This is what everyone's first audiophile open-back headphone can be. That's the message Focal have sent with Hadenys, an entry-level wired headphone for the masses.

What Hi-Fi? are already impressed. Built on the familiar, chic, compact chassis of the Bathys, Hadenys sounds great. Trademark 40mm M-shaped aluminum-magnesium dynamic drivers work with its open grilles to supply a healthy dose of space which Trusted Reviews noted.

As possibly one's first experience with open-back headphones, Hadenys however never once pushes listeners out of their comfort zone. Reference soundstage, dynamics and detail are delivered politely and palatably, never once beating the uninitiated over the head with excessive high-frequencies.

Also requiring zero amping, but improving with some, Hadenys gives you headroom to explore. Enquire in-shop about swapping Focal's stock mic cable with a balanced 4.4mm version, increasing this groundbreaking release – or its closed Azurys sibling's – audiophile credentials yet.

Product Description

Like every Focal, Hadenys combines stunning design for immersive listening experience, with unmatched portability and comfort.

These wired closed-back headphones boast a high-end design with Focal's signature style elements, featuring luxurious materials like leather, magnesium and aluminum.

It's this winning combination that ensures both durability and comfortable wear for any head shape. Inspired by the Hadean era, when the Earth completed its formation, Focal's rich brown colour gives it a distinctive touch, evoking earthly depth and organic warmth.

Its beauty is matched only by the serious technology it hides underneath. Like every Focal, 40mm M-shaped dynamic drivers that have been made in French facilities reside below its cups.

Built to be extremely pistonic in motion, the maximum potential travel of the Hadenys drivers give its bass proper low-frequency presence, speed and dynamics – useful on a noisy commute.

These are traits that remain as frequencies rise. Focal's humble 40mm driver dimensions and the superb damping qualities of magnesium mean movement stays pistonic and doesn't deteriorate into harsh modal break-up up top. Treble detail stays inherently warm and natural.

Focal engineered Hadenys seriously so you could have fun. Worth every penny as it gives you a taste of French finery, few entrances into the audiophile hobby are as credible as this new closed-back headphone.

Reviews

Probably the most all-rounded headphone at 1k

The Focal Hadenys is a smooth warm-neutral headphone retaining the Focal house sound. It's sold at a price only matched by the Elex with the comfort of a Bathys. Probably one of the best all-rounders you can get at this price point, and reminds me of the ZMF Atrium's sound. It delivers technical performance worthy of a 1k headphone, closely resembling a Clear. Soundstage is only above average (i.e. a tad smaller vs HD800, bigger than Sundaras/HD600), but imaging is very good. I find the Hadenys to be an excellent headphone worthy of the price tag.
