FOCAL is a great Audio Co. I bought UTOPIA in USA in 2017 and used it in Pakistan for 05 years to my entire satisfaction. 03 months back, my set became defective, the voice coil on both the cons would break frequently. I approached Focal France for help. They deputed their dealer in Pakistan, Al- Hina Import and Export (Desert Sound) to address my issue. The dealer also worked very diligently on my issue and arranged shipment to and repair in France. I was mentally prepared to pay the intervention charges to Focal as my set was much beyond warranty. However, to my pleasant surprise, they were magnanimous to undertake repairs on my set free of charge. That is the advantage of tagging along with a great company like Focal. I am now enjoying my UTOPIA once again with a new lease of life and with a humble sense of gratitude to Focal and Al-Hina, Pakistan. Good Show.

wow its really nice of them to do so, more companies should respect customers that are wiling to pay top price for their products

The Utopia was getting a little long in the tooth. Glad to see Focal finally did a refresh and new version with the Utopia 2022

@joshuakarp2586 Год назад

I have the Focal Utopia 2016 and love them!

@moon-audio Год назад

Still one of the best in our book! 🙂

@santcer Год назад

Same for me but i have 2020 rev.

@youjohn__ Год назад

I want thisssss

@Maaruks Год назад

22:27 can you please measure how much your cable changes sound signature? sounds like there should be a small bump in high frequency. It should be measurable I think.

@Godbluffer Год назад

Fun little experiment! When you have the Chord Mojo 2 you can turn the 2016/2020 Utopia into the 2022 version by turning the second highest equalizer frequency band, the green one, 1 dB down from neutral. Vice versa this works also to turn the 2022 one into the 2016/2020 version by turning the green equalizer band *up* 1 dB from neutral. Since I prefer the more sparkling sounding 2016/2020 Utopia unequalized on the Chord Mojo 2, the question then is, is the Chord Mojo 2 slightly leaning towards warm in terms of sound signature? If that is the case, you could sorta deduct from that that the 2022 Utopia may in fact be the more neutrally tuned of the two Utopias, potentially making it better upgradable with higher tier DACs? 🤷🏼‍♂️

Thank you for providing the best review of the updated Utopia headphones. Having Focal provide answers was just great. Utopia are very good headphones. However I am wondering how much improvement it is vs the lower cost Focal Clear MG's which are updated headphones over the original Focal Clears.

@moon-audio Год назад

The Utopia is definitely a better headphone. Is it night and day like listening to a $25 earbud vs a $500 headphone, no. But Beryllium makes all the difference in the world. Materials matter at the end of the day. Beryllium properties are much higher quality than Magnesium in terms of strength, weight etc etc. This equates to better transients and so on. The Clear and Clear MG are closer in performance than the Clear MG to the Utopia.

@dreamstormPL Год назад

Try original Focal Utopia pads on Focal Clear MG and better cable (I have Toxic Silver Widow) and Focal Clear MG sounds amazing. I didn't hear Utopia but by friend's opinion is that this configuration sound very close to Utopia. I hope @Moon Audio will review such pairing. I have Clear MG connected to Mojo 2 and it just shines.

An audio company here in Australia, had a sale on the old ones and was $3500 from $5500 man if I had the money, I'd snatched them headphones up 🎧

@a.t.2698 Год назад

That’s correct mate. I was told 6 more old ones coming today & I ordered 1. I had a demo & awesome! That’s why price down due new ones coming. 👏

@TheSilversurfer61 Год назад

Have also bought an old stock one from A2A and it’s my fourth and best pair so far. Fantastic deal.

@jamesmarks4546 Год назад

Indeed - Addicted to Audio - I was all over that! A bit of a splurge perhaps but it's not every day you see $5500 headphones going for $3500, even if the new model was imminent. Now the new model is $6999 in Australia :-(

@turkandproud69 Год назад

I bought mine about 2-3yrs back for 3999 at A2A. Now they are 5500. And new 2022 utopia is 7k. Beyond a joke

@TheSilversurfer61 Год назад

@@jamesmarks4546 the new Utopia22 is NZ$8299.- in New Zealand. Insane for a minor improvement if at all.

@allansh828 Год назад

is the difference between Utopia 2016 and Utopia 2022 similar to that of Elegia and Celestee?

@moon-audio Год назад

That's a decent analogy, as the Celestee is warmer and fuller sounding than the Elegia. Some people like one headphone over the other, while others enjoy both the Elegia and the Celestee. Same with the Utopias!

@rustygates3367 Год назад

Wasn't the originals voice coil all copper? Now its copper-al?

@moon-audio Год назад

The original's voice coil was all aluminum. It's mentioned around 11:30 in the video. Now it is aluminum and copper. 🙂

@x32i77 Год назад

The utopia will I think still clip in the song Traust from the band Heilung at over 90 db

@robertreynolds2212 Год назад

Can’t wait for one of these to pop up on Head-Fi for $1000 off.

Camerton Audio BINOM-ER Headphones are the best on the planet period ! They sell them in the USA NOW !! Sound Amazing with the Mal Valve Head Amp Five ! Best-Kept Secret on the Planet !! The Camerton Audio Home Audio Speakers sound Amazing TOO !😍🤩🤫

@johnlaser9965 Год назад

I could care less about the box. If it was cheap, I don't care. I don't store in a box and don't listen to the box. Some of the changes seem interesting and will wait for more unbiased reports.

@michaelp.3485 Год назад

When you spend $5000 on a luxury item like this, EVERY aspect matters, including presentation.

@20puskinas1992 Год назад

@@michaelp.3485 maybe it matter for your ego only. I take build quality over presentation any day.

@afksjaflksjalkfjlksfj Месяц назад

@@20puskinas1992 you're entirely missing the point. They were never talking about a zero sum situation where if you lose presentation you gain build quality and vice versa. If you pay five grand for a headphone, everything has to be exceptional-no compromises in anything. Small things like an elevated unboxing experience is a promise from the brand that everything to the finest details has been heeded.

That new stock cable is ass!

@BrJD-ii4iv Год назад

Moon audio never misses a chance to promote their overhyped cables … 😅

@robwilkins72 Год назад

It's literally their business? Lol they'd be dumb not to

@adamgreenhill110 Год назад

I'm a little disappointed in the design - from afar, they look more like Focal Elex. They don't stand out like the OG Utopias did. They only look good very close up, in person

@x32i77 Год назад

They should have lowered the price . No one will spend 5000€ on a dynamic driver headphone. You can get a Susvara, lcd5 , LCD 4 , Dan Clark Audio Expanse for that kind of money which will sound better because they are planars. For 2999€ this will be a great headphone but not for 5k€ . Big no no .

@soulfulfool Год назад

headphones dont sound better just because they are planars lol its only your opinion, kind of stupid to say to be honest
