they are called magnetic veils now :)
WHEN CAN I BUY THE MEZE ALBAS!?!?!? I cannot find any information anywhere on a release date. Very excited.
Can’t wait. Contemplating whether or not to pre-order. The original Susvara is my all time fav headphone.
Just traded up to Susvara from HE1000SE. Finally understand what all the reviews mean by sounding the most natural. It's pretty stunning and once you hear it you can't unhear it. Going to enjoy for a while. But so glad I now have an upgrade path that isn't the Shangri-La senior as that one is currently out of my price range. Really looking forward to reviews of the new Susara Unveiled and what elevation it brings to the legendary Susvara sound.
I'll be there on Sunday! Looking forward to it! It's been too long since the last one
With some brands and models having such a large circumaular size, why hasn't a coaxial system appeared? With a woofer dedicated to one way and centered on the same axis as the treble driver with its also dedicated way. ¿? Positive and negative wire for each component, either to an external passive crossover or some DSP and amplification combo proposal.
2 hours! Wow! XD
How's the bass on Anni 2023? Compared to Volur/RN6/Raven?
Thank you for this, the Sus Unvy is a big deal indeed
C’mon Jude, these are the best gear videos on UA-cam. Please consider a weekly video featuring one or two products. Both of you are wonderful. Kudos. See you in SoCal.
Looking forward to CanJam London 2024😂
I’ll be there, what are you gonna try?
First of all I want to spend more time with the Austrian Audio the Composer, I really like it when I heard it before. Also the Empyrean 2, Focal Hadenys, and hopefully I can find the old AKG K812 and Sony Z1R and Sony MV1. I like open back full size easy to drive headphones now.@@ElNINETEENTH
Canjam in india would be wonderful. New benchmark planar born.
Immanis > Susvara Unveiled
You must have been among the small handful of people who heard the new Sus in Munich. Please share your thoughts!
Heard lmmanis at Canjam NYC 2024. Susvara original and Tungsten sound better than Immanis
what are those tube amps at the back please? awesome video
In the middle is a custom designed, custom built electrostatic tube amplifier from legendary builder Frank Cooter. Behind Jude is the Woo Audio WA7 Fireflies, and behind Brian is the Auris Euterpe.
@@axelcloris thanks!
I think I know what’s coming after the Susvara unveiled. Perhaps the HE1000 unveiled and the Arya unveiled.
I doubt that.
Shangri La Senior unveiled
The price drop on the HE1000se to 1600 USD should be mentioned as well. Everyone loves the Arya Organic but with this new price it might strike the perfect value balance.
If only I had waited a few weeks.
Yeah, the HE1000SE is VERY good value now
이것들아 가격 내려라!!!
movie time! 🍿 The OG Susvara is great. Look forward to hearing the new model.
Nervously awaiting the price of the new HiFiMan headphones. 🤐
$7,700 USD
56,000 yuan / $7700
Your wait is over 😁
Let's hope it comes with some lovely supple calf skin pads like any hi gh end headphone should. It sure would be embarrassing if you're a vegan zealot or something. 🙃
So nearly as expensive as the shangri la junior, GREAT SAVINGS
Returning to Shanghai! 😃
Thank GOD I waited for the Susvara replacement!
Really wish they kept the sprung earcups of their other models. Its a small thing but having their cups angled nicely every time you hang them up was a nice touch. Tiny gripe aside I'll be grabbing the Hadenys for sure.
what are the 2 big tube amps on the shelf at the back,please?
Tongue twister!!
Always enjoy your first looks, Jude! My Focal Bathys and Clear MGs are my pairs of choice on the go and home. Very interesting that Focal is releasing these at an awesome price point. I guess they will compete primarily with the Sennheiser HD6xx line?
Based on price, I don't think that's an unfair assertion (what you said about the Sennheiser HD6XX line). That is, I think someone considering any of the Sennheiser HD6XX headphones should also audition these (especially the open-back Hadenys).
You're seriously selling these to me rn
thank you thank you thank you for including mdaqs scores!
The only Focals I kinda liked were the Clear MG. Unless these new cans don't have that Focal metallic sound, I will likely pass.
Lovely set of headphones
I had a pair of Focal Clears and they were my favorite headphones of all time... but.. the headband got disgustingly dirty, was impossible to clean, and also impossible to replace. Such amazing headphones but such an awful design flaw to me :(
The Azurys will look disgusting in less than a month of portable usage. Headphones are not design to be displayed, but to be worn.
Seems like a response to MM100/MM500 from Audeze. Also wow, Jude prefers the Bathys over the Lyric 2 and DCA E3 👀
@Maver1ck911, I do love the Bathys for what it is, but where did you pick up that I prefer the Bathys over the Lyric 2 and Dan Clark Audio E3?
@headfi was merely inference by omission. Seems your comment was not all inclusive 🫣
Vive le savoir faire Français 🇫🇷❤
Focal needs to make their earpads cheaper and more available
Is it wired balanced?
Damn, Focal should continue to improve the electronics of Bathys, instead of going back to wired headphones.
im 100% certain we'll see a Bathys 2 later this year
F.. can't believe I missed this!
Trypophobia =\
I need a Grande Utopia.
good job!!!! me it's open air! how do you compare to Philips Fidelio X2HR ? thank you!
Had to return Bathys. They are way smaller than then Elegia.
OMG, so excited for these, I have the Clear MG and want these
Keep feeding the addiction. I currently have the Bathys, Celestee, Elear, Elegia, Clear OG and Radiance. Still plan on buying the Clear MG, MG Pro, Stellia and Utopia's. Had to take a break from the headphones to buy guitar equipment. Looks I'll be adding these to the list.
clear mg 😂
@@JohnOBryan focal headphones are works of art. Celestee and Stellia when displayed are beautiful
I’m actually loving the colour way and design language on both these headphones using the Bathys platform. The lighter weight of the headphones and smaller form factor of the carry case is a definite plus. My question now is: Where do the Hadenyz and Azurys fit in the Focal lineup? Are they supposed to replace older models or complement the existing ones?
I assume compliment, fitting at lower price points than their current lineup.
Yea, give me something lightweight for the office and balanced setting. Hmmm. But audio-technica msr7b Sennheiser 620s Are interesting competitors for the office at cheaper prices.
ugly headphone
Pass.
What's the point of the Azurys when you can get the Bathys at a very small price premium, apart from the Pro work you mentioned?
He just said they sound better
Frequency Response and usability with other dacs and amps. Azurys measures more closely to a harman and audiophile like tuning compared to the slightly consumer-ish Bathys. Bathys is meant to be used with its dac mode and kinda ruins the dacs function if it’s used with another since you would be putting a dac on top of another.
Better tuning/sound in general.
Because they sound different maybe?
I wish he did a comparison between the two. I imagine that the sound signature is bassier and warmer on the Bathys with less resolution and separation.
New Focals! 🥰
Those look nice
I'm wearing my pair right now and they blow me away every time I put them on. Absolutely astonishingly good sounding headphones, especially for the price. I couldn't possibly be happier.
