🔷 Focal Elegia

Anyone have a good headband cover option for these? So many don’t seem to give dimensions when searching. I have just been using the felt they came with and slapped a piece of velcro on the felt.

The most popular option I have seen is a knitted headband but I’m not too sure where to get one.

I use a Geekria one that’s 11cm. It’s a little bit tight, so I’d recommend one a bit wider.

Thanks. I have seen a knitted one on AliExpress (also sold on eBay), just not sure how much I like it and the color options.

I was looking at some of the geekria ones, but I think they are about 3cm too tight

This is what I’m using:

When I measured 5" looked like the size needed, but I will trust you and the first hand experience. Thanks.

It’s a bit longer than needed but it doesn’t bother me. Here’s what it looks like:

Same here, using this Geekeria for a few months now and it is fine. It doesn’t move around and seems overall comfortable.

Well that settles it, ordering.

Enjoy! I was on mine in the office all morning.

Seems backward. Don’t you mean “on you”?

The gateway drug to the hi end for many. Enjoy!

I guess listening on them would have made more sense…

I bought this TXesign headband (in 2-1/2"W) for my Elegia:

It’s got an inner lip so the zipper won’t damage the leather band, a layer of padding underneath, and it’s even got a little suede hook so I can hang it on my desk hook. Fits the Elegia perfectly.

I got the dekoni sheepskin pads for my babys

Every single darn time this goes on sale at $399, I’ll be in a huge dilemma for DAYS!!! I’ve read through this entire thread trying to come to a decision, emphasis on trying.

Of course most posts are positive, in fact not a single post came off entirely negative at all. 399USD for what these can do is a real steal, but people seems to selling them off very quickly as well. I understand what you guys meant by gateway cans. The consensus is that the technicality and detail retrieval are really good, however it also seems like it is lacking in something to stand out from the rest. As mentioned by someone in earlier posts, Jack of all trades, master of none.

So once again, I’m torn… As I’m located outside USA (these are no longer available where I am), I’ll have to get a freight forwarder to send these to me, return is not an option. On top of that, selling used headphones here is not easy too as we have a relatively small market. Thus the dilemma.

I use this one with the Clear, fits tighter than the other Geekria which I got first…
