For more than 35 years, Focal has been designing and manufacturing home audio loudspeakers, car audio speaker drivers and amplifiers, monitoring loudspeakers for recording studios, and more recently, headphones.
The model Utopia is unique due to the world's first open full-range drivers with M-cups made of pure beryllium, which allows you to get the best sound resolution.
Focal's Utopia headphones live up to their $3,999 price.
Focal Utopia
Focal engineers have pushed the boundaries of acoustic innovation and succeeded in delivering the listening experience of the finest Focal loudspeakers. The result: a transducer with a frequency response ranging from 5 Hz to over 50 kHz.
Design is also key factor, be it in terms of how the headphones are used, comfort, as well as aesthetics. Another achievement of Utopia is a new type of construction, in which the usually movable forks of the ear pads are integrated into the headband for the most refined design. Complementing the overall feeling of great design are comfortable ear cushions with a natural lambskin finish.
The beryllium driver is highly rigid and light, allowing it to be fast without distorting the sound.
Such freedom as in Focal Utopia has never been given to any other dynamic in the world. The ear cup is completely open at the back. I had to sacrifice soundproofing in / out of the earpiece, but the end result - transparency, a feeling of absolute freedom - was worth it. As well as not in vain was the struggle for every gram of weight: the final 490 g became possible thanks to the use of carbon in the manufacture of forks, cups and headband.
