Reply to comment by juannyca5h in Just opened up my brand new pair of 800s! Amazing. by CultofCedar

I have a Focal headphone and Focal is known for their drivers just failing randomly. Things break though, it’s just a higher financial risk when it’s an expensive headphone. Higher priced things should be built well, but that’s not always the case.

Agreed 100%. Shit happens and we purchase these things to use them and enjoy them, worrying about it sucks and would preoccupy my already crazy OCD about keeping things very well taken care of lol. Comfort and build quality are way up the checklist for me with cans. It’s a bummer because they are legendary headphones for soundstage from all accounts. Still, for the 20 or so times we’ve seen this over the years, there are thousands of pairs that we don’t hear about working as designed I’m sure.
