Focal Elegia Closed-Back Headphones

“This may well be the most fun Focal headphone we’ve seen yet, and the fact that the Elegia has been achieved without hindering any of its technical abilities makes it a remarkably fine proposition indeed.”

— ED SELLEY, HI-FI CHOICE

“Ultimately, the Elegia is an impressively clean and detailed closed headphone that outperforms both the much more expensive HD820 and the similarly priced Aeon Flow Closed from MrSpeakers, at least in the humble opinion of this reviewer. For those who prefer a slightly warmer, smoother sound, the ZMF Atticus remains an excellent closed alternative to the Elegia. But for anyone looking for neutrality above all in a sub-$1,000 closed headphone, the Elegia is perhaps the best choice currently on the market.”

— JOSHM, AUDIOPHILE STYLE

 

“The easy-to-drive Elegia delivers a wide frequency range from deep bass to the subtlest ambient nuance, helped by the noise-excluding properties of that closed-back design. It’s a great listen, and comfortable to wear, whether at home or on the move.”

— EISA AWARD, 2019-2020
