Focal Elegia Audiophile Circum-Aural Closed-Back Over-Ear Headphones (Black/Silver)

• Build Quality:One word: Exceptional.Everything you\'ve heard about Focal is true. The box unboxing was like opening an Apple Product. Meticulous attention to detail. The plastic of the box was super high quality. The case the headphones come in is the same high end case that the 4000 dollar Utopias come in. Lot of people complain about the braided focal cables but this headphone comes with a black smooth cable that is 3 feet long and super high quality.The headphone design is wonderful. Clean design. The headband is half pleather and half velour (bottom half). Very comfortable against the head. The arms holding the headphone are hard dense aluminum which is so stiff and looks gorgeous with the black cups which are against high quality plastic. The logo is aluminum and supremely crafted. You can see the drivers inside the cups.My only gripe is that the clamping force of these headphones is no joke. The headphone is very solid and substantial. Not too heavy but not light like say a HD600 either. But the clamp is pretty tight and you should wear it a notch looser which breaks the seal a bit but improves the comfort if you wanna hear for a long time.Sound;Bass: This is the only let down of this headphone. Ive heard quite a few headphones and Iems and compared to the HD600, HD800s, Aria, LCD2, these are on the light side in this respect. The bass is definitely there but its this super clean bass that you can hear more than you can feel. Its not large, voluminous or thunderous. It feels light and does have much impact. I ran it off the Schitt Asguard by the way. The bass is just barely acceptable for me and I am someone who prefers a slightly more bass than your typical listener. I would say its similar to the HD800s which is also light in bass. It doesn\'t even come close to planar bass which destroys this headphone which really doesn\'t make sense to me because dynamic headphones especially closed back tend to do bass well. Maybe it has to do with the M shaped technology they are using for this particular driver. I read however, that the focal clear which has a driver of same size and composition resolves all these issues and is OPEN BACK which is even more confusing haha.Mid Range:Fantastic. This is the highlight of this headphone. Vocals sound superb. Absolutely beautiful smooth presentation. Nothing that is annoying or stands out in this range. The resolution of this headphone is amazing. Mid range detail is great. Electric guitars and bass guitars are a joy to listen to. Instruments like piano, and string instruments come through extremely natural and beautiful sounding. This headphone is slightly mid-forward. Really one of the best mids Ive heard in any headphone.Treble:The extension is there and you get some treble details but it doesn\'t have any major peaks in the treble range that I could spot out. I\'m very sensitive to certain treble peaks. I get sound fatigue very easily. For example the HD800s is way too bright for me. I also had these electret IEMs shuoer tapes which i liked but can\'t listen to for long because they are so bright. This headphone is definitely slightly bright but does not bother me at all. It has just enough detail to make the song complete without irritating you. The treble is also smooth and easy to listen to. Rock and heavy metal are very enjoyable because you don\'t get the annoying high pitched sounds. It does distorted sounds wells too. It plays poorly recorded music well. Also, Rap is great on this headphone. The only drawback is that I wish for a little more bass when listening to rap but literally all other aspects of the song are really solid.Separation: Very good for 500 bucks. This driver is outstanding in this department. It has planar magnetic level separation. The presentation of rock, heavy metal is some of the best ive heard because the guitars are beautifully separated, the vocal is nicely centered and very natural sounding. Imaging is also pretty good.The headphone has a slight smaller soundstage. Its definitely wide for a closed back to the point that someone would think its open if they didn\'t know but its not that wide. Most of the stuff happens close to your ears. The sound is intimate which is good because simple vocal tracks sound good. Its a bit wider than the HD 600 which is also pretty narrow soundstage.This headphone can play many types of songs very well. Any song that isn\'t too bass focused sound fantastic in this heaphone. If you like mainly Rap, Rock, Heavy metal, this is a no brainer. If your a bass head don\'t even bother with this. You will be disappointed and don\'t believe what the other reviews say. The bass is honestly speaking: lacking a lot of volume. If you listen to classical, jazz, pop, this headphone is a go in those genres too. I specifically liked all of system of a down, \"Laid to rest\", \"Walk with me in Hell\", and others. Overall very good sound and quality. If they had made the bass on this headphone better this would have elevated this to another level!!!
