Focal Headphones
French manufacturer founded in 1979 in Saint-Étienne, making its own drivers rather than buying them in. The headphone range applies the same driver engineering as the loudspeakers.
About Focal Headphones
Quick Access
A driver manufacturer that makes headphones
Focal are unusual among headphone brands because they are first and foremost a driver manufacturer. The company has been making its own transducers in Saint-Étienne since 1979, for its own loudspeakers and for the car audio industry, and the headphones came later as an application of that capability.
The M-shaped dome is the signature. Rather than a conventional cone or a dome, Focal use a shape that keeps the diaphragm rigid across a wider bandwidth, made in beryllium on the reference models and aluminium magnesium further down.
The range runs from the Elegia and Clear through to the Utopia, with the closed-back Stellia for use outside a listening room.
Focal headphones are generally easier to drive than planar alternatives, but still benefit from a proper amplifier.
