COMFORT AND ELEGANCE

With its well-mastered geometry, Elegia's headband moulds perfectly to the head, providing optimal grip for on-the-go use. The 20mm memory foam microfibre earpads as well as the yoke, which also moulds perfectly to the wearer’s face shape, are both key contributors to the headphones’ supreme comfort. They are also incredibly good-looking: noble materials such as leather, solid aluminium and microfibre finish off Elegia to a tee.

EXCLUSIVE SPEAKER DRIVERS

Elegia is equipped with a new generation of electrodynamic transducers which provide great elongation, at the heart of extremely dynamic sound, and a linear, extended frequency response of 23 kHz. The geometry of the new, half-roll NBR surround gives a lightweight moving part that is always under control, even at the lowest frequencies and the highest volumes. The sound reproduction is incredibly precise. And thanks to the "M”-shape inverted dome and its larger emissive surface, listening becomes sensational.

PERFECT SOUNDPROOFING

Loading a speaker driver into a “small room” makes it extremely sensitive to its environment. Our engineers’ 40 years of expertise and know-how led to specific work being undertaken on the vents, so as not to limit the frequency response in the low-range and thus properly manage the air flow. With Elegia, there is no resonance to disturb the listening experience. And the closed earpads round off the remarkable soundproofing.

    INCREDIBLE Listening Experience! At an amazingly low price!

    INCREDIBLE Listening Experience! At an amazingly low price!
    I’m a professional musician (sax & all woodwinds), & a just-retired Music Educator of 42+ years (band, jazz band & orchestra). I’ve owned a lot of solid headphones, but nothing expensive. I got hooked as a kid, as my Dad had a marvelous Marantz system from the late 1960s w the best Koss headphones you could buy back then. My Mom was a semi-pro violinist. Over the years I’ve owned AKG studio monitors, Audio Technical, Grado, & more recently delved into the newer planars by Meze & HiFiMan.But w college kids, I’ve never been able to shell out $$$ for the best-reviewed models coming out. Until now. BUT I lucked into the FOCAL ELEGIA thx to it being the closed-back I needed & obviously many retailers still having too much ELEGIA stock on hand.So after reading reviews, I JUMPED on these!! Where else can you purchase previously-run $1150 headphones for $380? I could care less about upgraded exotic wood this, or premium leather headband cushioning. I only want the music to sound TERRIFIC - w as large a “sound stage” & outside noise reduction as possible. The ELEGIA is the FINEST pair of headphones I’ve ever owned, & the PRICE CANNOT be beat!! I’m an arranger of all sorts of music, & have a small publishing business. I need to hear clear, crisp details in the music… I want to hear the 2nd oboe or the harp clearly… exact rudiment of the snare drum, the breathing of a singer, the amount of pressure the cello section uses as they go through diff bowing techniques, the third trumpet part. Or the amount of vibrato a jazz singer uses in a particular moment. The ELEGIA’s sound is very “Natural” w/o exaggerated bass (oh, it IS there!). The ELEGIAs are very comfortable to wear - I have a large head, but the seal is perfect. I feel as though I am in the middle of the jazz ensemble or orchestra performing.I’m blown away by these headphones. The best part is I didn’t spend $1150 on them. I’ve LUCKED OUT that Focal has ramped up their production & have been introducing the Celestee & other models so fast - that some of us can snag these terrific “discontinued” models at an almost ridiculous price!!If you’re serious as I was about finally getting top-notch audiophile cans at a moderately low price - order a pair before they’re all gone. The build is terrific, cable has been fixed (not stiff at all). The case is very nice, & as another reviewer mentioned, unboxing them is a step or two more satisfying than unboxing an Apple product. Mine came in a thick packing box surrounded by thick foam…inside was the Focal box also well-padded & the production box was padded inside as well. Made in France by a top-notch engineering & quality-driven production team. Well-done, FOCAL!! These will last me 25 years, but down the road, I’ll check out their other offerings!
