Focal Clear for $340 (us)

Even if that is used it represents an incredible sound quality per dollar.

Yeah. The pads and the headband are worn as fuck but not falling apart and are still structurally sound.

Honestly, even since I paid for the Arya Stealth, which as many have said, was not worth at its original price when it came out, it’s been such a kick in the nuts that I’ve never bothered to look at new headphones.

I know it’s purely subjective, but I just think a lot of them are overpriced as fuck. And it’s crazy how their resale value is so much less compared to the retail.

I’ve always had my eye on the Clear, as I always had a feeling the microfibre material of the pads and the headband were enough to make any preowned Clear’s value tank lol.

But yeah, it’s probably the best value audio purchase I’ve ever done. Period.
