It was more dynamic than “Setup 1”, punchier but… Too harsh in the treble for much listening for me. Vocals more centered, stage good and strong. I came in thinking this setup would be good, borderline phenomenal… I was disappointed. Setup 2: Element X -> Feliks Echo -> Utopia A clean listen but not necessarily “enjoyable” Leans bright, maybe too bright, depending on the track some sounds (claps for example) came in kinda hot. Very clear/transparent, good stage (width/depth). Setup 1: Matrix Element X -> SPL Phonitor -> Utopia Build quality is typical Focal build which looks and feels strong and high quality. I suspect it’s done to create a luxury experience and, well, it does feel like you bought something significant unboxing it. Look & Feel: The Focal presentation always seems to start with what I’ll call somewhat oversized but nicely done packaging. The sound was often brighter than I like and treble would get in the range of being rather piercing and fatiguing. The problem I had was getting to that “best” as I didn’t think it paired well with many of my amps (to my liking, at least). General thoughts / The TL DR: In my experience, at its best, the Utopia provided a clean, strong, and unrestrained view into my music. I really appreciate the opportunity to try out a flagship headphone like the Utopia and you guys engagement with the community. That experience has lead me to never wanna buy a McIntosh product ever.įound my write up… Focal Utopia Impressionsįirst off, thanks to Taron, Andrew, and Tyler for providing the Utopia and coordinating getting them around to all the people to be demoed. I am serious, I have a $50 dollar ChiFi AIO that has better quality knobs than the MHA150 both in actual material (MHA150 is the cheapest thinnest plastic you will ever feel) as well as actual pot (MHA150 is the loosest pot I have ever felt, you aren’t careful and you turn way too much and you blew out your eardrums and exploded your headphones). Let me tell you, the MHA150 has the cheapest knobs I have ever felt. The thing that would make me never buy a McIntosh product is their knobs. People are buying these because they have money, want a system, and don’t know better. People see them and think high quality and high end, but really it was all built from their past, with most of their current products being pretty trash. They are getting by because they are a “luxury” brand for HiFi now.

Since they kind of went full commercial, the new build quality is sub par on most of their products, they sound not so good, and are just way overpriced for what they are. You may have to select a menu option or click a button.I have heard and felt some modern McIntosh vs vintage McIntosh and I would say they are working on past glory.
