Focal Clear headphones
I think overall sound signature, they are incredibly similar, but the Clear has more punch and slam. The 800S pulls ahead in soundstage, listening to orchestra on the 800S is the equivalent of being there.- texx2818

Cayin RU7: 1-Bit Resistor Network Dongle DAC /Amp
I did! Listening to an album drains it so quickly. I can't really do more than 64 because even with a DDHifi cable it clips.- texx2818

More initial impressions: Earlier I was running these off of the Woo Tube Mini, I am currently jamming the FiiO Q15, and while the punch is more subdued, the Clear are very effortless. Not my 800S, but close.- texx2818

Cayin RU7: 1-Bit Resistor Network Dongle DAC /Amp
I love the sound, absolutely stunning from a dongle. But the amount of trade offs is a bit exhausting, plus the power draw…considering selling mine. It drinks my 14 Pro’s battery like an alcoholic doing Jager shots- texx2818

Early impressions...well, certainly not disappointed off of the Tube Mini. Only listened to AiC's Jar of Flies (my test album), but quite impressive.- texx2818

Never listened to the OG, I had the 2022. I'll be the first to admit, I'm looking for colored sound, usually. With the exception of my 800s and the Clear (which come today, yay)- texx2818

They were indeed amazing, but I think a bit too transparent and clinical, as dumb as that sounds.- texx2818

Just grabbed myself a pair of Clears for $700. Never listened tot hem before. I had the Utopia 22s which were amazing but so overpriced, so I'm curious to give the open back Focals another shot.- texx2818
