Very good condition Focal Stellia closed back headphones. They come with the original packaging, carry case, cables, and paperwork. Also included is an upgraded cable from Marco Cables (4 cores of 6n 22awg copper) – see link below, and which cost $550 AUD, plus a wooden headphone stand. Tot...
At A$2,500, this sits right on the median of recent used AUD listings and just inside the normal spread, so it reads as a fair ask rather than a bargain or an ambitiously priced piece. Against what these cost new, that’s a sensible entry point for a premium closed-back if the set is clean and complete.
The appeal here is straightforward: the tuning is refined, the build is genuinely luxury-grade, and it’s one of the stronger options for listeners who want serious detail without giving up comfort. If pads, headband, case, and cable are all present and the cups are cosmetically tidy, this is the kind of used buy that makes sense for someone wanting top-tier sound without paying new-stock pricing.

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.
