Focal Utopia

Okay, so now to wrap up this review. The Focal Utopia very rapidly rose to the top echelon of the headphone world, and after having the opportunity to...

So just like I said in my original review, if what you're looking for is the very best of what dynamic driver headphones have to offer, then look no f...

So that's my review of the Utopias, they're really good, they're really good, have bullet points, Zoc Reviews 2018, they're really good, they're overp...

Discard because tube amp stinky!. Finally, the worst part of the setup, the Focal utopia. I'm really fed up with these, I thought they would sound better than my hd6xx, which sound better than my dt770, which sound better than my ksc75.

I tried a few FLAC files, I even listened on a Pono Player and an Astell & Kern player, and whatever difference there might be, I didn’t notice it. The Utopia and Elear sound just as good with well-recorded compressed files as they do with the super-duper lossless varieties.

Focal Utopia: Basically a Focal Clear on steroids with better technicalities and tonality around the board. Very good.

Full disclosure, I don't own these headphones, never had a chance to listen to them. But $4000 DOLLARS FOR HEADPHONES.....YOU MUST BE OUT OF YOUR DAMN MIND.

I just got more of what I asked for. This was a winning combination---\***THE** \*winning combination.Fast forward to the present and though I don't like admitting to a favorite, I have found nothing more enjoyable and exciting than the Focal Utopia. I am sure there are things that best them, but I feel no need to find out. The Utopia out-resolves anything else I own and gets me excited to explore the most important thing, music.

First off.. I do believe this headphone is overpriced. It sounds more like a 2,000-2,500 headphone. At times, with certain instruments it does, IMO, sound like a 4,000 headphone. But those times are not common. The sound will scale based on the amp being used. With my SPL Phonitor X, it sounds the b...

Compared to a neutral reference like the K612 or even the HD 600 it sounds a little darker, but still very natural. Focal Utopia: I have only heard this one in a store. It sounds like a slightly brighter and more resolving Clear.
