Really? Man, I must say I was eyeing them too. Really a shame, imagine if Focal has anything to do with it.

Ok,
with what your are saying, I m sold on the elegia.
it would be nice to have a closed back for a change , I saw the focal elegia new sold with a dragonfly black dac bundle 500ā¬ that s a good deal 
Thanks for the precision. 
I will check that person you written about.
I will +1 on the Elegia and iFi bass boost. I have a hip dac as well and do think the Elegia take well to the boost. They are the headphone I gravitate towards the most often since they seem to be my closest to an āall aroundā headphone for my personal collection. For reference I own the ksc75 and kph30i, as well as sort of adjacent headphones to your experience with the hd 6xx and hifiman x drop 4xx. Also have a few Sony wireless phones and would take Elegia if I had to choose one from all those.

Interesting, this does sound like a good deal. Hope you find what youāre looking for. Please share here your impressions after hearing the Elegia.
Might be worth seeing if Adorama delivers to your country since they are running their trypical āsaleā on the Elegia right now for $379 USD (about 335ā¬).
They unfortunately donāt deliver in my country.
I would like to be able to purchase my product in several time. Would make the audio more accessible that s in not possible unfortunately.
But thanks for the information, I will need to wait February to take the elegia

You can use a shipping forwarder like reship or myus - but beware that fedex, ups et al prices are quite high right now though - $70 and up for an average size 7lb package.
I missed out on getting the Dekoni Ltd. Edition Stellia pads, so I ordered the Dekoni Sheepskins tonight. Just wanna bass them up a bit.

Cool. Anxious to hear how they do for you. I was gonna switch from 660S to HP-2 last night and ended up grabbing the Elegias instead. Glad I did. Had a great sessoin with them and was reminded as to why I bought them.
We do share a lot of headphones.

Iām deciding between the Elegias ($379) and the T60rp Argons ($499) with ZMF Suedes. Does anyone have a comparison between the two in regards to detail, sound stage, imaging, and bass?
I think the Elegiaās have much more detail, but that comes with being a little more focused on the mids and above. They can come across as a little bright or bass light. They do enjoy some bass boost and I have a set of Dekoni sheepskins coming in for them.
The Argons do not have the detail, but are more bass focused. They take to bass boost like a fish to water. They lack clarity and precision compared to the Elegiaās and are harder to drive.
I think the Elegiaās are the better all round headphone. You can run them off your phone or DAP quite well. That Argon will keep you tied to a desk. Up here in Canada both cost me about the same, landed.
My music is new rock, classic rock, blues and horn jazz. I am not a Loud listener.

Thanks for your input. Just to be clear - are you talking about the T60 Argons? Iāve been going through a bunch of reviews and they say the T60 Argon has more detail than the T50 Mk III Argons.
Iām using the THX 789 so power shouldnāt be an issue.
Yes, T60 Argons. And yes I read the same about them being more detailed than than the T50 Argons, which is why I bought them. I wanted good bass without a lot of boominess.
I like these 'phones but two things stand out after owning them:
- They are not as detailed as I had hoped, although that was not the main reason I bought them.
And - They were not as bassy as I had hoped, however they take to bass boost/EQ better than any headphone I ever had.
Lastly, they arenāt really hard to drive. They were nice with the Liquid Platinum and are great with my iFi.

Excellent! I hope they work for you. Looks like the swap will be pretty straight-forward. Good luck!

I wish I could have gotten the Limited Edition Stelliaās, but they would have been double the price. If these can bass it up a bit, they would probably make the T5ās redundant.

Just started todayās listening session. Going from BF2 to Pro iCAN with no bass boost. My test list has become more bass slanted recently due to my closed back comparisons.
16 songs/one hour and three minutes of music.
Starting with stock pads. After list finishes, I change pads and play it again.
Might do the whole thing again with the Vio.
I need answers damn it!

What a difference with Sheepskin! I love the feel of the leather. Also the foam is much denser and definitely pushes my ears further away from the drivers.
I went through my list and then went through the list again with the new pads and was sure I detected a difference but then started to doubt myself.
Thankfully the swap is Very easy and quick. I listened to the Drumming Song (Florence and the Machine) and Hanginaround (Counting Crows). Then I immediately swapped pads and was blown away with these two songs.
And I donāt feel like I am losing anything from the mids or treble, at least not so far.
Now I am really excited about doing another head to head with the āimprovedā Elegiaās compared to the Beyer T5ās. In the first round, I couldnāt call either one an absolute winner.
I am very happy with this purchase. I bought these online from Wal-Mart.ca. It was a third party seller on there. I paid $90.00Cdn., plus tax with free shipping. Took about 4 days.
I have to admit that I am now a little curious about Dekoniās perforated sheepskin and hybrid models. They certainly wouldnāt go to waste. I will always have Focals. The Elexās may become Clears and the Elegiaās may become Celesteeās or Radianceās or perhaps even Stelliaās. I love the Focal sound.
