Focal's legendary flagship headphone now has an improved design, new materials, reliability improvements, and subtle changes to an already unparalleled sonic experience.
We love the upgrades Focal has made to the Utopia. The design is modern, the new voice coil promises to be more reliable, and the recycled forged carbon yoke is light and sturdy. Most importantly, the sound quality remains exceptional.
At its core, the new Utopia is the same incredible headphone as its predecessor but enhanced in every way.
Utopia 2022 Features
Cup style
More information
Open-back headphone designs are often higher-performance but have poor noise isolation and leak sound. Closed-back designs provide better noise isolation and leak less sound.
Wearing style
More information
Over-ear headphones sit over your ear and surround your ear with a ring of padding. On-ear headphones are padded but rest on top of your ear. In-ear monitors are worn inside your ear canal.
Driver type
More information
Speakers and headphones use a device called a 'driver' to create sound. Different types of drivers have different strengths and weaknesses, but can all produce great sound. Common varieties include dynamic, planar magnetic, and electrostatic.
Amp required
More information
Some headphones require the power of an amplifier to reach comfortable listening volumes.
Exceptional, reliable sound
Proprietary 'M'-shaped pure beryllium drivers deliver dynamic and perfectly balanced sound. Enjoy authentic, precise, and vibrant sound with a broad and deep soundstage. An all-new aluminum and copper voice coil makes the driver extremely reliable while maintaining its excellent performance.
Premium materials
The light, modern and stylish forged carbon yoke complements a wide array of sophisticated materials and finishes in genuine lambskin leather and aluminum.
Modern design
An evolved design includes precisely shaped honeycomb grilles to ensure openness and complete decompression of the speaker driver, as well as subtle new details like the black chrome ring and enhanced red accents on the double.

Impedance
Impedance is a measure of the electrical resistance that a headphone's driver presents to the circuit powering it. Headphones with an impedance of over 120Ω (Ohm) typically require a dedicated amplifier.
|
80 Ohms |
|
Sensitivity
Sensitivity is a measure of how much volume a headphone will produce for a given unit of power. The more sensitive a headphone, the less amplification it needs.
|
104dB SPL / 1mW @ 1kHz |
|
THD
Total harmonic distortion describes how much distortion a headphone will produce at a given volume. The lower this number, the less distortion is produced.
|
<0.2 % @ 1kHz / 100dB SPL |
|
Frequency response
Frequency response is the range of frequencies that a headphone can produce at an audible volume. Ideally, a headphone's frequency response should cover the full range of human hearing (20Hz to 20KHz).
|
5Hz – 50kHz |
|
Speaker driver
Speakers and headphones use a device called a 'driver' to create sound. Different types of drivers have different strengths and weaknesses, but can all produce great sound. Common varieties include dynamic, planar magnetic, and electrostatic.
