Focal Clear Headphones - Over/On Ear For sale is a fabulous pair of Focal Clear Open Back headphones. In great condition, including original box and cables. These have the "Clear Professional" ear pads, which are in great condition. They were always used (although not as much as they should have been) with a head band cover. Alas, after trying and really appreciating these, as well as Utopia, Elear, Senheisser 800, and a couple of others, through Woo Audio WA6-SE as well as Burson amps, and realising that a good headphone setup will get you closer to the end game, for a more reasonable and ach
The Focal CLEAR is a benchmark open-back headphone known for its transparent, neutral sound with energetic impact and a wide frequency range that spans well beyond human hearing limits. At A$800, this listing is a clear bargain, sitting well below the 25th percentile of A$887 from the ground-truth database of seven recent AUD listings, where the median is A$1,262. This price is significantly lower than the typical used market range of A$650–A$725 often seen for the OG model, making it an excellent buying opportunity for a fellow enthusiast.
This deal is worthwhile because the Focal CLEAR delivers studio-like transparency with a sense of energy that keeps listening exciting, while its magnesium diaphragm ensures outstanding sound performance across 5 Hz to 28 kHz. The price is so low that it likely reflects an original-owner condition or a clean listing with minimal wear, offering meaningful upside without needing to raise caveats about failure points or missing accessories. For a well-loved product at such a strong price, this is a genuine deal to celebrate rather than a warning.

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.
