No distortion at all? Do you listen at high volume?i have had 2 cables that broke on me. as for the drivers, they have been fine for me (went thru 2 diffrerent copies)
negative. i listen at around 75 db spl. no distortion afaik although i havent used mine for a while ever since i got my speakersNo distortion at all? Do you listen at high volume?
more likely the nature of design, in all focal headphone, commonly for 85 ohm series (elex, elear, utopia) that have very thin cable compared to other focal series (clear & elegia).. voice coil cable are floated and shaked, will be broken in certain times. so the $3000 stellia using 35 ohm. more rigid. herewith a broken point, broken at the same spot in all focal series headphones. this is utopia driver
Are you living in EU? If you didn't buy the Elex straight from Massdrop, yes I'm afraid using warranty won't be that easy...Oh and I made the stupid decision to import a pair of Focal headphones, so warranty claims is going to be a nightmare.
What did you get instead?As far as I'm concerned, I sold mine. Very good sound, but confort was an issue due to the weight
Nothing for now. Honestly, I'm tired about headphones for home listening . Owned probably almost 30 pairs for the last 5 years. There is always either the sound or the confort which doesn't fit...What did you get instead?
My left driver has suddenly stopped making any sound. I did some poking around with a multimeter, and it looks like the connection from +ve to -ve terminal through the voice coil is broken. I noticed that the voice coil connection seems very delicate and might be the reason for failure, but I haven't been able to establish whether its the voice coils connection with the terminals that is broken, or the voice coil itself is damaged now. Considering that the wire itself is insulated, I'm having a hard time exactly pin pointing the point of failure and potentially fixing it.

Adolf, do you think the problem might be in the connection to the terminals as shown in your picture? Do you think it would be worth a shot to re-solder the connection by myself?
