Focal Celestee - Closed-Back Headphones - Official Discussion Thread

Do i like this?

-No-

Because I love this! :smiling_face_with_three_hearts:

For me, these headphones are what is commonly referred to as “guilty pleasure”.

Are they perfect, no.

But it is always a lot of fun to listen to music with these headphones, because they certainly present music with a slight coloration, but they do it with a very high quality.

The bass is dry as dust and hits so hard that you can feel it physically.

The mids are truly present, but by no means overemphasized.

And the heights move pleasantly at the “still pain-free” border area, so that you never actually feel the “stinging” of through sharp points in the higher pitches.

In addition, there is an “above-average” stage for “closed headphones” and a very clean and precise processing of the materials.


I recently took a look at the crinacles headphone review list:

This caused me to shake my head a bit, because he rated these headphones extremely badly.
With this opinion he is very lonely :disappointed_relieved:

In the reviews I have read and viewed, these headphones are rated as “very good” internationally and I can confirm this from my own experience.


At that time, I was faced with the decision to buy the 9200 or the Fostex TH900mk2.
After listening to it extensively on a trial basis, I decided on the Denons.


By the way, the Focal Celestee was ordered “blind” by me, because I trust Focal based on my previous experience.
