These things are exxy af in straya, but managed to get them for sale at $999.

On first listen my reaction was 'omg finally, this is what I've been looking for'

Clearer, exciting and more confident sounding than my previous hd6xx, hd600, hd598 and m40x.

Definitely end game. Because there's no way I can afford to spend more on headphones 😂

I love how Focal headphones look the part too.

So many high end headphones just look like drivers with wires connected to them but every Focal looks so good.

I won’t deny their sexiness is what drew me into them initially. Thankfully they have the sound to match.

Fuk ye cunt, a fellow Aussie.

I got the Clears last year on sale and similarly to you I went from a HD6XX, been loving them except for maybe the cables that are included.

Happy listening 👂

Yes, A2A sale so good I actually just got elegias after having the clears for a bit and loving them.

I'm in the same park as you, upgrading from 6xx the clear are the 6xx without the veil and with an even richer/thicker sound.

definitely endgame. the utopia is TOTL but some people actually prefer the clears over the utopias.

Got B stock in the A2A sale on the Clears as well. So nice, except those cables but have replacements. I have found the headband had a horrible sore spot on the top of my head though, even after manipulating it. Ended up buy the ZMF Cresent Snap headband cover and now its heaven.
