Review: Surprisingly brilliant! - Beautifully produced headphones which are by far the most comfortable I own. They come with a very smart case, cable (a bit to stiff for my liking) and adapter to go between 6.4mm and 3.5mm outputs. Initially I found the midrange to be a bit overpowering and the bass to be under emphasized but the sound really grew on me the more I listened. The bass extension is excellent and they provide about as much range as you could possibly hope for in a pair of headphones. The highs are also present and detailed but in no way harsh. The soundstage goes pretty wide and there is pretty good separation between instruments. Sound isolation is pretty good but the surprising thing is how the sound these produce is more akin to a pair of open-back headphones. I'm very happy with this purchase and would recommend to anyone looking for a quality pair of headphones.
Review: Okay for a close-back model. - Bought for listening when incoming and/or outgoing noise would be a problem. The construction features necessary to minimise disturbance result in good thermal as well as acoustic insulation so the 'phones can get a little warm around the ears in a warm environment after an hour or so, but I can live with that. The clamping pressure on my head was just right for stability without discomfort. Sound quality is good for a closed-back design although inevitably not as good as would be expected from an open-back design. Build quality excellent. Overall, I'm happy with my purchase.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: The Elear has good bass response, how are people complaining about the bass on this?**
A: I've been a bass player for 30 years. I don't find the Elegia to be lacking in bass. I use them when I need a closed back headphone. I have the Focal Clear for home use and the bass is somewhat comparable. My source is a KANN Cube which I find is outstanding. Listening to Hotel California right now, bass response is fine. One man's opinion, good luck.

**Q: Any preference on balanced cable?**
A: I'd say most all cables are a user preference thing.  For long runs balanced may be prone to less noise. Whether you'll hear the difference from one balanced cable to another is likely up to your ears alone. For normal, i.e. close, use single ended or balanced are probably the same. But, user preference beats all.

**Q: What cable connections plug into the headphones themselves? Are they dual 2.5mm plugs or screw ons, or something else?**
A: The Focal Elegia headphone accepts a 3.5mm mono mini-plug on each side. Note: the Focal factory supplied cables include a small ring at the end of the plug that holds the plug in place. You should also be aware that all Focal headphone cables will fit the Elegia, both unbalanced and balanced (4-pin XLR at amp output).

**Q: Can they work with televisions**
A: Assuming your tv has the appropriate audio jack and/or you have have the appropriate adaptor(s), yes.

After a Long contemplation I decided to purchase these phones yes expensive but not disappointed whilst they lack features of convenience compared to most headphones if you simply want sound quality through a cable and comfort for long listening periods they do not disappoint
