Focal Utopia Open-Back Reference Headphones

Description

Utopia

Utopia are high-end, premium reference-grade hi-fi headphones, made by Focal.

A world first, Utopia features the only full-range, fully open-back loudspeaker built within a pair of headphones. The model uses pure Beryllium formed into the brand new "M"-shaped dome. The acoustic quality of this exclusive solution allowed Focal to avoid the use of any crossover or passive filtering, achieving an amazing frequency response range from 5Hz to 50kHz.

The listening experience is outstanding in terms of realism, natural sound reproduction, dynamics and clarity. During listening, the headphones virtually disappear, revealing the audio signal with a level of precision never previously achieved.

Another achievement is the ability to adjust both length and ear cup rotation on the yoke, fully integrated into the headband to ensure an extremely sleek, pure design. The true lambskin leather used on the cushions reinforces the classically elegant character and smooth lines, as well as improving comfort and overall performance.

Supplied with rigid carrying case with magnet locking system, 9.8ft (3m) OFC cable, 1x Neutrik® 01/4" (6,35mm) stereo jack, 2x shielded 03⁄8" (9.5mm) Lemo® connectors with self-locking bayonet system.
