help Focal Elear FAQ

Do the Focal Elear headphones use beryllium drivers?

No. The Elear uses 40 mm aluminum-magnesium drivers with Focal's M-shaped dome design, not beryllium drivers. The headphones are open-back and manufactured in France. [Focal specifications](https://www.focalnaimaudio.com/product/focal-elear/)

Are the Focal Elear suitable for commuting or an office?

They are open-back headphones, so sound leaks out and outside noise comes in. Focal describes them for low-noise listening environments rather than buses, airplanes, or shared offices.

Can a headphone amplifier drive the 80-ohm Focal Elear?

The Elear is rated at 80 ohms with sensitivity of 104 dB SPL per 1 mW. A good headphone amplifier or DAC can provide useful volume headroom, but the exact need depends on the output of the source device.

What cable and accessories come with the Focal Elear?

The package includes a rigid carrying case and a 3-meter OFC cable with a 6.35 mm stereo jack connected to two 3.5 mm ear-cup connectors. The headphones weigh about 450 grams. [Focal product page](https://www.focalnaimaudio.com/product/focal-elear/)
