Stellia is the flagship model of closed-back headphones in the lineup of French company Focal. These top-of-the-line headphones combine exclusivity with elegance, as the technical specifications and aesthetic qualities perfectly complement each other.
The design of the headband and earcups follows in the footsteps of the Focal Utopia model, ensuring the same highest level of comfort with thick and soft memory foam earpads.
The finish of the Focal Stellia is crafted from premium unpolished full-grain leather, available in "cognac" and "mocha" shades, as well as from aluminum and stainless steel. The innovative wideband driver with a dome made of pure beryllium in an 'M' shape, along with a frameless voice coil, forms an extremely lightweight and responsive system.
As a result, these headphones boast the widest frequency range from 5 Hz to 40 kHz and an impedance of only 35 ohms, with a sensitivity of 106 dB. This means that the headphones can be used with both stationary Hi-Fi amplifiers and less powerful portable devices.
In terms of sound, Stellia delivers impeccable accuracy and tonal balance, from precise bass to meticulous detailing of the highest frequencies.
The exclusive driver was not the sole focus of Focal engineers. They also integrated ventilation openings in the closed-back earcups to expand the frequency response, utilized EVA foam behind the driver to absorb high-frequency reflections, and incorporated acoustic diffusers to eliminate standing waves, ensuring distortion-free sound reproduction. Focal Stellia pushes the boundaries of what is expected from reference closed-back headphones.
