Headphones with a Balanced sound signature presents a precise sound and an enriching listening experience, where sounds are naturally presented without extreme emphasis on any region. With a pair of headphones with this sound signature, you can hear audio with clarity and detail. The sound is vivid and revealing, a perfect mixture of instruments and vocals, lows, mids, and highs. This sound signature works for most music listeners who like switching between various music genres like Classical, Jazz, Blues, Rock, Folk and Pop.

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.

These headphones are your go-to when you want to sit back and relax. If you’re someone who is looking to listen to music without worrying too much about the technicalities, then these are the perfect fit for you. You can expect these headphones to conveniently work and pair with most devices like Smartphones and Laptops without needing an Amp or DAC. These offer the ultimate convenience, but we believe that if you care about an immersive listening experience and audio quality, these are not for you!

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.

The longevity of your headphone/devices is strongly affected by its build quality, and a poorly built pair is more susceptible to breaking in a short amount of time. This is even more important for the listener who travels with their headphones/devices frequently, as wear and tear are more probable.Headphones/devices built with metal and metal components usually tend to last longer and can withstand wear and tear and potential damage. Modern processes allow all kinds of precious and durable metals to be used while making devices and offer a longer lifetime for users.

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.

If you plug your wired headphones directly into your phone or laptop, you are probably not hearing them at their best. This usually happens because the amplifier in your phone or laptop is not capable enough to drive your headphones to their best. A dedicated headphone amplifier is an elegant solution for this, and it can power your wired headphones to their maximum capability. When you invest in a good pair of wired headphones that are hard to drive, it's worth getting a dedicated headphone amp as it will make your headphones sound even better.

Focal has been known for producing pure acoustic sound for 40 years and the Stellia is one of them. An exceptional headphone, these are equipped with an ‘M’-shaped pure Beryllium dome and new surround, frameless 100% copper voice coil that ensures stunning dynamics for this closed-back headphone. The Stellia reveals the tiniest details and realistic audio reproduction.

The Focal Stellia produce the purest sound. Its 40mm electrodynamic speaker drivers offer a frequency range of 5Hz - 40kHz even at low volume levels. The Vents, EVA foam behind the speaker driver, absorb the high frequencies while the acoustic diffusers break up standing waves resulting in interference-free sound.

The high-resilience memory foam earpads on Stellia make it incredibly comfy. The headband's and Yoke's continuous curve ensures a perfect fit regardless of the size and shape of your ears. Cognac and mocha are the two finishes available for the Stellia. This headphone is incredibly stylish thanks to the full-grain leather headband.

The Stellia amazingly isolates unwanted outside sound as it has been created with a closed-back design. 50% of the earpads' height is designed to diffuse sound through non-perforated full-grain leather. The other 50% absorbs the audio signal through an acoustic cloth which covers the memory foam and produces the perfect sound isolation.

The Stellia uses technology developed exclusively by Focal in France. To ensure that every product is high-performance, it has to feature a 100% Focal design. This allows complete control over the design and quality control processes to guarantee high-quality loudspeakers, headphones and earphones that offer enduring value.

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.

"The Stellia are closed-back in design, and their impedance has been reduced to 35 Ohms to make them friendly to portable audio sources."

"These are much more likely to be used on the move with portable music players and DACs, so attention has been given to making them easier to drive ."

"You might have experienced the feeling of sitting in a high-end luxury car and being overwhelmed with a sense of luxury and craftsmanship. It’s a similar."

"These sound absolutely fantastic. Their wide-open soundstage and detailed, accurate sound treatment means they make any genre sound brilliant."

"The copper-and-cognac colored headphones boast real leather and premium components – as well as the love-it-or-hate it aesthetics audio freaks have come to associate with the iconic French brand."

"While I raved about the level of packaging quality for a mainstream-priced headphone like the Cleer Flow, the Stellia is in another league."

" If you’re an audiophile who really wants the best of the best and prefer a closed-back design, then these are the way to go. It is an absolute joy — but, of course, they’re not for everyone."

"The Focal Stellia closed-back headphones cost a small fortune but they are the best dynamic closed-back headphones I’ve heard to date. The build quality of these headphones is exceptional."

Sumptuous feel & Regal looks, Awesome Sound BUT doesn't set my soul on fire, does my purse though

Using with a good gaming DAC Epos/Sennheiser gsx 300, sounds awesome but it doesn't make me scream and shout with joy, if you understand what I mean. The diminishing returns as you go up the audiophile ladder are at play. Gargantuan price not justified. I kind of knew it beforehand, but if you want the splendid and luxurious feel (which I did) apart from the awesome sound, then it kind of is. Then again Focal's Celestee looks and probably feels the same ultra amazing with a minor(i wonder) drop in sonic quality.

The best closed-back. Period!

Queen Stellia is so absolutely good-looking, it will rock your world! It's not just a pretty face, however. The sound quality is phenomenal: the bass is outstanding and is perfectly textured; the dynamic beryllium driver is capable of brutal slam and punch when called for; vocals, surprisingly, are extremely good; the treble region is slightly subdued compared to its bass and mids though. Stellia is a somewhat warmer and bassier version of the Utopia, which many consider the best headphone in the world. Stellia is certainly more fun to listen to. Though a closed-back, its soundstage is better than the Utopia's. For genres such as EDM, rock, trance, R&B and pop, this could be end-game, if affordability is not an issue. Note that you might want to get some fancier cables for the headphones: the stock ones just don't cut it imo. Packaging is luxurious; the unboxing experience has a sense of occasion. Stellia is very easy to drive, but scales well with better amplification and electronics. Delivery was very prompt. I take this opportunity to thank the headphonezone team, particularly Samiksha, for patiently bearing with my insistent questions and demands on her time. Cheers!
