Headphones with a Warm & Smooth sound signature deliver a relaxed sound that does not overwhelm. This type of sound signature typically reproduces a sound that gives your music a distinctly warm and soothing quality. Vocals and instruments like the saxophone, cello, and piano sound particularly good with this sound signature and is pleasant to listen to music for extended periods. This sound signature is well suited for music listeners who prefer something easy on the ears and listen to genres like Jazz, Blues, R&B and rock sub-genres.

These Wired Headphones are designed for discerning music lovers. If you are someone who cares about audio quality deeply, you'll want a pair of Wired Headphones like these. You can expect these Wired Headphones to present you with a refined listening experience. The audio quality exhibited by these Wired Headphones is a beautiful mix of musicality, technical brilliance and high precision. These Wired Headphones deliver a spacious and open soundstage that compares listening to music on actual speakers.

Closed-Back design headphones are completely sealed around the ear cup, which allows the sound to travel directly into your ears. This means that closed-back headphones will block out a lot more outside noise, yielding much better isolation. Due to this design alone, most closed-back headphones can help reduce about 10 dB of noise. This is the main benefit of closed-back headphones, removing you from the outside environment so that you can focus entirely on the music you are playing. Closed-back headphones usually provide a better “bass” experience, as open backs traditionally struggle in the lows. All in all, these are excellent options for music listening and even studio applications.

A pair of headphones with a replaceable cable has many benefits, and one of them is if the connecting cable has a problem, it doesn’t mean that you have to buy a new one. If the connecting cable gets pulled or damaged, you can replace it and keep using your good-old headphones or IEMs. This way, your headphones will be protected and will last longer. With the advancements in cable manufacturing, you now get a variety of replacement cables with various termination options, lengths and quality.

I love the Focal Celestee. They're gorgeous to look at and hold in your hand. The attention to detail and build is second to none. Focal made the Celestee to be a warm and laidback sounding. But as a closed-back, it's hard to find a better-sounding headphone in this segment.

Experience the Focal Celestee — a masterpiece in modern design, impressive sound and gorgeous finishes. It features a sophisticated Navy Blue colour that blends harmoniously with the Soft Copper grilles and rings on the earcups. The earpads and headband are generously padded with semi-aniline leather for a luxurious feel.

Experience superb dynamics and accurate sound reproduction with the Focal Celestee. The distinctive "M"-shaped inverted dome speaker drivers with their greater emissive surface area are entirely responsible for this. Your music will sound clear and detailed thanks to these 40mm electrodynamic full-range speaker drivers made of aluminium and magnesium. The earcups have undergone a rigorous acoustic treatment to provide lower resonance and uncompromised audio quality with good bass extension.

The Focal Celestee shows off the best of French aesthetics. It blends good looks with comfort and functionality. The aluminium yoke is moulded to fit the listener. An overlaying stainless steel grille covers the earcups. The earcups' leather coating sound proofs them while adding a touch of luxury. The semi-aniline leather and microfiber earpads offer added comfort.

Carry your Celestee wherever you go with the thermoformed carry case. The closed-back design and 35Ω impedance make it perfect for at-home listening as well as when on the go. It comes with a 3.94 ft (1.2m) asymmetric cable with a 3.5mm (1/8") jack and a 3.5mm female to 6.35mm (1/4") male jack adapter making it compatible with any Hi-Res player of your choice.

FREQUENCY GRAPH

CHEAT SHEET

Regions of the frequency spectrum

SUB BASS
(20Hz - 80 Hz)

The first section of the frequency spectrum is the sub-bass. Everything below 80Hz is sub-bass, so generally, you need a subwoofer or a good pair of headphones (open-back headphones, for example) to hear this region. This region comprises instruments like the Kick Drum and the Bass Guitar. You should be able to hear Sub-Bass if you’re listening on monitors or headphones. But if you’re listening on a laptop or a phone, there’s no way you will hear that.

MID BASS
(80 Hz - 300 kHz)

After the Sub-Bass region, we get into the region known as the Bass or Mid-Bass. This region consists of everything between 80 and 300 hertz. In this area, we’ve got instruments like bass guitar and the low end of a snare. Lots of the low-end vocals as well, because male vocals are going to have the fundamental below 200Hz in most cases.

LOWER MIDRANGE
(300 Hz - 1000 kHz)

Next, if you go from 300 Hz up to 1000 kHz, this is known as the Lower Midrange, and this is a crucial region for music because this is where you get a lot of buildup with guitars, vocals, and even the top-end of the bass guitar especially. Lower Midrange is an area guilty of adding mud to a mix and clarity in this region lifts a track exponentially.

UPPER MIDRANGE
(1 kHz - 6 kHz)

Human hearing focuses inherently on this frequency range. So it’s crucial to get this range right. This region consists of the main focus of the track (e.g. vocals) and synths. Be aware that this is also where you can start to get into harshness and aggressive tones.

TREBLE
(6 kHz - 10 kHz)

After the Upper Midrange, we’ve got the Treble region between 6kHz and 8 kHz, and this is where things start to get harsh. This region is where we have brittleness from instruments like the Hi-Hats and Cymbals. This is also a crucial range for clarity and aggression, especially for female vocals.

AIR
(10 kHz - 20 kHz)

At the end of the frequency spectrum, we get to the Air region or the Top End. This region consists of everything above 10 kHz. This is where we have air and this is where we get a sense of shine and sparkle in our music.

Best Close back I've heard

The build quality is excellent as you would expect from a Focal.
The soundstage is narrow which would be considered as a downside. The sound quality makes it so good that you will feel the difference if you are upgrading from a bluetooth headphone. The bass response is very good and you can feel the bass. It can be run without an amplifier, but it sure as hell benefits from one. I paired it with a zen dac v2 and the difference in sound quality was night and day. Overall, a very good headphone, very well worth the price.

Hey there, nothing makes us happier than knowing you loved your purchase, hope you had a comfortable shopping experience and thank you for the great review and ratings!
