Hi-fi open-back headphones for the home
Experience sensational listening quality at home with Utopia, the exceptional headphones made in France by Focal, and the fruit of over 40 years of sound innovation. Unveiled in 2016, it returns in 2022 with a reworked design and improvements to the sound for even more music-inspired emotion.
Its exclusive cutting-edge technology, such as full-range speaker drivers with pure Beryllium ‘M’-shaped dome, completely open at the back, offer a listening experience with striking realism, neutrality, dynamics and transparency. Focal engineers have also developed a copper and aluminium voice coil for a revamped sound signature and incredible reliability.
The listening experience is enhanced by a sleek design and exceptional materials. Combining comfort and sophistication, Utopia is made from genuine leather, aluminium, forged recycled carbon, ‘honeycomb’-design grilles and Black Chrome-coloured rings – an array of details lending these French headphones a unique look and sound. Like the symbolic Yin & Yang depicted on the ear-cups, Utopia embodies beautiful design and high-performing sound in perfect harmony. More than just headphones, this is a sound icon.
Utopia incorporates full-range speaker drivers with a pure Beryllium ‘M’-shaped dome, completely open at the back. Focal engineers have risen to the challenge of delivering the sensation of listening to the best Focal loudspeakers! The result is a set of speaker drivers that run with zero active or passive correction, from 5Hz to over 50 kHz. The headphones totally disappear, leaving audio signal reproduction that is unrivalled in its purity.
Focal engineers have also developed a voice coil – the centre piece of a speaker driver, along with the cone – made from copper for reliability and aluminium for lightness: an evolution synonymous with the revamped sound signature, and as uncompromising as ever.
Utopia is made from premium, sophisticated materials. The yoke, made from forged, recycled carbon, is an elegant stroke, whilst making the headphones more lightweight and distributing their weight more evenly across the head. The genuine leather headband and perforated memory foam ear pads – also leather-bound – provide comfort and softness. And finally, exceptional headphones merit top of the range accessories: Utopia comes in a faux-leather case with a thermoformed carry case and two high-fidelity cables (10ft and 5ft / 3m and 1.5m) for using the headphones at home with an amplifier or on the go with Lemo® connectors and a Jack adapter.
Utopia is a combination of sobriety and distinction. Adopting the aesthetics of Focal's open-back (Clear Mg) and closed-back (Stellia and Celestee) headphones, it is adorned with honeycomb grilles on the outside and inside of the ear-cups. In addition to its Black Chrome-coloured rings – now screwed on from the inside – it delivers subtle and sophisticated aesthetic details, such as red glimpses of the speaker drivers’ motor unit or the Yin & Yang effect visible on the outer case, symbolising design and technology in perfect harmony.
• Black faux leather case
• High-Fidelity cables:
- 5ft. (1.5m) cable, designed to be portable with an unbalanced 1/8” (3.5mm) stereo jack connector and two Lemo®connectors
- 10ft. (3m) cable, ideal for use in the home on a high-end amplifier, thanks to its balanced 4-pin XLR connector and two Lemo®connectors.
- 1 x Jack adapter, 1/8" (3.5mm) female – 1/4” (6.35mm) male.
• A lightweight, hard-back carry case in black fabric
Optional: a stand allowing you to display the Utopia headphones indoors
These headphones require a running-in period in order to operate at their best.
They will run themselves in naturally after several hours of listening time.
If you want to speed up the process, we recommend playing very bassy music through them for at least 24 hours at a relatively high volume.
This will stabilise the speaker drivers and allow you to get the very best out of your headphones.
Made in England, Uniti Atom Headphone Edition offers hand-crafted British audio excellence, letting you get the very best from your headphones. All you have to do is connect the device to a WiFi network then plug in your headphones and you’re ready to listen to music in high resolution and access numerous integrated streaming services.
大乌二代音质非常棒
非常好的耳机
would love personal sound correction like the Bathys have via Mimi. I have the Naim Uniti Atom Headphone edition which could add the Mimi correction via a firmware update
Lifelike delicious experience.
These headphones are absurdly good; they manage to transmit an energy and excitement that no other headphones can, closely rivaling the experience of large speakers in an acoustically treated room. They deliver extreme quality, precision, and musicality.
Great Headphone. Best I have ever owned.
Great details, quality construction. Focal Fan
Fantastic headphones, best I've owned.
Amp/Source is important to get this headphone to it's optimal performance. It can be hit or miss depending on your setup. Sounds much better on my tube amp than my SS.
These are the Best Headphone I have ever heard. While the Stellia is fantastic and luxurious beyond compare, the Utopia has no equal.
It's definitely the best headphones in the world :)
Absolutely Phenomenal!
I Have upgraded from Elear, to Stellia and then to Utopia. Its worth it.
非常好
perfect Headphone
Very good
Well, I don't do reviews. There're are plenty out there very well made to read and make you an image of it.
The only thing I'd like to comment, which is really amazing to me, considering I have another pair of HP (a better one IMHO), is that you're treated so gentle and kind that each time I listen to them I almost fall asleep (and that's actually the reason I bought a 2nd paire of HP...lol), no matter how eager I am to enjoy a piece of well known or new music. 4 stars for that reason. I love to enjoy my music, not in need of a sleep pill.
Anyway, for the same reason, that is magic !
Top headphones. I love them. Refined sound and stylish look. Well done. Many thanks.
Magnifiche
听感:
直接插上卡农平衡线(解码一体机9038芯片)
播放玛丽亚凯莉的 Emotions,很舒服,中频饱满,高频无毛刺,低频到位,声音密度厚度 都很好,这是一个刚开箱还没有煲过的耳机,效果已经很不错,以往新买来耳机 都会有点这样那样的问题,需要煲一周或者更久才会 一点点改善,2022大乌开声就不错。
播放一张陈奕迅的孤勇者,舒服,一点不会感觉吵和乱,
再放一张交响乐,空间感很好,乐器定位清晰,横向声场 不是非常的宽广,但也够,纵向声场层次很好,很立体,钢琴小提琴声音真的舒服,有力度。
换一张经典的 蔡琴 被遗忘的时光,感觉就站在你面前唱,声音很饱满,丝滑。
2022新版大乌耳机的耳机孔设计的很赞,冬天听不会顶着衣领,也更方便装了转接头的耳机线,做工满分、直接开箱未煲的状态下已经很惊艳,卡农平衡耳机线的声音 有一种模拟味道,很舒服,一分钱一分货,2022新版大乌值得拥有
Initially auditioned the 1st generation Utopia and was very impressed but by the time the purchase decision arrived these had been replaced by the Utopia 2022 model. Whilst at first hesitant wrt the increased cost, a further audition removed any remaining doubts - these are quite simply stunning, a headphone par excellence.
If within your budget, even at a tight squeeze, do not hesitate, the Utopia 2022’s are the very best headphones I have ever listened to, period!
Best headphones I’ve ever had
Excellent headphone experience
超级漂亮的旗舰耳机 心仪很久之后终于下决心购买,希望可以尽快收到耳机架
