Focal is well known for its high-end electronic devices. But the Focal premium products come at a very expensive price. The Focal Utopia is a perfect headset. Of course, with design in advanced technology and premium materials. They are therefore worth the price.
Focal has been building high-end audio products for decades, and Focal Utopia is a high-end headphone manufactured by Focal. The ultra-strong structure with carbon fiber ensures that the Focal Utopia will last for years on everyday use.
Everything about this headset remains premium as well. The earpads are extremely soft. They also have plenty of soft padding under the headband and in the ear cup. Professional-grade quality cable and thick.
Supreme soft and comfortable listening experience with soft padding with lambskin leather. One thing that those who would like to buy Focal Utopia headphones have to know is that they are heavy over-ear headphones. It comes in at 0.5 kg or a bit more than 17 oz.
However, although heavyweight, this headphone padding with soft-feeling leather and a good volume of padding. That helps you get a pretty comfortable fit indeed.
The sound quality is the main point for those who want to buy Focal Utopia Open-Back headphones. Come to understand each other clearly: These high-end headphones give sound incredible and amazing realism. They also offer sound clarity and neutrality.
The headphones deliver gloriously natural frequency response (5 – 50KHz), splendid detail, and an ultra-wide soundstage. Utopia, these audiophile headphones are truly open-backed and full-range speaker drivers with 40mm pure Beryllium form “M-shaped” domes drivers. If you expected the full specification of high-end headphones, these open-back headphones will not disappoint you.
Normally, come to review high-end headphones have to look at the level of bass, midrange, and low individually. But these high-end headphones do everything very well.
Bass: The bass response is strong and fast. For some headsets, bass response is a bit slower to the low end, but not the high-end audiophile headsets like the Focal Utopia open-back headphones. The bass response is also plenty natural and still gives the sound very clear and detailed.
Midrange: The sound midrange is very clear and natural sounding, with warmth on the low-mids, and the clearest hi-mids.
The headphones offer an amazing ability to deliver dynamics precisely and easily. Even though you listen to jazz, pop, rock, or piano sounds, you will feel the precise music. The Focal Utopia are open-back headphones style, that’s means they make for more natural feel too.
In our opinion, these headphones make for home use and without much ambient noise. Hence, please don’t expect them will give the sound best out in public.
No matter how good is this headphone and how great and luxurious the design is. But they come at a very expensive price (the price is nearly $4000). Some other Focal headphones, which are cheaper than this item, are Focal Clear headphones.
