Focal Utopia: The High End of High End Gets Even Better

Focal's flagship open-back headphones, Utopia, reveal a deep soundstage that uncovers never-before-heard detail from your favorite songs, soundtracks, and mixes. And, thanks to several design improvements, these world-class headphones are better than ever. They boast their predecessor's "M"-shaped dome drivers, but with a brand-new voice-coil design for better performance and added reliability. A forged carbon yoke, made from recycled carbon, supplies you with a contemporary, sophisticated look and amazing, lightweight comfort. Complete with leather-effect packaging, a rugged carrying case, high-fidelity and unbalanced cables, and a 1/4-inch jack adapter, Focal Utopia circumaural headphones will transform your listening experience to a new level of audio paradise.

40mm "M"-profile Beryllium dome drivers

The newest iteration of Focal's Utopia still include the company's "M"-shaped pure Beryllium-dome drivers, which are vaunted for their crisp transients and spine-tingling bass. This design eclipses its predecessor, however, thanks to a brand-new voice-coil design meticulously crafted from 30% copper and 70% aluminum. This provides you with unprecedented performance and reliability. You also get "M"-shaped speaker driver grilles that follow the curve of the domes. The result is a breathtaking 5Hz–50kHz frequency response that pushes the boundaries of what is acoustically possible, but with reliability that's second to none.

Open-ear design won't isolate you from your room

One of the reasons monitoring through headphones can be jarring is that it removes the listener from the room. That is not the case with Focal Utopias. The open-back design allows the drivers to breathe and react with the environment for better airiness and a more open feel, without the ill effects of untreated acoustic spaces. The vented ear cushions play a big part in this transparency. You also get a forged carbon yoke, made from recycled carbon, for a modern, sophisticated look and exceptional, lightweight comfort. Beyond that, Utopia's honeycomb grilles and black-chrome rings highlight subtle design details, like these headphones' yin/yang on their outer case, plus the back-and-red double grilles on their speaker drivers.

Comes with premium accessories

Focal Utopias come with a value-laden cache of premium accessories. For starters, these headphones are delivered in leather-effect packaging, while a lightweight, rigid carrying case makes transporting them a breeze. You also get a 10-foot, high-fidelity 4-pin XLR cable; a 5-foot, unbalanced 1/8-inch stereo cable; and a 1/4-inch jack adapter.
