Focal Celestee: New high-end closed headphones unveiled
From editor 1 month ago
The new Celestee aims to combine modern design, elegant finishes and high quality sound.
Its exclusive Focal speakers are said to guarantee excellent dynamics and high sound precision.
Acoustic treatment is applied in the earcups to avoid resonance and this is said to achieve uncompromised audio quality: The sound is said to be precise, pure and characterized by a beautiful depth in the bass response.
Celestee also aims to impress with its new Navy Blue and Soft Copper color tones. The selected noble materials, such as the semi-aniline leather on the ear pads, earpiece and earcups complete the design of the headphones and want to make it a distinctly aesthetic product. The geometry of the aluminum earpiece adapts precisely to the shape of the head and is said to have the optimal clamping force for even more wearing comfort.
The Celestee is a closed-back, circumaural headphone with 40mm aluminum/magnesium electrodynamic full-range drivers. These are said to offer exceptional dynamic range and extended linear frequency response at 23 kHz. Sound reproduction is said to be exceptionally accurate. The speakers’ “M” profile inverse dome and their larger dispersion area are said to enhance the purity of the sound.
Celestee is a pair of headphones for both home and on-the-go use. Due to its low impedance (35 ohms), it can be easily connected to a portable device.

- Hardcase in the colors of the headphones. With thermoformed molded imprint of the headphones. You can safely transport Celestee in this case.
