Focal Celestee FCELESTEE

35.5 Gaming Score

Why we recommend this ▼

A 40mm aluminium/magnesium driver and 35-ohm impedance give the Celestee closed-back headphones a balanced sound with deep, controlled bass that doesn’t require a dedicated amplifier. The luxury build pairs Navy Blue leather and Soft Copper accents with a light 160g weight for comfortable, stylish mobile use. It’s best for music purists seeking refined detail and bass extension on the go, though call performance is a clear weakness.
