Overview of Focal Hadenys Open-and-Closed-Back Hi-Fi Headphones for the Home

Focal unveils two new sets of open- and-closed-back headphones: Hadenys and Azurys

Focal introduces Hadenys and Azurys, open- and closed-back headphones, making the purity of high-fidelity sound accessible to as many people as possible. Born from the French brand’s distinctive expertise in sound and made in France, these passive headphones combine patented speaker driver technologies, comfort, and sophisticated aesthetics to deliver sensational listening, at home or on the go.

HADENYS, OPEN-BACK HEADPHONES FOR THE HOME

These open-design, passive headphones are intended for use at home. They offer an enveloping sound experience, capturing every musical nuance with great richness. Inspired by The Hadean, an eon in which the Earth was first
formed, their brown colour evokes a return to source, giving the headphones an organic, timeless style. Added to this are patented Focal technologies and strong design codes, one of the brand’s signatures: honeycomb grilles,
genuine leather, and breathable woven fabric headband and yoke for even greater comfort and lightness. With Hadenys, listening at home is precise, dynamic, and warm.

EXCLUSIVE FOCAL SPEAKER DRIVERS

The Hadenys and Azurys headphones feature speaker drivers that are designed and crafted in France at Focal’s workshops in Saint-Étienne. These speaker drivers are the same as those found in the Bathys headphones, which were launched in October 2022 as the brand’s first wireless headphones with active noise-canceling technology. The Bathys headphones have received worldwide acclaim for their exceptional performance. These 15/8" (40mm) speaker drivers with aluminum/ magnesium ‘M’-shaped dome have been perfectly adjusted to fit these passive headphones and deliver detailed, warm, and dynamic high-fidelity sound. Paying meticulous attention to every detail, Focal provides each set of headphones with a matching coloured carrying case and necessary cables.

Made in France in Focal’s workshops, the Hadenys wired open-back headphones combine contemporary design and high-fidelity sound for a listening experience that is rich in sensations while being at home. Their exclusive Focal 15/8'' (40mm) Aluminium/Magnesium speaker drivers offer a remarkable depth of sound and precision; the sound is warm and enveloping. In addition to their performance, Hadenys stand out for their aesthetics and shades of brown, a colour as on-trend as it is timeless.
