The Focal Clear remains a benchmark open-back in Focal’s lineup, prized for its silky highs and tight, musical bass. At €999, this asking price sits well above the typical used market anchor: the median for recent EUR listings is €782, with the 75th percentile at €898 and the 25th at €617. This listing is ambitious—roughly €111 over the 75th percentile and €217 above the median—so it’s not a bargain unless the condition is pristine and accessories are complete.
That said, the Clear is still a compelling buy for its balanced, non-fatiguing sound and comfortable fit, making it a reliable choice for long sessions. If this is original-owner stock with all cables (XLR, 1/4”, 3.5mm) and the box, the extra cost buys confidence and completeness. Watch for pad wear and cable strain points; if those are clean and everything’s included, it becomes a fair, though not cheap, opportunity for a well-loved audiophile favorite.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
Focal traces its roots to 1979 in Saint-Étienne, France, where engineer and hi-fi enthusiast Jacques Mahul founded the company in a small workshop within his father's precision engineering firm. Initially operating as JMlab, it began crafting bespoke speaker drivers, with early models like the DB13 earning acclaim for their compact yet dynamic bass performance. This heritage of acoustic innovation and French craftsmanship propelled Focal's evolution, marked by pivotal 1990s expansions under Gérard Chrétien's leadership, yielding iconic references such as the Vega and Grande Utopia loudspeakers that redefined audiophile standards.
The brand's core focus remains high-fidelity loudspeakers, where it excels through in-house driver design featuring breakthroughs like inverted-dome tweeters, Polyglass cones, flax diaphragms, and beryllium tweeters in its Utopia line. Focal has diversified into professional studio monitors, premium headphones, car audio systems, and select accessories, all emphasizing noble materials and meticulous engineering. While not delving into amplifiers, turntables, DACs, or cables, its speaker-centric portfolio spans home, mobile, and pro applications with unwavering commitment to purity of sound.
Positioned firmly in the high-end market, Focal commands respect as a world leader among discerning hi-fi buyers for its benchmark performance, international awards, and "Made in France" prestige. No longer a niche boutique, it blends heritage appeal with cutting-edge technology, attracting serious audiophiles who prioritize transparency, dynamics, and emotional depth over mass-market compromises.
