Focal Clear Headphones

The open-back design allows sound to pass through the earcups, which prevents pressure buildup and creates a wider, more natural soundstage. This makes the music feel like it is happening around you rather than inside your head, though it does mean sound will leak out to those nearby.

Yes, with an impedance of 55 ohms and high sensitivity, the Focal Clear headphones are relatively easy to drive. While they will work with a phone or laptop, using a dedicated DAC or amplifier will help you get the most out of their dynamic range and detail.

The Capra Comfort Strap is designed to improve weight distribution across the top of your head. Given the 450-gram weight of the headphones, this accessory helps reduce pressure points, making them more comfortable for longer listening sessions.

Absolutely. The Focal Clear is engineered for professional reference quality, offering a neutral, highly detailed sound profile that reveals subtle nuances in your audio. They are a popular choice for producers and engineers who need an honest representation of their mix.

The microfibre earcups are designed for breathability and comfort, but they can collect dust or oils over time. It is best to gently wipe them with a soft, dry cloth after use and store them in a clean, dust-free environment to maintain their texture and performance.

The proprietary 'M'-shaped dome design increases the rigidity of the aluminum/magnesium driver. This allows the headphones to move faster and more accurately, resulting in cleaner transients and less distortion at high volumes.
