Less than three years since the arrival of Focal's Utopia open-back flagship headphone, the £2,799 closed-back Stellia joins its exalted company, sporting beryllium drivers and the same high sense of listening luxury aimed at audiophiles. With memory foam used in the sumptuous-looking headband and the circumaural earcups, the Stellia is available in two finishes that Focal calls cognac and mocha.

In common with other designs in Focal's range, its 40mm full-range drivers have an M-shaped diaphragm to deliver a fast, dynamic and neutral performance. It claims a frequency range from 5Hz to 40kHz with 35ohm impedance and sensitivity specified at 106dB/1mW.

Supplied in a matching cognac or mocha faux-leather box, the Stellia comes bundled with a interchangeable 3m-long headphone cable fitted with a 4-pin XLR to connect to a suitably equipped home headphone amplifier, as well as a 1.2m cable fitted with a 3.5mm stereo jack for connecting to a portable music player, for example. A 3.5-to-6.35mm adapter jack is also supplied, as is a rigid travel case in a matching woven finish. The Stellia headphone is available to buy now and you can find out more about it here
