Customer reviews:

Focal Celestee

The headphone is beautifully crafted, loved the fit and a nice clear sound. I liked how it gives you nice deep sounding bass in a nice crisp way without bleeding into the mid section.

A very well balanced set of headphones. Great pairing and it works well with an iPhone.

The headband is quite tight for people with big heads so it is difficult to use for a long time.

Focal Elegia

The headphone doesn’t bloat the mid bass region and gives a more realistic version of what the recording contains.

The sound is clear but not booming bass.

It would be great if the cord was long enough.
