Designed in France by people who really care about their work, the Stellia provides incredible sound isolation with unparalleled detail and resolution thanks to Focal's "Formless" Beryllium M-Shaped Dome Driver.

The History Leading to the Stellia

Focal has a storied history as a speaker company and they entered the headphone market with a splash when they introduced the Elear and Utopia a few years ago. They mixed incredible sound with an elegant, well-designed product. Then they released the Clear and Elegia proving that their initial success was no fluke.

And now, they've launched the Stellia. Equipped with their latest technology and all the knowledge they've acquired in building the rest of the headphones in their legendary line-up.

The Stellia delivers exceptional sound quality everywhere you go, without compromising on style or sophistication. Because, at Focal, innovation goes beyond technology; it influences product use and aesthetics.

A LISTENING EXPERIENCE WORTHY OF THE BEST LOUDSPEAKERS

Stellia integrates a new generation of exclusive speaker drivers, capable of working at low sound levels while offering an extremely extensive frequency response (5Hz- 40kHz). Thanks to the numerous signature Focal technologies incorporated within these speaker drivers (frameless 100% copper voice coil, ‘M’-shaped pure Beryllium dome, etc.), Stellia delivers extreme sound precision, in both bass articulation and treble details. The voice realism is quite simply astonishing.

FORTY YEARS OF EXPERTISE AND PASSION

For 40 years, Focal has been designing and developing exceptional products drawing on its expertise and passion. Constantly innovating. Our engineers worked tirelessly on Stellia to achieve the very best. Vents are integrated to extend the speaker driver’s frequency response; an EVA foam positioned behind the speaker driver absorbs high frequencies; acoustic diffusers break up standing waves to obtain sound reproduction that is free of interference... Focal has also strictly overseen every stage in Stellia’s creation, from the development process to industrialization, developing a specific robot to meet the requirements of manufacturing these headphones.

COMFORT AND ELEGANCE

Stellia uses the headband and yoke mechanical features originally developed for the Utopia headphones. The consistent curve between these two elements offers flawless comfort, regardless of the shape and size of the listener’s face and head. This comfort is enhanced by the high-resilience memory foam used for the elegant, high-isolation full-grain leather earpads.

Each Stellia component has been developed with optimal acoustics in mind, without compromising on sophistication. The two cognac and mocha finishes showcase each element and are a testament to the meticulous attention paid to each and every detail.

BEAUTIFUL, INSIDE AND OUT

For high-end headphones, a high-end pack. Stellia is presented in a faux-leather case, in the same cognac and mocha color scheme. A storage case houses two high-quality cables with the same materials and finishes. The first cable measures 101/8 feet (3 meters) and is ideal for use at home on a high-end amplifier. The second is designed to be portable: measuring 33/8 feet (1.2m) with a 1/8" (3.5mm) stereo jack, it is the perfect solution for connecting Stellia to a portable audiophile player.

The rigid travel case, in cognac and mocha woven finishes, provides effective yet stylish protection for Stellia when you are on the move.
