At $990, they are definitely on the premium side of the price spectrum, but at a glance, the headphones at least offer a design in line with their luxury aspirations. I mean, just look at these things:<\/p>\n<figure class=\"post-image post-mediaBleed aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-1336115 lazy\" alt=\"\" width=\"450\" height=\"675\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 450px) 100vw, 450px\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn0.tnwcdn.com\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/1\/files\/2021\/01\/DSC_3573_1.jpg\" data-lazy=\"true\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn0.tnwcdn.com\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/1\/files\/2021\/01\/DSC_3573_1.jpg 1640w, https:\/\/cdn0.tnwcdn.com\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/1\/files\/2021\/01\/DSC_3573_1-140x210.jpg 140w, https:\/\/cdn0.tnwcdn.com\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/1\/files\/2021\/01\/DSC_3573_1-180x270.jpg 180w, https:\/\/cdn0.tnwcdn.com\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/1\/files\/2021\/01\/DSC_3573_1-90x135.jpg 90w, https:\/\/cdn0.tnwcdn.com\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/1\/files\/2021\/01\/DSC_3573_1-796x1195.jpg 796w, https:\/\/cdn0.tnwcdn.com\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/1\/files\/2021\/01\/DSC_3573_1-1592x2390.jpg 1592w\"\/><\/figure>\n<p>Featuring a navy blue and copper design, the Celestee sit below the company\u2019s Stellia\u00a0($2,999)and Radiance\u00a0($1,300) headphones, but are replacing the company\u2019s earlier Elegia.\u00a0 If the Celestee is anything like Focal\u2019s other fancy headphones, the large leather earpads should provide hours of comfort. The headphones should also provide a decent amount of isolation from ambient sounds, although with no active noise-cancellation circuitry, don\u2019t expect these to block out sounds like a Sony or Bose.<\/p>\n<p>Like the Radiance, the Celestee uses an aluminum\/magnesium, 40mm driver covering the full range of frequencies. They\u2019re also designed to be easy to drive from portable devices, meaning your phone \u2014 or more likely these days, your phone dongle \u2014 should have enough power to get decent sound from them. In terms of accessories, the headphones come with a sturdy carrying case and a 4-foot cable with a 3.5mm jack, as well as a 1\/4 inch adapter.<br \/>\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Discover Celestee headphones\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/83mXPtQQgHk?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><br \/>\nWhile the Celestee is joining a family of excellent headphones \u2014 I\u2019ve heard most of them, and I\u2019ve liked most of them \u2014 I can\u2019t help but wish the company would branch out with some of its portable offerings. Bluetooth <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/technology\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"4\" title=\"Technology\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">technology<\/a> has improved enough that differences from wired audio are often negligible, and even other high-end headphone makers have begun offering some form of Bluetooth connectivity. The company does have its Listen Wireless line, which also sound pretty swell, but don\u2019t have noise canceling.<\/p>\n<p>But if you\u2019re the kind of audiophile who doesn\u2019t flinch at a $990 price tag and considers the phrase \u201chigh-end Bluetooth headphone,\u201d to be an oxymoron, the Celestee should be another welcome addition to Focal\u2019s lineup.
