Focal list the Clear as their flagship open-back headphone (despite the more expensive Utopia being technically a higher level open-back headphone in their range). Check out the review where I discuss the Clear and how I think it compares to the similarly priced or more expensive alternatives from Sennheiser and AKG.
Think the Clears are just right for you? Here's a link to the listing on Amazon - it'll cost you nothing and help support this channel while we grow: amzn.to/2NVmcKk
