High-end French audio brand Focal has launched new reference headphones, the Clear Mg. Designed for Hi-Fi enthusiasts and discerning music lovers, these new open-back home cans represent four years of research and development into an all new magnesium dome design for the 40mm speaker drivers used in the Clear Mg.
This new alloy is said to have greater lightness, rigidity and damping, core to the performance of these premium cans. The result is said to be fine, precise and impactful.
Although ideally used with a headphone amplifier/DAC, Clear Mg headphones can also be used without compromise with a portable audio player, says the company.
Adopting a stylish chestnut and metal finish, the Clear Mg blend classic and modern aesthetics, with a build quality and finish that looks predictably sumptuous. To be honest, we’ve yet to see any Focal kit that wasn’t drop dead gorgeous.
