Nice one Lachlan,
Missing you guys and your awesome store
yoooo its lachlan!!!!! haven't seen you since your last video on your main channel
How come have I visited the store twice and did not know about the channel? Cheers from Brazil!
I bought these when they were first available. How much of difference is the Celestee to the stellia? Isn't worth upgrading to the stellia? I tried also the HD 820 and I didnt like them at all. Awesome video!😊
Thank you so much!
Im probably going to skip these.
Simply because I had the Elegia before and I hated them.
Im just so unsure if these are right for me. I need one that is good for gaming as well.
Hey :) I am still "searching" for a closed back version of the r70x or focal clear mg. Any advice ? I've tested the LCD2Closed (new Edition) and Focal Elegia so far... The Elegia has a horrible tonality (for my taste) and the LCD2Closed is a bit too bright in the treble. I just can't find any with smoother high end sound without being too analytical and a good base response. The r70x is still by far the best headphone for my personal taste, and I have tested A LOT of headphones. I own the HD600, HD650, HD660S, Focal Clear + Clear MG and I have tested like almoste the whole HiFiman Range (included the arya and ananda), a lots of Beyerdynamic headphones and so on... maybe the LDC X Closed (new edition?) but I assume, they will be even brighter than the LCD2Closed...
Based on what you are saying, the four that come to mind for that thicker, smoother tone to try would be: Beyerdynamic T5 Gen 3, DCA Aeon 2 Closed and Focal Stellia.
@@MinidiscAu Thanks :))
You could also check the Focal Radiance
first!
Haha hope you’re doing well Mike!
@@MinidiscAu yeah, things are good. Can’t complain. Hope you are doing well too. Good to see you still making videos about audio gear.
The mask makes me turn away

It depends on what you like / don't like about the Celestee! I prefer the Stellia, but I wouldn't say it sounds 2x / 3x better for 2x /3x the price. For some customers, the improvements would be worth the extra cost. Of course this depends on your personal budget ;) Thanks for your kind words! - Lachlan
@@MinidiscAu I'm looking for close backed heaphones. Do the stellia have a wider soundstage?
@@thelonepainter4760 I have the Celestee and put on the Dekoni Stellia Pads on them. They give you a little more bass and also a larger sound stage, and actually are more comfortable to me. I enjoy them.
