Focal Clear MG Overview

Offering a stylish look, an eminently comfortable fit, and of course, a stellar sound, the Focal Clear MG are open-backed headphones designed for high-end critical listening in your home environment. Everything about these headphones—from their M-shaped magnesium dome drivers to their perforated microfiber earpads—has been engineered to elicit a premium performance. With their chestnut and mixed-metal finish on a honeycomb grille, they also look as stylish as they sound.

Tuned to provide a balanced sound, a wide soundstage, and a precise presentation of instrument, these headphones offer a 5 Hz to 28 kHz frequency response, with careful articulation in the low end for a more naturalistic bass sound. Multiple cables are included to suit both consumer devices and balanced headphone amps. A 3.5mm-to-1/4" adapter is supplied, as is a carrying case.

Comfort and Ergonomics
Perforated microfiber earpads allow for comfort throughout prolonged listening sessions.
A Form that Supports Function
An M-shaped honeycomb internal grille follows the curve of the cone to elicit a precise frequency delineation, particularly in the lows. The honeycomb shape of the design offers an especially open-back feel, so that you can forget you're even wearing headphones.
Balanced, Impactful Sound
Providing a remarkable tonal balance across the full spectrum, the Clear MG offers bass articulation down to the lowest frequencies as well as a precise range of dynamics and impact.
Handy Includes
2 cables are supplied to suit all uses, including one cable that terminates in 3.5mm connection and one that ends in a 4-pin XLR termination. A 1/4" adapter is also included, as is a carrying case.

Focal Clear MG Reviews

Sound quality.

I have been looking over a pair of head earphones, for quite some time. My original Panasonic model had many issues when I attached it to my sound system, all I got was static, and moments where it would be very loud. I could never get the sound adjusted. With Focal Clear MG, the sound is there, not loud. When using these headphones with a mobile phone devise, you definitely need to get an amplifier, it’ll make listening even more enjoyable. In regards to the fit, my ears do not feel crushed when I put them on. Although, they look huge they’re actually quite comfortable. Perfect headphones ,for any kind of music you want to listen too.

Awesome sound, but needed to return =(

I had 3 days since new and the left driver started to make very loud crackling metallic noises when volume 50% and above. Something very stange happened to that driver, I suppose it was a defective unit. I'm in the middle of the return/exchange process, I hope the second unit comes better (perfect, I would assume for this price)... Very unlucky....

It is priced the same as the (black & Red) Clear MG "Professional" but this Chestnut colored one is NOT labelled "Professional". Is it a "Lower Standard Tool" than the professional (or was the person typing in the description negligent to the details)?
Asked by: Joseph
There is a bit of a sound difference. The MG Clear has a slightly more friendly, rounded sound while the Professional has a more analytical, unforgiving sound.

Does these headphones need a break in period , if so for how many hours does it need and how loud should you play them for the break in period to finish ?
Asked by: Michael
Here is the information that the manufacturer provides in the user manual for the Focal Clear MG headphones regarding an initial break-in period: • These headphones require a running-in period in order to operate at their best. • They will run themselves in naturally after several hours of listening time. • If you want to speed up the process, we recommend playing very bassy music through them for at least 24 hours at a relatively high volume. • This will stabilize the speaker drivers and allow you to get the very best out of your headphones.
