The editors liked

  • 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
  • Exceptional clarity
  • Dynamics
  • And soundstage for closed-back headphones
  • Sumptuous design and materials
  • Low impedance lets you plug these into portable players or dongles
  • Comfortable in spite of large size
  • 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
  • XLR and 3.5mm cables supplied
  • Comfortable to wear
  • Detailed
  • Musical at both frequency extremes

The editors didn't like

  • 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
  • Price and size undermine ambitions for regular portable use
  • Bass is heard rather than felt
  • Microphonics from cables when no music playing
  • $2
  • 990 price tag is considerable
  • Low-bitrate music won't suffice
  • Cables can audibly rub
  • No 2.5mm balanced jack Focal

  • The Stellia is truly outstanding and a welcome addition to the high-end headphone ranks. It rivals the very best open-back competition in a domestic environment, proves to be exceptionally comfortable for long listening sessions and continues to delight w...

  • Abstract:  In common with other designs in Focal's range, its 40mm full-range drivers have an M-shaped diaphragm to deliver a fast, dynamic and neutral performance. It claims a frequency range from 5Hz to 40kHz with 35ohm impedance and sensitivity specified at 106dB...

  • Refinement, insight and powerful bass, Excellent build and finish, Impressive comfort,
  • Some practical issues with cable options,
  • In absolute terms, we still think the open-backed Utopias sound better - they're just that bit more transparent and subtle. But if you must have a closed design, these Stellias are arguably the best we've heard.SCORESSound 5Comfort 4Build 5...

  • Amazing sound quality, Very comfortable, Luxury finish
  • Extremely expensive, Leather design not suitable for vegans
  • We thought the Focal Stellias sounded mind-blowingly good, but that $3000 price tag could be a bit excessive...

  • Excellent clarity and dynamics, Great comfort despite the size, Incredibly easy to drive, Wellaccessorized
  • Bass is dry and lacks impact you can feel, Price and size discourage regular portable use
  • If you want a musical headphone that leans more towards being accurate than exciting, the Focal Stella is definitely for you. It may not be at the level of the flagship Utopia, but for S$3,999 you get reference-level performance that doesn't require a hig...

  • großartige Beryllium-Wandler, maximal hochauflösend
  • Diese Fülle an Informationen, diese stimmige innere Harmonie. Dieser Kopfhörer spielt in der höchsten Liga. Jedes kleinste Detail ist Focal gelungen. Allem voran natürlich der großartige Beryllium-Wandler. Das Klangbild hat Tempo, Präzision, Leichtigkeit...

  • Makkelijk aan te sturen, Een hele stap vanaf de Elegia, Universeel karakter, bijzonder goed voor elektronische muziek, Fantastische bouwkwaliteit, Prima draagcomfort, pas goed aan zonder veel druk op de oren
  • Niet het extreme inzicht van de Utopia, Love it or hate it-retrodesign
  • De Stellia verdient de naam ‘vlaggenschip'. Zonder twijfel is dit een geslaagd gesloten topmodel van Focal, met een tuning die het midden houdt tussen toegankelijk en audiofiel. Het biedt veel inzicht, maar niet ten koste van betrokkenheid. Meer zelfs, he...

  • Waanzinnig mooi gemaakt, Klinkt opvallend in balans, Balanced en unbalanced
  • Utopia meet nog wat beter
  • Wat een prachtig product is de Focal Stellia! Zowel de afwerking als de klank is echt top-notch. Nu zijn we doorgaans niet zo onder de indruk van gesloten over-ear modellen, maar de Stellia is een uitzondering. Deze over-ear klinkt zonder meer goed in bal...

  • Fyllig och slagkraftig bas, utsökt linjaritet och en ytterst luftig och detaljerad diskant. Funkar som bärbar också
  • Somliga hade nog velat ha ännu mer snärt i virveltrumman. Det finns lurar som har ännu bättre dynamik i högsta registret
  • Focal Stellia är något så häftigt som en highend-hörlur som fungerar med mobilen. Visst, det låter tamare då än med en förstärkare, men bärbarheten gör Stellia väldigt användarvänlig – och den sitter dessutom som en dröm på öronen.Ljudet är fantastiskt, h...
