Made in France, the Focal Utopia 2022 headphones are the fruit of over 40 years of acoustic innovation. Open-back, its Beryllium "M" dome drivers deliver the strikingly realistic listening sensations of the best Focal loudspeakers.

Innovations are complemented by aesthetics that make these headphones a work of art. The honeycomb grilles and Black Chrome rings highlight subtle design details, such as the Yin & Yang symbolism on the outer shell and the red reflections on the loudspeakers.

For listening pleasure, the memory ear pads and genuine leather headband provide comfort and softness, while the recycled forged carbon yoke offers lightness and an even distribution of the headphones' weight on the head.

The Focal Utopia 2022 headphones need a running-in period to reach full performance. This will happen naturally after several hours of listening. If you wish to accelerate the process, we recommend that you play the headphones for at least 24 hours at a relatively high volume level, on tracks rich in low frequencies. This will stabilize the drivers and enable you to enjoy your headphones to the full.

Utopia comes with a black leatherette cabinet, a thermoformed case in the headphones' colors, and hi-fi cables for perfect, complete home use. A stand is available as an optional extra, allowing the headphones to be elegantly displayed in the home.

Unmatched purity and realism

Experts in high-fidelity speaker drivers, Focal engineers have applied their expertise to headphones. The patented, fully open-back, full-range drivers have an "M"-shaped dome made of pure Beryllium. They operate without active or passive correction, from 5 Hz to over 50 kHz: the headphones disappear completely, and the audio signal is reproduced with unparalleled purity, realism, and transparency. Contributing to the perfect design, the grilles are also "M"-shaped, to perfectly follow the shape of the drivers while providing better linearity in the treble.

A no-compromise sound signature

Along with the diaphragm and magnet, the voice coil is one of the key components of a speaker. Its composition and materials play a vital role in sound reproduction. For the Focal Utopia 2022, Focal's engineers developed a new voice coil made from two materials: copper for reliability and aluminum for lightness. This evolution is synonymous with continuous innovation, but also with a renewed, uncompromising hi-fi sound signature.
