11 Focal Clear Mg Pro Review

With an equal amount of clarity and detail as the Clear the MG provides a subtle texture that amplifies the sub-bass to being just noticeable. The French audio brand claims these drivers are lighter more rigid and better at damping delivering an improvement over its open-back predecessor the.

Naturally the no-EQ response across my test tracks was decent.

11 focal clear mg pro review. The clamping pressure is quite reserved the weight of the Clear MGs is friendly and if the pads were softer then this gear would rate among the best on head experience. The Focal design aesthetic is alive and well in the Clear Mg Pro. The highs return from the mid-treble onward.

There was some detail lacking and some brightness that was bothersome. First off the frequency response of the Focal Clear Mg is second to none. Warmer and fuller than the original Clear and with a smoother and more refined top end.

I would like to add some verdicts from other reviews. Designed for home as opposed to pro use the Focal Clear Mg sport the same 40mm drivers with M-shaped inverted magnesium domes hence the elemental Mg moniker as its professional counterpart. There will still be that edginess to the sound but EQ gets you 90 the way there.

The good news is you get 2 sets. In some sense the sins of Focal Clear in frequency response is less severe than other headphones we have tested so far. And now for the Clear MG Pro.

The Focal Clear Mg is an exemplary headphone with clean clear sound neutral tonal balance and wide sound stage. I will say that when properly equalized the Clear can have just as good of a tonality as the HD650 but with the added benefits of the insanely technical Focal driver design. The headband is well-padded while the cups are spacious and deep.

While I wasnt expecting a large amount of bass presence as the Clear headphones tend to deliver a more neutral response the MG was surprisingly dynamic and satisfying. Is this the home headphone to beat. I assume the normal Clear MG has the same drivers as the MG Pro.

The upper mids and lower treble are muted. Until recently however Focal only made one pair of headphones targeted at studio use. There is the tiniest bump at 1kHz.

They have a similar fit to the Focal Stellia but with microfiber ear cushions rather than leather which feels nice on the skin. Thank you for the review. The Focal Clear Mg are very comfortable.

In a nutshell. Feedback on the previous Clears was mixed. Great review Jude.

Its only drawback is its high price tag. Focal has adopted the Audeze sound for the Clear Mg. As I stated in the soundstage section of this review the MG Pro is unapologetic about its timbral accuracy and that couldnt be more true in the treble range.

The Clear MG is the latest member of the Focal headphone family and brings new materials and thinking to the process. People either loved or hated the red. Personally I think its striking.

I much prefer the spiciness of the original Clear to the safety of the Mg ProfessionalI have no intention of adding the Focal Clear Mg to my studio. The earpads on the Focal Clear Mg are superbly soft and make wearing the headphones comfortable. You describe them pretty much exactly how I hear my MG Pros.

Side by side youre always going to hear a more accessible audiophile sound with the original Clear. Write your own review for Eds Product - Change for 3pm. Yup its an Audeze well the muted upper mids and lower treble isnt as extreme.

They really pop against the black headphone design. Reviewed back in SOS January 2014 the Spirit Professionals boast a clean crisp sound are easy to drive from lowpowered sources and offer outstanding isolation. Janky short one and curly other one.

The Clear has a firmer headband than the Elegia but it doesnt apply the same unwanted pressure atop the head. The Clear Mg Pro has the same striking red perforated microfiber ear pads as the original Clear Pro. However the pads are decent needing to be softer.

Think of it as an Audeze but with a traditional dynamic driver. In other words they still have a lot to recommend them as generalpurpose studio. This works for and against the MG Pro as a whole because while the highs are presented in a balanced and clear tonality its completely relentless when it comes to brightness.
