These things are exxy af in straya, but managed to get them for sale at $999.

On first listen my reaction was 'omg finally, this is what I've been looking for'

Clearer, exciting and more confident sounding than my previous hd6xx, hd600, hd598 and m40x.

Definitely end game. Because there's no way I can afford to spend more on headphones 😂

I love how Focal headphones look the part too.

So many high end headphones just look like drivers with wires connected to them but every Focal looks so good.

I won’t deny their sexiness is what drew me into them initially. Thankfully they have the sound to match.

Fuk ye cunt, a fellow Aussie.

I got the Clears last year on sale and similarly to you I went from a HD6XX, been loving them except for maybe the cables that are included.

Happy listening 👂

Yes, A2A sale so good I actually just got elegias after having the clears for a bit and loving them.

I'm in the same park as you, upgrading from 6xx the clear are the 6xx without the veil and with an even richer/thicker sound.

Auspost has got their hands on mine at the moment. Glad to hear you like them more than the HD600! So keen to try these!!

The wait from auspost was an excruciating three days 😂

definitely endgame. the utopia is TOTL but some people actually prefer the clears over the utopias.

Got B stock in the A2A sale on the Clears as well. So nice, except those cables but have replacements. I have found the headband had a horrible sore spot on the top of my head though, even after manipulating it. Ended up buy the ZMF Cresent Snap headband cover and now its heaven.

MG or OG?

OG, MGs were at full price at $2200

SherbetRuler t1_je4j6t4 wrote

Oof, definitely a bit of a price difference there. I also own the OG version though, and personally think they're the better of the two anyways

Would you say that the MG can be EQ'd to sound similar to the OG? There's somone selling the MG professional for the equivalent of $620 and I am not sure if I should pull the trigger. I prefer a brigther sound.

My time with the MG was short, but iirc while they do sound different, they don't sound that different. If you're comfortable with using eq, I'd say that it would be well worth the price!

Just had my OG Clears on for a good listen and paid the $999 from A2A too. Definitely good value and is a good contender/alternative listen as the hd 800s :)

$330 cheaper compared to the US lowest price, $500 cheaper if you get the B stock 🔥💯

Clear OG gang. Bought them on a whim seeing them dip to 999 last year but seems like it is going to stay that way for a while.

Definitely an engaging listen. Make sure you got the right mood and energy when you listen to them!

Congrats! I do wish that you had gone with a picture of the headphones themselves as opposed to some cardboard…
