EISA award – “High-End Headphones 2018-2019”
Manufactured in our French workshops, Clear is the high-end reference circum-aural headphones. Incorporating an exclusive open-back full-range speaker driver, leading technology inspired by the Utopia model, an “M” profile dome and copper coil with no support, Clear delivers a sound worthy of the best acoustic loudspeakers. Sound rendering magnified by careful design. And not only do they look great, but these headphones are also comfortable and lightweight, two essential features at Focal.
Clear headphones deliver a wonderfully open and translucent sound thanks to clever design and excellent build quality. (…) Focal has gone all out for greatness and succeeded. (…) The Clear’s dynamic drive units have a specially shaped diaphragm with a roll surround, optimizing response while controlling any break-up modes: this makes for a crisp and insightful sound. by EISA jury 2018
