Product description

Focal Clear Open-Back High-end Headphones for the Home

Clear Mg also boasts an elegant Chestnut & Mixed-Metals finish, combined with a comfortable leather headband and microfibre ear-pads, for even greater listening pleasure.

The gold standard in Focal open-back headphones, Clear Mg delivers outstanding sound performance and sophisticated, design-led features.

Made in France, these top of the range headphones incorporate exclusive Focal technologies, the result of cutting-edge research in acoustics and Focal savoir-faire. The speaker drivers are composed of a unique magnesium cone, a material that enables sharp, precise, impactful playback that results in stunningly real sound.

The elegant finish of Clear Mg is also unique with a Chestnut and Mixed-Metals design combined with the ultimate comfort of a leather headband and microfibre ear-pads. Supplied with two cables and a carrying case, they have everything you could need to enjoy incredible sound in a quiet environment.

Fully unleashed, the sound is incredibly pure, generating a wide range of emotions for even more listening pleasure.

Comfortable & Ultimate Openers

The solid aluminium yoke perfectly hugs the face whilst the leather and microfibre-covered headband follows a smooth curve regardless of head circumference. The perforated microfibre earpads play a key part in comfort levels whilst also contributing to the open sound of the headphones. This openness is further enabled by the honeycomb design of the ear-cups’ external grille.

Innovation Dedicated to Sound

After four years of research and development, the engineers at Focal have designed a magnesium dome for the Clear Mg speaker drivers. Combined with an ‘M’-shaped dome, this material promotes even more lightness, rigidity and damping, the three success factors for a speaker driver. This innovation brings great dynamics and detail across the full sound spectrum while preserving a neutral and balanced signature. The ‘M’-shaped grille inside the ear-cup follows the curves of the speaker driver for even greater precision.

Premium Materials

Solid aluminium, genuine leather, microfibre: the premium materials chosen for Clear Mg are a clear quality gauge but also provide unique elegance. Timeless and design-led, the honeycomb pattern on the external grille of the earcups plus the Chestnut and Mixed Metals finish are a thing of beauty. Quite simply, they are unique in their sophistication.
