đŸ”¶ Focal Elex

But the price tag is not “cleaner”
 at +$200 I don’t find it needed when you have the M11.

Agreed. The pro is a no go for me because I use it as a transport anyway and also only one sd card (I really need 2 at this point)

That last part is quite cleat to me now. Thanx for the info

Right
 I forgot about the missing sd slot. Which only ad on to my non-existing need for the M11 Pro.

 didn’t really seem to think the THX module was really necessary.

This is a strange thread:
Everybody agrees upon how fantastic the 789 and the Elex are, but here they are being mentioned and then “but XXX is better”.

Interesting.

Well, I bit the bullet and picked up a pair of the Elex. I am crossing my fingers that the quality control will be good with this batch.:crossed_fingers: I am going from a 58x so I believe it should be a major improvement.

It is still annoying for me that drop theeeese Elex does not send to Europe.
For the called $ 600, I would order it immediately.

Have you looked around for a used pair or looked for a used clear? You might be able to find a more local option

No, I would like to have a new pair for this price.
A used pair of the clear still costs around € 1000, which corresponds to around $ 1100.

Gorcha, sometimes you find a deal, sometimes not lol

:sneezing_face:
Ist is hard when you have it in mind all the time, can order the rest of the collection, just not the object of desire.

I also asked drop why they can’t sell Elex to EU
 they just went behind the common “this is not ok” explanation but probably truth is.
Focal is doing really good Europe and wants to control their stuff. Elex would ruin things.

Could M0N be our inside man in US and send us to EU? :smiley:
Screw Focal and phrase @M0N the transporter.

Hey I didn’t sign up to be the runner lol

You will be rewarded with 1000 virgins and all the audio gear you ever want
 after you have passed away.
I just remembered. I actually do have friend in US now, wonder if he could bring em. It would take like 6 months but i would have em.

You could just perhaps find a used clear?

The Elex would have interested me as a comparison headphones against the European versions of Focal and how it compares to Sennheiser, Beyerdynamic and others.

For 3-4 months I’ve actually been through the topic of over-ear headphones.

Since I have been able to call some high-quality in-ears my own and have found that they are, at least for me as a big headed person much more comfortable to wear.
In addition, they are at least equivalent in tonality, spatial acoustics, details, dynamics and resolution compared to high-end over ear versions.

Sometimes even a step ahead in terms of intensity.

In addition, I am much more flexible with it, I have to worry less about the drive and save sooooo much space.

And whether I invest $ 1,500 for a ZMF, Sennheiser, Focal, Audeze etc. or a Campfire Audio for example remains the same.

I could by they so bloody expensive here
 Might as well go B-Stock on Focal Clear Professionals.
Even those would be 1.2k US.
One pair of Clear, used in local market and it was like 850 US.

So the 600$ + cargo + small fee of delivery is much more peeling.

Gotcha, sometimes clears can be cheaper but that seems to not be the case
