Focal HADENYS High-Fidelity Open-Back Headphones

Title is a bit subjective, but I believe this to be one of the best sub $1k headphones period. First, it is built wonderfully. It is very comfortable to wear and is light on my head while also feeling sturdy. It's Focal quality, and from the brand I expect nothing less. Second, and most important, the sound! It is tuned just to my preference; it has a bass that feels accurate without mudding the other frequencies, the mids feel spacious and vocals sound natural and punchy, and the treble sounds sparkly without sound harsh. While I wouldn't mix with these, they are definitely not a neutral headphone being a bit warm, they are an awesome listening headphone and makes music and gaming feel awesome! Would recommend for a friend who would want to enter the hifi world with Focal (especially when it was at $499 when bought, awesome price vs its $699 normal).

These headphones are relatively lightweight and very comfortable to wear for long listening sessions. The aesthetics are pleasing, with an attractive design and good quality materials. The tuning is very balanced with excellent clarity, definition and no sibilance whatsoever. Bass extension and punch is also unusually good for an open back headphone. As they are very efficient, you can drive them with nearly any source. My only minor complaint is that the cable memory can be a bit annoying. Overall, at a discounted price below the $750 msrp, ( I paid $436 ) you’d be hard pressed to find a pair of phones with all of the positive qualities these possess at anywhere near their price. Highly recommended.

Amazing sounding headphones! Very lightweight and comfortable. I don't think these Focals are getting enough attention and credit for the clarity, resolution, and bass quality they provide. Part of that may be because they are so lightweight and mostly plastic. They may not "feel" worth the premium price, but they definitely sound premium! Extremely happy with my purchase. Got them "slightly used/like new" for a great price and are exactly as advertised.

This is treble leaning and was very sharp sounding to my ears. The ear cups and yokes are rather small, so my ears came in contact with the driver cover, which is uncomfortable after about 30 minutes. Looks cool though.

Hearing all kinds of stuff beyond my MacBookM4 speakers. Been waiting so long for headphones in this quality range and am NOT disappointed. :) Having a whole new relationship with Apple music. Update: About the same time bought HiFiMan Arya Stealths (headphones for each floor) and reported they had the edge on sound. But they are LARGE. Difficult to get them to sit just right. These Focals are so much more comfortable that I find a reason to be on that floor. Plus they are a joy to listen to. In a good way, they are infringing on my work - finding myself sitting back in my chair and just listening.

These are great. The neutural sound makes them easy to EQ. They just might be my favorite open backs and I have a set of Audeze, Hifiman, and Sennheisers. I am not saying these are better but they do come out of the box with the best sound signature for TV and musice already and are easier to drive so they sound louder already The Audeze's are a little bassy, The Hifiman's a little bright, and the Sennheisers are very warm with strong midrange. They all have their places but if you can't afford all of them like I can I would suggest these first.

The headphones I ordered were delivered used and the drivers were blown. I'm not even sure they were genuine Focal Hadenys made in France.

I bought these headphones wanting to get more out of my music when I sit at my desktop and that's exactly what these cans deliver. The sound signature is similar to the Sennheiser HD650's or what MassDrop calls the HD6XX, so if you're coming from those headphones, you will very likely enjoy the sound signature of the Hadney as well. Although the two headphones are similar the Focal Hadeny sounds better in most every measurable way. The Hadeny has better detail, better clarity, better separation, much better bass, less distortion, a lower impedance and sounds much fuller overall. Vocals on the Sennheiser are a bit more forward but that is the only category they win in. With that said I think the Sennheiser HD650 is still my favorite headphone. They are so comfortable I wear them all-day. The Focal Hadney is more finicky and needs to be adjusted just right or it begins to hurt the top of my head after only a few minutes of wear. For this reason, I think you should try them on first before you invest the money and blind buy these headphones like I did. Overall, I would give these cans a 4 out of 5 stars only because the comfort is not perfect. If they were more comfortable, I would give them 4.5 out 5. Comfort is very subjective though and while I do like the Hadney there is no denying they weigh a bit more than HD650 and the clamp force is weaker. It's unfortunate because I really do like the Focal sound, they just need to add clamp force and better padding.

Ich besitze einige Kopfhörer und habe gedacht, man muss mal Kopfhörer ohne Bluetooth, zwecks Audioqualität benutzen Kurz und bündig, man kann heut Musik über das Smartphone hören, in absoluter guter High Res Qualität am besten mit einem kleinen Kopfhörer Verstärker (DAC) . Die besten Kopfhörer auf den Markt für ein gutes Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis im höheren Segment sind ebend Focal und Hifiman.

These are truly a great set from Focal! They are warm, open, and impressively detailed for the price...they are definitely more to my tuning preference vs the Clear MG (the Clear MG is phenomenal, I just dont find them as engaging as the Hadenys, which has a more fun/more mainstream tuning). I am also a fan of the light weight build that feels almost invisible on my head. They also feel well built and hopefully stand the test of time. Fully recommend!

Excelentes audífonos, el sonido es una experiencia distinta al ser audífonos abiertos. Recomandables al 100%

La struttura è molto solida, la comodità ad altissimi livelli, i padiglioni non risultano essere particolarmente grandi ma comunque non troppo piccoli da risultare fastidiosi. Materiali di prima scelta ne fanno un oggetto stupendo anche solo a livello di design mantenendo comunque una discreta leggerezza. La riproduzione è leggermente sbilanciata sui bassi quanto basta per rendere il suono caldo e musicale ma senza coprire medie ed alte frequenze comunque riprodotte con ottima precisione SOLO UN AVVISO CHE ESULA DALLA QUALITÀ DEL PRODOTTO: NON ACQUISTARE DA AUDIOZONA (approfondimenti in seguito) _______________ + COSTRUZIONE I padiglioni sono costruiti in maniera eccelsa, la precisione di assemblaggio è indiscutibile, i pad sono confortevoli e la regolazione semplice e solida. Restituiscono dunque una ottima sensazione di durabilità che dovrebbe essere garantita per lunghi anni e forse per lunghi spostamenti dato che viene fornita anche una pratica custodia molto resistente e gradevole. Da non sottovalutare la possibilità di ruotare i padiglioni tanto da poterli appoggiare in posizione completamente orizzontale, utile soprattutto in caso di spostamenti per ridurre al minimo l’ingombro. L’estetica è moderna, quasi futuristica tipica della casa produttrice, può piacere o meno tuttavia la qualità del lavoro resta indiscutibile anche a livello di semplice design. Solo un appunto riguarda le lunghe sessioni di ascolto (due ore o più), nell’ambito delle quali non ci saranno problemi relativi alla leggerezza e comodità ma si potrebbe registrare un lieve riscaldamento dei padiglioni. + PRESTAZIONI Le cuffie sono state testate connesse ad un Lake People G108 ed un Topping A90D alimentati attraverso RME ADI-2 DAC. La riproduzione è molto calda, musicale e leggermente sbilanciata sulle basse frequenze. Le basse risultano quindi leggermente amplificate il tanto che basta per rendere ancora più coinvolgente l’ascolto, non solo della musica ma anche per film e videogiochi. La riproduzione tuttavia resta accurata anche nelle medie ed alte frequenze, non c’è quindi l’effetto “incassato” che talvolta subiscono le voci a causa di un eccessivo e scellerato bilanciamento dei bassi. + ESPERIENZA DI ACQUISTO Per motivazioni varie che esulano dalla qualità del prodotto mi sono ritrovato a effettuare il reso del prodotto, il venditore è stato da subito diffidente (comprendsibile dato i tempi che corrono), tuttavia ha ritenuto di trattenere il 25% del valore del prodotto a causa di pieghe presenti sulla scatola (assolutamente non provocate da me, ma impossibile dimostrarlo), ed un graffietto sul connettore stock (che non ho neppure utilizzato) Il consiglio per acquisti cosI delicati è affidarsi a prodotti venduti e spediti da Amazon e diffidare di venditori terzi che talvolta pur beneficiando della immensa finestra di visibilità fornita da Amazon non ne adottano la medesima politica. + CONCLUSIONI Il dispositivo è valido sotto ogni punto di vista, progettato per essere ammirato, utilizzato con soddisfazione e per durare negli anni. La riproduzione è precisa non affaticante e leggermente calda, tanto quanto basta a rendere più musicale il contenuto. Consigliate soprattutto a chi preferisce un suono più caldo e da abbinare ad un amplificatore analitico e neutro per dare il giusto colore alla riproduzione.

Sound is warm and detailed with great tonality. They honestly sound more enjoyable than the Arya Stealth or Focal Clear OG to me. This is my second pair, the first I had a lemon so I returned it. This pair is much better It's the most comfortable headphone that I've ever worn. They are the perfect complement for my Arya SE.
