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

Just wanted to say, I bought the SR-80s, didn’t really get it, so gave up on Grados. Had some Focal Elegia but got bored of them. Bought some SR-325x on a whim and was blown away. Just the brightness and the details revealed lots more in my favourite music. Now selling the Focals.

Pra ser sincero, eu só iria pra um hd600 (mais neutro), um Ananda, edition xs. Antes tinha o focal elegia também, mas não acha mais em preço bom. E os outros da focal são muito caros. Nos beyerdinamic pessoalmente acho que só o 1990 compensa como upgrade real, mas é bem mais caro, os 7xx e 9xx são b

I almost purchased the H100 but LDAC or APTX Adaptive is a necessity for me. Not having this on the H100 is the dumbest decision B&O could have made. I will never buy one now. I have the H95 now and it is my favorite headphone of all time. So the H100 would have been my next upgrade. I have owned So

I think I'm pretty agreeable to most tunings honestly. The only headphones I can think of that have really sounded offensive in their tuning are Focal Elegia's. I got them for something stupid like 250$ from Adorama on a Black Friday sale 2 years ago, and the second I put them on, I was mad. They so

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

Owned hd 58x's for 8 years almost, they still work fine, I've replaced the foam once with OEM parts that cost like 5$. Retired them earlier this year for hd 650's that I've been daily driving since. Apart from Sennheiser's great sound, the build quality is absolutely legendary. Nothing I've had my h

I'm also a side sleeper so it's difficult finding good headphones that wont hurt your ears or head when laying on a pillow. Earbuds are a no no for me as well as noise cancelling as they produce the faint static buzzing noise which creates a feeling of pressure and even headache. I've been using the
