Incredibly broad, transparent soundstage, Works with both headphone amps and regular 3.5mm jacks, Lavish construction spares no expense, Comfortable enough for hours of listening
$2,990 price tag is considerable, Low-bitrate music won't suffice, Cables can audibly rub
The more time I spent with the Stellia headphones, the more ironic their lavish presentation seemed. Focal's head-turning aesthetic – down to the leather-packaged cables and instruction leaflets, and the oversized zippered carrying-case – is impossible to...
Abstract: It's usually the great open-back headphone designs that are recognized as the serious hi-fi headphones. The sort of headphone we save-up our money for, the ones we dream may someday be our end-game headphones, they're usually an open-back design. They've...

The Focal Stellia is the finest headphone I've ever heard, with exceptional clarity, superb soundstage and imaging, and an exceedingly well-balanced presentation of deep bass, clean mids, and sparkling highs. Even better, it's super-comfortable to wear fo...
Abstract: My friends and coworkers nearly had a coronary when they found out how much the very conspicuous looking pair of cognac-coloured leather-bound headphones were worth when they ran into me with them over the past few weeks. Admittedly, there are a few among...

Abstract: The Stellia is French audio manufacturer Focal's latest headphone offering, and only their second to offer a closed-back design. At $3,000 they are also entering into territory not often broached by “portable” headphones. So, are such costly cans worth th...
The Focal Stellia delivers the best overall tonal balance of any closedback dynamic driver headphone I've heard, The aluminum yoke and luxurious memory foamfilled leather earpads combine to provide the most comfortable yet secure fit with no heat buildup
While the quarterinch singleended headphone cable was just the right length at four feet for onthego listening and my desktop rig, it's a bit short for use with a fullsize home stereo system. It's also stiffer than I'd like for mobile use
The Focal Stellia is not only a luxuriously designed headphone, it's also hands-down the best performing closed-back headphone I've ever heard, no matter the musical genre. For me, the Stellia's combination of luxury design and materials, along with its u...
Abstract: For you Chicago area folks, it was one of the old ones where Ray Samuels brought his Lamborghini, Jude from Head-Fi came and there was some incredibly cool uber high-end stuff – an early generation Smyth Realizer, multiple Stax 009 setups, the LCD-3 had l...
