Wow this looks super nice

I love my WA22, what tubes are you running?

No I haven't heard the Clears, just the Utopias, and the Utopias were the only Focal headphone I had heard before the Elex. I think the reviews online and on Youtube are accurate. The more they run in the better they sound, they can shout a little at the start but after running in they seem better, but I shouldn't be listening at those levels anyway. I think a high impedance output amp helps with the bass but it doesn't really need it. Sound stage is good. I did pick up a used pair that was only a week old. The cables are very nice but stiff as hell and can be annoying. One thing for sure, the Elex and Utopias pair very well with a Woo Audio tube amp. A friend tried his Utopias on my WA22, he bought one the following week.

I just got a pair of Focal Elex, they are comparable to the Utopias and the HD650's somewhat. I came across them by accident when looking at Utopia reviews after listening to Benjet's former pair and am very happy with them. They are running in, sound better and better. I think they are a very cost effective purchase compared to the Utopias and cheaper again against the Clears, not to mention better looking.

interesting

Nice, looks like it lights up more than the standard tube. I have a WA22, love the Woo Audio gear. What are you upgrading your headphones to? The Focal range seems to pair well.

@Benjet @Rickuslooks interesting

Wow, now that's the sub to pair them with, go hard or go home alright

Me too, enough room for you and your girl, time to lock out everyone else.

Wow very nice

Wow, won't take up much real estate either?

Hi mate, pm'd you.

They are big but totally worth it. I had the Northridge range prior to what I have now, sometimes you just can't beat size. Great dynamics and punch. For this price it's a great starter package. GLWTS.

Hi Mate Welcome to the rabbit hole mate, whats your interest? Hifi, headfi?

This is quite good if you like old school blues
