A Brand New Version of Utopia Headphones The winner of best headphones in the world several times over, Utopia has become a market leader in high-end headphones. In 2020, Focal introduced new packaging, including several accessories (two cables and a carrying case) to give our customers an improved unboxing experience. Today, we are proud to introduce the new 2022 Utopia: an evolution in acoustics, design, and aesthetics. The Best of High-Fidelity Sound Utopia still harbors its ‘M’-shaped dome, pure Beryllium speaker drivers for transparent and true sound reproduction. However, Focal has developed a brand-new voice coil that brings together reliability and lightness to the speaker driver. Some customers have unfortunately encountered issues with speaker drivers in their original Utopia headphones, so Focal has worked tirelessly to resolve this. The new voice coil is made of 30% copper and 70% aluminum making the driver extremely reliable whilst maintaining excellent performance. Pushing the limits even further, Focal improved linearity and reproduction of the treble by incorporating the ‘M’-shaped speaker driver grille (developed for Clear Mg), following the curve of the dome. With the new Utopia, you get unequalled sound performance with vastly improved reliability! A Distinguished Design Combining comfort and aesthetics, the design and concept behind Utopia certainly live up to these exceptional headphones. The forged carbon yokes, made from recycled carbon, are modern and sophisticated in style, whilst providing more lightness. The honeycomb grille, synonymous with Focal's open-back headphones, and the Black Chrome ring showcase subtle design details, like the Yin & Yang on the outer case and the black and red double grille on the speaker driver. So many aesthetic features that fiercely embody Utopia: the perfect balance between technology and design! With the new Utopia headphones, we are delighted to introduce new design codes, which will also be used on Focal's future Utopia products. Utopia are the Ultimate Focal Headphones Their full-range, Beryllium, ‘M’-shaped speaker drivers are fully open-back and run with no passive or active correction, from 5Hz to over 50kHz! The listening experience they deliver is strikingly real, precise, and dynamic, with a soundstage that is both wide and deep: close your eyes and feel the musicians beside you.
