Focal Elear and Utopia Review / Preview With Measurements - Head-Fi TV
Aug 11, 2016 at 2:07 PM Post #1,832 of 5,632
This IS Christmas morning! Sitting in the listening area at Source AV, breaking in my Elears with a Galaxy S7, alternating between using their Liquid Carbon with SE jack and going straight into the phone with a Grado adapter. Only using the Galaxy S7 with UAPP in Android mode; Dragonfly Red not here yet.

My S7 has never sounded so good, even without the use of the LC. Been playing range of music from Daft Punk, Norah Jones, Santana, Bjork, and others for over an hour. So very happy...

Hi,

Subject to Elear. Does anyone know if the grill can be taken off easily? The reason is the outside design is not 100% satisfy enough. It's still lacking some looks even though the Focal symbol is right there. I wish Focal should hire an Italian designer to initally spot check Focal design. It lacks the "spark " moment for me. Doing some spray paint or something to make it shine or YOU thing.
Utopia is as good looking design as it is and no more space left.
Good to know if someone could think of something.

That will be your new job!

Thinking of doing it on an old hd600 first and give it to my son then do the real task on Elear.
If it doesn't look good then change my user name to Fiascoman. He he.

 
Fiascoman, love it, sounds like a good name for a superhero whose super power will be hilarity.

Ok gang! The shipment is out and on its way to a bunch of you head/fier's. We have 2 Utopia left but my bet is they will be gone by tomorrow. I should have taken a picture of our loading doc before UPS picked everything. A mountain of headphones.

Is this a forum or a sales floor?

Actually this is just a sales platform, where people keep getting hyped on a regular basis and not only about the Focals. Someone needs to keep buyers in the hype loop, so headphone companies, "independant" bloggers and event participants (ho ho ho), responsibles behind this forum and shop owners team up to get their piece of cake. Doesn't mean there aren't any valid or real opinions here, but it's hard to distinguish. The "keeping people updated thing" moments ago is just another example of the show running in front :)

Thank
Congratulations. Marketing including the hype train worked perfectly then. Don't forget to mention limited availability or something, otherwise no one might buy that stuff in the future :wink:
thank you! Yes they will be limited until October
