Replaceable Cables

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.

Open-Back Design

Headphones with an open-back design, allow air to pass through the earcups. This means that Open-Backs do not block any noise from around you, as closed-backs do, and music being heard will also leak outside to people around you. So they can only be heard in a quiet environment.

However, Open-back headphones do sound more natural and open. Open-back headphones create a feeling of space, presenting audio as if you are sitting at a live concert. Audiophiles swear by open-back headphones, and they sound quite different to closed-backs.

These headphones are perfect for critical listening sessions, mixing and mastering music. They have an accurate soundstage presentation and precise imaging.

Needs Amplification

Headphones and IEMs require a certain level of power to sound their best and work at their full potential. When your headphones or IEMs are underpowered, they can sound thin or muffled.

Amplifiers are required to provide adequate power to your headphone or IEMs to perform at their best. Simply put, amplifiers allow a weak audio signal to be boosted to a powerful one.

To put it into perspective, devices such as your phones and laptops come with an amplifier, but they offer very limited output power. This output may not be sufficient to power headphones and IEMs to shine at their best. This is where a dedicated amplifier is required to deliver adequate power to hear your music in all its glory.

Focal has established itself as one of the world’s best manufacturers of headphones, and with the new Clear MG, you are presented with ample dynamics and energy. The midrange is clear and focused and full of detail. Listening to music on the Clear MG is a delight.

UNBOXED

Unboxed units are as good as new products with the product's packaging being unavailable. These products give you the same satisfaction of new products - but at down-to-earth prices. Usually, the product's packaging may have gotten damaged in transit. Customers use a product once or twice and then return it with opened up packaging.

Returned headphones are fully functional products that have left the warehouse and therefore can no longer be sold as new as their packaging has been opened. The product may have been used once or twice by the customer who returned it.

Sometimes we receive headphones in damaged packaging due to shipping accidents. These are brand new headphones with cosmetic flaws on the packaging.

Since you won't get the original packaging, we give you a good discount compared to a new headphone.

A thorough inspection means you receive a 100% working headphone with no sound output issues.

All unboxed headphones carry the same warranty period as a brand new headphone would.

We have the same Headphone Zone customer support experience for Unboxed Products or new products.

Received a defective Unboxed unit? Return it under our Replacement Policy.

The unboxed headphones itself comes with all original accessories.

Description

The leather and microfiber-covered headband along with a smooth curve design and solid aluminium yoke ensure all-around wearing comfort. The perforated microfiber earpads used in this headphone add to the comfort and the open sound of the Focal Clear Mg. Additionally, the honeycomb design aids the open aural sound leading to a natural listening experience.

Designed after four years of meticulous research and development, Focal engineers came up with a magnesium dome for the speaker. This magnesium dome paired with an 'M'-shaped dome enhances the lightness, rigidity and damping of the speaker. It also elevates the precision of audio reproduction. This innovation is focused on promoting dynamics and details of the sound backing the neutral and balanced sound signature.

The design of the Focal Clear Mg involves three major elements—solid aluminium, genuine leather, microfibre. The unique blend of the honeycomb design with Chestnut and mixed metals finish makes the Focal Clear Mg timeless and elegant.

Sound

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.

FAQs

What is the warranty on the Focal Clear MG and how do I claim it?

Focal Clear MG offers a two year warranty. If you need to claim warranty, you can contact us. We are quite friendly people, just sayin. You can read more about warranty here.

Are the cables on the Focal Clear MG detachable?

Yes, the cables are indeed detachable. Making for easy storage and convenient for whenever you want to replace or upgrade cables.

Can I use the Focal Clear MG for long hours?

The Focal Clear MG has a comfortable over-ear design that also helps in providing ample sound attenuation. The design aims at providing exceptional comfort with its lightweight construction.

Do I get a carry case in the box?

Yes, Focal Clear MG does come with a carry case in the box. Keep your Celestee safe from unwanted scratches and fingerprints.

What does 'impedance' and 'Ohms' means?

Impedance is the so-called alternating-current resistance that headphones have under specific standard conditions. On devices with low output impedance, headphones are the louder, the lower their impedance is. In principle, we recommend that you choose headphones with low impedance for use on devices that are operated by battery/rechargeable battery (i.e. most portable devices such as smartphones, tablet computers but also notebooks). You can distinguish between high and low impedance. Usually, the gradations 18 Ω, 32 Ω, and 80 Ω are used in the low range. In the high range, 250 Ω are common. If you want to get the most out of your system (and it has the power to do so), choose a model with 600 Ω

Sometimes we receive headphones in damaged packaging due to shipping accidents. These are brand new headphones with cosmetic flaws on the packaging.

Since you won't get the original packaging, we give you a good discount compared to a new headphone.

A thorough inspection means you receive a 100% working headphone with no sound output issues.
