Damn a headphone I really want to try at the price but the horror qc stories definitely scare me away.

JoshuaLSame story here. I would've bought these a long time ago if QC & Focal/Drop customer service didn't seem to be an issue

Xii-NythThey are quite a bit cheaper, are they quite similar or different in terms of sound? The Focal looks so nice and I really want to try it but wish they would just fix their QC. Sales would jump so much.

BluebairSurely a lot of people are getting scared away here from the QC issues. I wish they would update the version and fix whatever issues it has. But probably clearing old stock and saving it for a future new version with new drivers. I wonder how many new sales they are still getting for the Elex. I just don't know if I could risk spending $549 on a headphone that commonly has issues when I live overseas as well.

Xii-NythDamn, just had a look and they are sold out at the moment, perhaps from the discount. Now not sure what the price will be when it is back. But I do not remember if the discount was even much, anyone remember? I think it was $399 for sale discounted. Oh I think it was $100 off, sigh, missed out. Edit - Came back in stock to order at $399 and now changed back to $499, guess missed out.

JoshuaLAgreed, it seems to be a problem with all Focal headphone models. My friends Utopias failed as well. That's not very impressive for anything retailing at $5k .
