Stellia Headphones

The Focal Stellia Headphones are constructed with luxurious materials, including full-grain leather on the headband and earcups, and memory foam cushioned earpads for comfort during extended listening sessions. The headband and yoke mechanical features were originally developed for the Focal Utopia Headphones. The consistent curve between these two elements offers flawless comfort, regardless of the shape and size of the listener’s face and head. The earpads are carefully crafted to deliver the ideal acoustics: 50% of their height is designed to diffuse sound through a non-perforated full-grain leather; 50% absorbs the audio signal through an acoustic cloth that covers the memory foam. This solution also provides a linear frequency range, between 1kHz and 10 kHz. The closed-back design of the Stellia provides better isolation from external noise compared to Focal's open-back headphones, making them more suitable for use in various environments. Despite being closed-back, the Stellia is engineered to maintain a spacious soundstage, which is typically more challenging to achieve in even the best closed-back designs.

Each component of the Stellia's design has been developed with optimal acoustics in mind, without compromising on style. The cognac and mocha finishes showcase each element and serve as a testament to Focal's build quality and meticulous attention to detail. As a high-end headphone, the Stellia is presented in a faux-leather case, in the same cognac and mocha color scheme. The carrying case houses two high-quality cables with the same materials and finishes—a 4 ft. unbalanced 3.5mm cable with a TRS jack connector for connection to a digital audio player (DAP), and a 10 ft. 4-pin XLR cable for use with a headphone amplifier. The Stellia delivers a very low impedance of 35 ohms to ensure uncompromising audio use with DAPs, achieving an impressive sensitivity of 106dB SPL / 1mW @ 1kHz.
