I‘ve owned the Celestee for the past month or so. While they are very comfortable to wear for extended use (and I personally love their colour), I’m bitterly disappointed by their performance.
Despite 50+ hours of running in, they sound no better via my Meridian Prime/PSU Headphone/DAC than via my 1st generation iPhoneSE. This is, despite my Meridian Prime being fed Tidal/MQA sources - either directly from my Intel NUC/Roon Rock via USB, or via my Meridian 218 via VanDenHul D103III interconnects. Switching sources, the Celestee performance is no better when listening to either my Meridian 506.2 CD Player, nor when listening to FM on my Meridian 504 Tuner.
Celestee performance is ‘neutral’ at best, with no discernible Bass response nor Bass extension that I can hear. Upper frequencies are not as crystal clear nor as sparkling that would be expected for headphones at this price point. The Celestee definitely does not deliver an ‘audiophile’ performance.
Yes, I agree that the supplied 1.2 metre cable is far too short - and is only suitable for direct connection to my iPhone. Other, more expensive, Focal Headphones are supplied with 1.2 metres and 3 metres long cables. If you want to buy the longer 3 metres long (Focal Clear) cable for Celestee it’s an additional £199.
Subsequently, I do not recommend the Focal Celestee.
