(March 17, 2021) If you're looking for a statement headphone that dazzles the eyes and the ears, Focal's new Clear Mg circum-aural open-back headphones ($1,490) should get you headed in the right direction. Manufactured in France, Clear Mg is an upgraded version of its original Clear design, crafted to retain a neutral and balanced sonic signature with even more refinement than ever before.
Picked for its light and rigid nature, the Clear Mg's new Magnesium "M" shaped 1-5/8" dome driver benefits from natural damping properties for improved dynamics and detail. The headphone's overall frequency response ranges from 28 kHz down to 5 Hz while offering a sensitivity of 104dB (1mW @ 1 kHz) and an impedance of 55 ohms for compatibility with portable audio players. Sound quality is further influenced by a new honeycomb "M" shaped grille that mimics the curves of the driver, which helps to open the soundstage and focus high-frequency reproduction.
The Clear Mg is loaded with luxurious details and comfort. Its chestnut tones and metal accents pop with glitz, while premium leather and microfiber grace the headband and perforated earpads. A solid aluminum yoke completes an elegant design meant to conform to the head.
Focal includes a 9.8ft 4-pin XLR cable and a 3.9ft mini-jack cable with a 1/4" adapter, as well as a matching carry case.
The Clear Mg is available for purchase now through authorized Focal dealers.
