"Unarguably one of the finest headphones on the planet. Focal has aimed for the moon when it comes to performance, directing its flagship offering straight at the very best the headphone establishment can manage. It has succeeded.

The cable supplied with Utopia was specifically selected for its capability to respect the original audio signal, such as its very low impedance (< 90 mΩ/metre). It is totally symmetrical in order to offer extremely low crosstalk (< 70 picofarads). The shielding protects it from electromagnetic interference and allows for a longer cable (3m/9 ft.). Finally, the 9.5mm Lemo® connector and the 6.35mm Neutrik® stereo jack enable easy customisation.
Utopia are unique they are the world’s first audiophile headphones featured totally open-backed full-range speaker drivers with pure Beryllium ’M’-shaped domes. They meet all the requirements expected of high-end headphones due to their sophisticated and elegant design and to purposeful materiality, such as the carbon fibre yoke and true lambskin leather ear cushions.
A true achievement with Utopia is the removal from the conventional rotation included on the yoke and its integration into the headband to ensure a total purity of the design. The true lambskin leather, used on the cushions, reinforces the character of classically elegant lines, as well as the expression of comfort and overall performances.
Unveiled in 2016, Utopia quickly made its mark as world-leading high-end audio headphones. In its constant quest for excellence, Focal has developed the case for this exceptional product by offering an additional carefully finished rigid carrying case and two cables: a 10 ft. (3m) balanced cable with a 4-point XLR connector, and a 33/8 ft. (1.2m) mini-jack cable with a 1/4” (6.35mm) jack adapter.
