These are the focal utopia 2022 headphones. I started my journey with the sennheiser hd800s. They sounded great of course but I realized I wanted something that didn’t focus so much on one thing (soundstage) and wanted more bass. I tried the fostex th900x and they were great I loved them but I saw a pair of open box Stellia’s for 2k so I grabbed them instead. I’m more of a bass head so that’s why I switched to closed back and they were great but the open box had bad rattling when bass would kick in at low and high frequencies so I returned them and got my refund and just said f*cK it saved up a bit more and got these.

They are just great. Don’t know what to say. They are everything I wanted really and they are open back. Amazing sound, awesome meaty bass. The build quality is superb. These are endgame. I’m done. My search is finally over.

I’m using these with the RME ADI-2 DAC FS. it’s totally overkill but that’s how I am lmao. I have G.A.S. Gear acquisition syndrome.

I have proper macro pics taken on the a7rV and Sony GM 90mm macro that I uploading soon.

If anyone has any other questions about them let me know and I’ll try my best to a answer 🫡
