Pros

  • after liked focal sound i purchased Focal Stellia I'm on the sky everytime i listen music with it. FOCAL is one of the brand that making serious headphones it cost fortune but worth it :)
  • I purchased Focal Stellia I'm on the sky everytime i listen music with it. FOCAL is one of the brand that making serious headphones it cost fortune but worth it :)
  • the Focal Stellia has got to be the sexiest headphone ever.
  • By contrast, the Focal Stellia I got this morning are blowing me away today; they don't sound like a closed back to me. At all.
  • You need to hear the stellias, they are absolutely incredible for me

Cons

  • Focal Stellia: Much warmer than the iSvarna with less natural timbre (how realistic instruments and vocals sound). Instrument separation and layering is far superior on the iSvarna. The Stellia is maybe a tad bit more dynamic and punchy...
  • So Stellia is incredibly detailed, but at the same time insanely flat, as if they purposely built it for you to EQ to your liking... Stellia is slightly uncomfortable to wear for the 3k price tag
  • I owned the Stellia and bass was so much fun, but the mids are dipped and unclear sound like underwater thing. Nonetheless I love it.
  • Package-wise, everything I touched feels premium and worthy of the hefty price tag... The Stellia, just like I anticipated, has a far better vocal and treble response. The sound is airy but not too fatiguing. It excels far better in genr...
  • Definitely more V-shaped than the Cadence. The bass is a bit punchier than the Cadence, but not as well controlled. The Stellia’s work really well at low-to-medium volume listening sessions.

Package-wise, everything I touched feels premium and worthy of the hefty price tag... The Stellia, just like I anticipated, has a far better vocal and treble response. The sound is airy but not too fatiguing. It excels far better in genres like rock, electric, and pop... I think, this may be the biggest drawback of the Stellia. With a price tag of $3,000, I would really appreciate a pair of headphones with no pressure point, yet the ear cups are now clamping the connecting tissue of my jaw, and it is especially not pleasant in the middle of a long listening session.

I have a pair of Stellias as well and the Bathys' perfromance is just as enjoyable.
