não me incomoda, mas tem umas horas que parece que um lado sela melhor do que o outro, não sei se por causa do meu cabelo ou por causa do óculos, e me dá uma agonia desgraçada No ponto dos fones high end serem desconfo
