Herein we see the absurdity of pseudo-audiophilism. Other than color schemes and accessories, there is no difference between the MG and MG Professional. They're exactly the same beneath their shells. This is the official statement from Focal. Videos (and the similar online review) like this are misleading and could send readers down the wrong purchase path. Buy the style or accessories you like best, the sound is the same.

@asgiov 2 года назад

Yeah... the differences are likely due to expectation bias and maybe even manufacturing variation... Given that Focal themselves say they are the same aside from color and included accessories. Maybe try some blind testing with some other people and see if they can tell a difference. That being said, I agree the Clears in general are some great sounding headphones.

Those have the same sound cause they are the same headphones just in other colors. You can ask focal if you want to.

@suisiruy 3 года назад

Thank You for this amazing comparison. Useful, complete, and quite rare. I'm really tempted to buy the "non pro" Mg version. I tried the Elegia, and I didn't like it. Too much congestion in the mid-high region, and too fatiguing to my ears. I wonder if the presentation of the Elegia in some way resemble the straight forward one that you mentioned about the MgPro. If it's the case, maybe the "normal" Mg would fit my tastes. I would pair it with the Singxer sa-1, which also has a very pleasant and smooth sound.

@mattrismatt 2 года назад

The Elegia has immense potential, but unfortunately, are held back by their staggeringly-terrible stock earpads. Real leather earpads (with some perforations on the inner areas of the pads) completely transform their sound.

@Fubboo 3 года назад

Would either of these be a significant upgrade to the HD 660s?

@-gid-9072 3 года назад

Depends on what you mean by significant, in these price tiers the difference is not as notable as upgrading from a pair of 50$ headphones to HD 660s. I got my set of Focal Clear MG a few weeks ago and I have been preferring them over my HD 660s for sure but if it's worth it all depends on your wallet. I have tried both on my single ended JDS labs EL stack 2 and balanced on my Topping D90 with a Singxer SA-1 amp. In my opinion they are clearly better, but it's up to you to decide if you're willing to spend the money to find out for yourself. If you have a local HIFI retailer where you can try them in person that is always the best option IMO. Audio experience is very subjective so don't put too much faith in reviews online.

@gomez3420 3 года назад

I do not know you and have never heard or seen one of your reviews before but you seem knowledgeable and fluent in "Headphone Speak and lingo" BUT....am not sure how credible to make of your assessment on the audible difference between the Clear MG and the Clear MG Pro. Focal states that the construction of the two headphones are identical with the same specifications except for the colors of the pads, the leather and the metal. The main differences that I can tell are in the accessories/cables and extra set of pads provided. I worry that the moniker of "PRO" imparts to you some preconceived notion of what a professional headphone should be compared to a so called "audiophile" headphone.
