Focal Elegia Headphones Overview

Though Focal’s first three high-resolution headphones – Elear, Utopia and Clear – are still getting rave reviews, each is still offered as an open-back design only. But now, thanks to a breakthrough years in the making – a way to integrate premium speaker drivers into a closed back design without making any concessions on lower frequencies – Focal closes the circle with the company’s latest. With Elegia, audiophiles, musicians and engineers who depend on (and prefer) closed-back headphones can have them, sans the frequency loss so often typical in closed-back designs.

Product Information

Elegia is an audiophile circumaural closed-back pair of headphones from Focal. The ergonomic design makes them incredibly comfortable and offers excellent sound isolation, making these headphones the ideal solution for long listening sessions. Continuing its headphone development programme, the Focal R&D team has introduced several new innovations, all with incredible audio performance in mind. The full-range 'M'-shape aluminium/magnesium dome speaker driver provides a very high frequency response, which is the basis for Elegia’s supremely dynamic sound. In addition, the frameless voice coil, which is lightweight yet incredibly stiff, reproduces the minutest details that adds to the convincing all-round performance. With its incredible tonal balance combined with long-term comfort, the Elegia is a key reference in the high-end closed-back headphones sector.

Not what I expected
Having only owned Bose and Sony speakers in the 300 range I assumed headphones all sounded a certain way. These headphones have less bass and the vocals are crystal clear compared to traditional headphones. It sounds like i am at a concert. when i switch back to other headphones they sound so muted because my ear adapts. need to use it for some time to break them in and they sound amazing.

First off fit and build on these are first rate. Head band and ear cups are very comfortable. I'm driving my Elegia's via a Graham Slee Bitzie DAC and it is a match made in heaven. Using Tidal as a reference for streaming material, something like Massive Attack's Teardrop is beautifully detailed and controlled but a definite step up on my previous headphones (high end Bluetooth AKG), side by side listening and comparison is jaw dropping. The way the sound stage opens up at around the 3 minute mark on Deep Purples 'Child in Time' 1995 is pure Wow moment. Very happy customer.

Fantastic 1st impresión, only 1 day in! Level of clarity/detail and bass accuracy is excellent. Soundstage and airiness, unbelievable for a closed-back headphone, highly recommend!

First impressions - before fully running in - are that these are fantastic headphones. If these improve further over the next few days then I will be even more delighted. I had not imagined a closed back headphone could sound SO open. Bravo on the sound. I have the newer (rubber finish) cable and this is better than I had expected but still a bit stiff. Clamping force is fairly high too but that's always going to vary with head shape and size.

Great build quality. Sound is precise, but treble tuning is slightly harsh. Benefits from EQ adjustment.

Chapeau Focal !! Edles Design, hervorragender Tragekomfort, sehr gute Verarbeitungsqualität sowie ansprechende Materialanmutung und letztendlich natürlich auch die Sound Qualität haben mich sehr überzeugt. Bestimmt wird der Elegia nicht mein einziger Focal-Kopfhörer bleiben ! :-)
