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
Perfect tonal balance, exceptional sound quality across the entire audio spectrum.
Awesome very high quality headphones. Very Clear, detailed, dynamic and fast - while being smooth.

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.

What customers say about "Features"

Focal Stellia Closed-Back Circum-Aural Over-Ear Headphones

The appearance, build quality and comfort are all what one would expect at this price.
The aluminum yoke and luxurious memory foam-filled leather earpads combine to provide the most comfortable yet secure fit with no heat build-up over extended listening periods.
The Focal Stellias combine high-quality craftsmanship with a stunning open soundstage.
Even the cables look luxurious – they're woven in the same color scheme as the headphones, and they felt sturdy and well made.
A new and-improved transducer enables the headphones to maintain extreme clarity.

Focal Clear Over-Ear High-Resolution Audiophile Headphones

Build quality of these headphones is superb. Fully made of premium materials.
The Clear come in a beautifully made hard case with three very well made cables.
Various connections. COmes with shorter 3.5 ended, longer balanced XLR and longer balanced 2.5.
They comes with a really nice travel case, and three types of cables.
The headphone cables are not as manageable as I would like. They are too long and there cables for both ears, which is uncomfortable.
