About the Product
Stellia are the ultimate closed-back circum-aural headphones both in terms of acoustic performance and the prestige of the materials used such as the full grain leather of the headband ear cups and cushions. The full-range speaker driver with Mshape pure Beryllium dome is a concentration of innovations.
Clear are audiophile circum-aural open-back headphones. They represent a new evolution of Focal’s now famous completely open-back full-range speaker driver. The 'M'-shape Aluminum/Magnesium dome benefits from a new copper voice coil.

What customers say about "Key Specs"
Focal Stellia Closed-Back Circum-Aural Over-Ear Headphones
- With the Stellia, you get detail and clarity like the Utopia, but with a much more pleasing and neutral tonal balance.
- The Stellia has a rather low impedance, which makes it easy to drive. It sounds best with my Sony DMP-Z1, but works well with every device I've tried it with.
- The rich, full, and detailed sound and imaging is amazing.
- Focal Stellia is wonderful. It’s the best Closed back headphone I've ever heard.
- I would have liked better noise isolation. These are probably semi-closed instead of fully closed.
Focal Clear Over-Ear High-Resolution Audiophile Headphones
- These headphones perform amazing. Clear, detailed, with no detectable distortion or brightness in the upper range.
- Love this headphone, intimate soundstage, quick dynamic sound, adequate bass, wonderful midrange.
- It's frequency is wide enough for your music despite being narrower than many other high end brands

What customers say about "Size & Weight"
Focal Stellia Closed-Back Circum-Aural Over-Ear Headphones
- Amazing looking and comfortable. Very light product made of premium materials.
- Stunning looks, light enough and can carry it outdoor to Starbucks
- Headphones are large and heavy but it certainly felt very comfortable, thanks partly to the generous and breathable padding.
- These headphones are not portable despite what might be claimed. They are too heavy and big for this.
- Large size could make them a bit too unwieldy for listening on a packed commuter train.
Focal Clear Over-Ear High-Resolution Audiophile Headphones
- Excellent comfort and build quality. Made of solid materials and have reasonable weight.
- Even though they're heavier, they don't have a lot of clamping force, so they are very comfortable.
- Very comfortable, although a bit heavier that some of the others I own but it's for a good side.
- The weight of headphones is well distributed and the ear pads feel great.
- Looks fantastic and very comfortable. Very light and good size. Best headphones I've ever owned.

Focal Clear Over-Ear High-Resolution Audiophile Headphones
- Build quality of these headphones is superb. Fully made of premium materials.
