Nice... mine are also coming from Mr. Mike. I think they will match up nicely with my Dennis Had amp.
I posted in another thread that we had a can jam at our local audio club. Some nice headphones and amps were brought in by members... a couple pair of Audeze LDC3, with and without their latest mods. HiFiMan 1000 v2, my MrSpeakers, and many other models. Various amps such as a Woo WA22, a Bryston, a few Oppo spinners, a Luxman Integrated, etc.
The Focal Clear appeared to be the run away winner!
I was personally out of sorts that day so I did not participate in comparing, but since I wanted a second set of nice headphones that are different then my planers the Focals jump up on my list

I just got a message that my Focals are in California! Now is when I start getting a lot more excited!

Listening to the new Focal Clears. So far loving the sound, but I also assume there is a break-in period. Very comfortable, maybe not quite as much as the MrSpeakers, but certainly better than others I have had. Great sound, quite different then my Ethers. I would say fuller, richer, but maybe not quite as open and airy as the planar Ethers... but a very inviting sounding headphone.
Fit and finish is as good as any I have had, which includes Audeze, McIntosh, KEF, HD800S, MrSpeakers... and package included is amazing... 1/4" and Balanced 3 M cables, 1.2 M 1/8" cable, nice case, etc. Simply amazing... and not cheap cables like the Audeze came with... even better then the Sennheiser cables... Top notch indeed!
