Stellia

I have both. Most of the Focals are made in France. I have the Stellias (very high end) The B&Os are made in China. I have the Portals for gaming and the H100 for casual/commute/travel.

I should try that one too, I have been ignoring Focal for too long after trying the Stellia. Not fair to judge everything they make based on a single model. Probably not going to buy anything though, I use the DCA Stealth and it seems like the perfect headphone for me. At least nothing else I've tri

lol its just a general comment. i think your szalayi is one tier above and solve the quirks you.mentioned. next tier with basshead trait CA Clara. but wayyyyy overpriced. even higher dynamics. just go focal radiance/stellia or denons with capble amp. end game bass dynamics even compared to these hig

None of my over head headphones are particularly hard to drive (Focal Stellia, Focal Utopia, HifiMAN He1000se, Senn HD800s). The HD800s is probably the hardest to drive and it has no issue with the DX340/Amp18. The Amp17 has more power but the noise floor is not as good, which can be an issue with s

I did an AB test with the Bathy MGs and PX82s. To me, the focals were the clear winner. Much better soundstage and instrument separation. And just a much more complete sound. The B&Ws were a bit warmer, but the slightly recessed vocals, no matter how I eq’d them were a deal breaker. The focals are t

Merci pour ta réponse, t’inquiète c’est pas à côté du tout, c’est même super pertinent. Alors pour répondre à tes questions : J’utilise le DAC/ampli RME ADI-2 DAC FS, donc a priori pas de souci de qualité ou de puissance. Oui, j’ai appliqué l’égaliseur Oratory1990 (target Harman) via Peace EQ, donc

OK je comprends. Ce dont tu parles est connu comme "diminishing returns". Passe un certains points la difference de tarif apporte de moins en moins d impact. Je n irait quand meme pas jusqu a dire 10 a 15% par rapport a un HyperX (plutot par rapport a un HD600 ou un Focal Clear OG). Le Stellia est e

Я з дитинства дуже любив музику, тому звук і саундтрек для мене дуже важливі. Я люблю атмосферні ігри в які легко зануритись і повірити. Саунд дизайн є фундаментом для цього занурення. Декілька моїх улюблених саундтреків які я часто слухаю навіть не граючи в ті ігри: Skyrim, Ori and the blind forest

Typically, my budget is up to $1300. But, if the headphones drive me crazy where I'll be crying, falling to my knees and banging my head on the floor, I can spend up to $2400 like a one-time purchase for many years. Focal Stellia and anything above $3000+ I think way too expensive and diminishing re

Interesting. I should try to find a place where I can listen to the Utopia as a lot of people seem to really like them The only Focal I've tried is the Stellia and that was a huge disappointment, but I'm aware there's really no relation between those two.
