Expect the best
Clear Mg Professional is the essential pair of headphones for discerning sound engineers and producers. To equip these open-back headphones’ 1 5/8" (40mm) full-range speaker drivers with M-shaped inverted domes; Focal engineers designed a new material: a magnesium cone. This offers extreme precision. The tonal balance is remarkable, as is the bass articulation and the level of detail across the full sound spectrum.
In addition to high-performance technologies, Clear Mg Professional offers impressive comfort and a unique aesthetic signature. The curve of the headband, high-resilience memory foam earpads, evenly-distributed weight... Everything has been covered to allow you to forget you're wearing headphones at all. Meanwhile, the black and red colours combined with the “honeycomb” signature on the earcups offer a touch of modern elegance.
KEY POINTS:
• A brand new magnesium cone for even greater dynamics
• A remarkable tonal balance across the full spectrum
• Comfortable and ergonomic
• 2 OFC 24 AWG copper cables supplied to suit all uses (3ft. or 1.2m + 16ft. or 5m spiral)
• Rigid carrying case supplied
Clear Mg Professional incorporates 1 5/8” (40mm) full-range speaker drivers with magnesium ‘M’-shaped inverted domes. Thanks to this brand new cone, combined with the frameless 1" (25mm)-diameter and 1/4" (5.5mm)-high copper voice coil, the sound experience is made extremely precise, delivering impressive detail across the full spectrum while preserving excellent tonal balance.
The flexibility of the surround offers lightness, therefore more dynamics and impact, particularly in the bass. The open grille inside the earcup closely follows the ‘M’ profile of the cone to further reduce adverse effects. With a 24kHz break-up, the high frequencies are extremely linear and the transient signals are respected. The headphones disappear to the benefit of the audio signal, with its uncompromising and even faster transfer quality.
The headband design creates a constant curve, wherever the head turns. The weight of the headphones is distributed evenly, preventing the localised pressure point phenomenon. The solid aluminium yoke is covered with a structured black paint, for sleek design and scratch resistance. Instead of the traditional vertically rotating mechanics, these have been moved within the headband for even greater comfort. This allows excellent sealing, particularly beneath the ears, to prevent any acoustic leakage, synonymous with significant bass loss. Finally, the highly resilient memory foam earpads complete the comfortable, open feel.
The outer surface of the earcups features a honeycomb pattern for an even more sophisticated and elegant look. It's enhanced by the black and red finish for a blend of classicism and modernity. This openness promotes the sensation of spatialisation and improves the image of the soundstage. The compact carrying case is thermoformed to the shape of the headphones and has been woven in the same colours. Finally, two low-resistivity OFC 24 AWG copper cables are supplied.
Discover Clear Mg Professional, the new high-end open-back headphones from Focal. Professionals can count on its impressive design, comfort and extreme reliability thanks to its high-quality materials and fast transfer.

GREAT HEADPHONE
The quality of audio produced by headphones is absolutely subjective; with just one exception — Focal Clear MG Pro!
Very nice, good quality construction, sound GREAT. Wanting to collect all current Model of Focal Headphones.
The best headphone ever I heard!!
Crisp details balanced sound with extended bass and smooth highs. Perfect for casual listening and for professional mixing.
Incredible sound, timbre and clarity. Resolving beyond its price point.
Amazing!
Using these cans for my homestudio, even while breaking them in I found the additional clarity made it easier to make decisions in sound design and production. Rather than clinical I find using the Clear MG Pro's inspiring and significant upgrade from my tried and trusted DT 770 Pro's that will now be limited to recording vocals.
Very happy to have the Focal Clear MG pros in the collection! In addition to the Meze Elite, I wanted to have a quality dynamic driver to compliment the planar sound from those cans. My initial impressions are as follows below.
Quality: Interestingly enough, I went to check out a pair of the Clear MGs at a dealer locally to me and it felt a little loose, slightly creaky when handling and I didn’t feel it met the expectations I had. Perhaps it was B stock, a demo or a return, however at a different AD I had a chance to check the pros out and it was a night and day difference. It felt super solid, and everything all around felt better regarding handling. I know they are the same outside of color and accessories, but that was my experience. I suggest going to support your local ADs and checking them out for yourself, at this price point you want to be sure your expectations have been met. So far, quality has been great and I look forward to putting them to work!
Sound: The sound, as many reviews have said, really is something special delivering an intimate yet dynamic sound and speaker like intimacy and punch. I’m rounding about the 40 hour burn in time and they sound great to me. A lot of this is subjective as your chain will have a huge impact, as well as potentially EQing. As I’m dialing in the sound I want from my chain, I find the Clear MG pro is sounding better over a short time. For what it’s worth, I wouldn’t say it is a major difference outside of the box but noticeable just like any speakers or subs as they break in. I’m currently running on an RME ADI 2 FS and it’s a great pairing. As far as the negatives, as I play with EQ I can find I get slightly fatigued on listening, however that can be clamp force breaking in and of course my custom settings. Also, volume is absolutely a part of the conversation as well as it obviously
changes your perception of what you hear. To be fair, testing it out on a flat out of the box eq it would need to be pretty loud to get fatiguing. These sound great the louder you go, and I can easily see slipping away to the music and listening too loud because it sounds so punchy and good. Take care of your ears people, watch your volume settings!
Packaging: The packaging and contents are all great and are in parity with an item at this price point. With the pros, you get extra ear pads vs a balanced cable with the brown MGs. For me, I prefer this color way and the pictures don’t do the phones justice, especially regarding the slight splatter pattern on the black exterior part of the housing. As far as the cables, they do appear to be high quality, however the shorter one is too short for my tastes and has a good amount of memory so it’s been kinked up the past few days, I’m sure that will improve but a “lazy” cable that just hangs would be fantastic. The spiral cable is heavy for my application (probably doesn’t apply to all, I suppose it depends on where you listen or work). It’s longer for sure, but the trade off from the short one is tough and I’m using the short one for now. Connectors etc all are branded and very upscale feeling, even mentioning the above.
I look forward to one day hearing the Utopias and the difference between the two, but if you are on the fence about the Clear MG or MG Pro, demo them and compare for yourself! Planars are great, and have a different sound experience but there is nothing like some old school yet new school drivers to reproduce music and sound that is all too familiar.
Happy listening!
知人のsolo be6を聴いてfocalのサウンドを知りました。立体的で低域が美しく衝撃的でした。
しかし私は住宅環境が理由でオープンエアーでモニターを鳴らすことができなかった。
そこから月日はながれ…つい最近になって存在を知ったのが今回購入したプロダクトです。
自宅に届いてすぐ、RME adi2-pro fsに接続しました。あの奥行きのあるfocalのサウンドが聞こえてきました、思わず「凄い!」と声が出てしまいました。
amazing
Easily the best headphones I've ever used for mixing. Enjoyable to listen to, but also accurate.
I am a professional producer and recording engineer, and have had many earphones for checking mixes before. These are beyond a doubt the best for judging EQ and volumes. For me they are the first one's I can trust.
Spatial clarity and definition! These headphones are just spectacular, I am finally rediscovering music on a Hi-Fi level. I cannot take them off my head.
This is my first pair of audiophile quality headphones and even though they are not fully burning in yet I am very impressed with the warmth, the flat response and the level of detail throughout the frequency range. The build quality is fantastic and even though they feel heavy in my hand they are very comfortable and non-fatiguing on my head.
Great product, Good for mixing, provides very good spatial information!
Best investment I’ve made in long time, jus wish the cable was a little longer but I’m sure there’s a reason.
Very comfortable to wear, with excellent frequency response and transient detail.
Amazingly accurate sound.
Great Product For Audio Monitoring
Focal Clear MG Professional headphones are the right tool when it comes to work on any recording, mixing and mastering project.
Absolutely the best headphones I ever used
VERY NEUTRAL ACOUSTICALLY AND LESS TIRING TO WEAR. DEFINITELY ENHANCES THE ENTIRE MIXING EXPERIENCE.
These are amazing. Definite upgrade from the HD600. They maintain a similar sound, but are more full in the bass/mids. The highs are crisp but smooth at the same time. The soundstage is definitely wider than the hd600. I would recommend these.
Excellent!!!
今までBEYERDYNAMIC DT1990PROを使用してきました。
付け心地はBEYERより重いのも関わらず、重さを全く感じさせないくらい良いです。
付けていても耳が痛くなることはなく、何時間でも聴いてられます。
幾ら音質が良くても付け心地が最悪だと聞く気が失せてしまいます。
よって最高のリスニング体験をさせてくれるヘッドフォンだと思います。
また、音の分離も良く低音から高音まで、BEYERでは聴き取り難かった音も聞き取ることができています。
音質はBEYERを二回りくらい良くした感じで、解像度が高く、ボーカルがより近づき、曲によっては耳元でささやいているかのように聞こえます。
まだ2日しか聴けていませんが、とても満足しています。
Pleasantly balanced, powerful and with a warm fundamental tone as well as high detail resolution.
I've been searching for the absolute best headphones to use on mixing. And since I'm working primarily with jazz music, sound quality standards are high, so I need to trust my headphones 300%. And I'm glad I've found these Clear MG Professional headphones. Neutral, warm, deep, magnificent — and those are just my first impressions, I hope as I use them, I will love them more and more on every new listen.
These headphones are on a whole other level. They are super comfortable and the sound is unreal! I also own the Focal Sub 6, so I already knew these were going to be great and super high quality, and I wasn't disappointed!
Absolutely stunning headphones. To my ears, these are perfectly balanced with a touch of warmth from the lower end that makes it the perfect sound signature for me personally.
Technology has come so far . I have never mixed in headphones until I purchased the Clear MG Professional they are so accurate in delivery of sound I guess that's where the name comes in "Clear" :)
The best headphones I've used for mixing! And I have owned HD800/HD800s and LCD-X and sold them after I got the Clears.
Amazing headphones. Great sound staging.
Love the focal brand been a user for years. I’ve accomplished some great headphone mixes with these folk! Right on Focal!
Very good.
Purist in every nature. It's like having the FOCAL SM-9's over your ears.
FLAWLESS
Amazing headphones and the best fidelity for recording and mixing in a studio environment. Great for tracking guitar and vocals as well. Highly recommend these set of studio grade reference headphones - very enjoyable listening experience as well over multiple hours.
Excellent headphones. The sound is very flat and transparent and produces very punchy lows and clean midrange.
Awesome
Very amazed how this product sound, love it.
Simply incredible. Never heard such clean bass from a dynamic.
