Focal Elegia

To enjoy an incredible listening experience in total privacy, without worrying about a noisy environment disturbing this moment of pleasure, this is the promise made and kept by Elegia. In these high-end circum-aural closed-back headphones, Focal has combined the best of the skilfully created technologies, developed and assembled in the workshops in France. Elegia incorporates a new generation of exclusive full-range speaker drivers capable of operating in a small inner environment while ensuring exceptional dynamics and the most precise sound reproduction. Whether it’s the motor, the frameless copper voice coil, the dedicated 110-micron surround, or the “M”-shape inverted dome, Elegia's speaker drivers are a mass of innovation dedicated to sound purity. When connected to portable audio players, these headphones are incredibly high-performing. Zero resonance and excellent soundproofing ensure that the naturalness and realism of the sound is striking from the first few seconds of listening. Loading a speaker driver into a small room makes it extremely sensitive to its environment. The engineers’ 40 years of expertise and know-how led to specific work being undertaken on the vents to avoid limiting the frequency response in the low range and thus properly manage the airflow. With Elegia, there is no resonance to disturb the listening experience, and the closed earpads round off the remarkable soundproofing. With its well-mastered geometry, Elegia's headband moulds perfectly to the head, providing optimal grip for on-the-go use. The 20mm memory foam microfibre earpads, as well as the yoke that also moulds perfectly to the wearer’s face shape, are both key contributors to the headphones’ supreme comfort. They are also incredibly good-looking, with noble materials such as leather, solid aluminium, and microfibre finishing off Elegia to a tee.
