If you're a fan of luxurious over-ear headphones, the arrival of a new pair of Focal cans always feels like a bit of a moment. Focal has a strong history in the world of high-end speakers, but the brand's recent form on the wearables side (see 2022's five-star Utopia (2022) open-backs and the sublime wireless Bathys) is what has us rubbing our hands in anticipation of something special.
That something special could come via the new open-backed Hadenys headphones. Unveiled officially at this year's High End Munich show, the new wired over-ears arrive alongside the slightly cheaper, but no less handsome, closed-back Azurys as Focal looks to bring its high-end offering a little closer to some semblance of affordability, but still very much on the premium side.
