Focal Clear Mg Review

The Focal Clear Mg are audiophile headphones with a very premium design and a comfortable fit. They're the next generation of the Focal Clear, and unlike their p...

Focal Clear Mg headphone review: Open-back headphones never sounded better

Very few.

The open Focal Clear MG are excellent headphones. The music sounds great with many layers of detail and a nice large midrange reproduction. The bass is cash without becoming dominant, and the treble is crisp and detailed without being scratchy. And...

The Focal Clear MG headphones are about as good as it gets for luxurious home hi-fi

Gorgeously rich and realistic sound ; Premium build quality ; Easy to drive ; Very comfortable

Open-backed has disadvantages ; Maybe not totally neutral

The Focal Clear MG headphones offer simply fantastic audio quality, and a comfortable design for long periods of listening. And they can even be driven by portable devices, though are at their best with a great hi-fi setup.
