Offered is „Focal Elegia Kopfhörer Schwarz“ by Focal as second-hand device from the category „Wire bound Headphone“ on audio-markt.de - the online market place for high-end. The advert with the number 1651100763 ends on 09.12.2026 at 14:49 o'clock.
Good condition at €349 puts this Focal Elegia below the comparable-listing 25th percentile of €349 only nominally—effectively the low end of the market—and €21 under the €370 median. That makes it a fair-to-good buy rather than an automatic bargain, with the clean condition doing useful work at this price. It is certainly not ambitious against the €387 75th percentile.
The Elegia remains a compelling closed-back for detailed listening: its metal construction, comfortable pads, precise imaging and unusually spacious presentation are genuine strengths. Its 35-ohm load is easy to drive, while the closed design suits home, office or shared spaces. Check that the detachable cable and hard case are included, since those accessories add practical value; also listen for whether its leaner bass balance suits your taste. At €349, a healthy, complete example is worth serious consideration.

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.
