High-end studio headphones

The Focal Clear MG Professional is an open-backed dynamic studio headphone model designed for use in mixing and mastering applications. As the successor to the Clear Professional, this model is based on the same proven design, but relies entirely on coated magnesium for the membrane material (hence the name "MG"). Compared to the aluminium-magnesium alloy of the predecessor, this leads to a lower mass with comparable rigidity, resulting in exceptionally high sound fidelity, enhanced dynamics, and an outstandingly precise reproduction of details. The scope of delivery includes two cables connected on both sides (a 5m coiled cable and a 1.2m straight cable), a pair of replacement ear pads, and a high-quality case.

Precise and organic sound

The Focal Clear MG Professional offers a natural and very precisely detailed sound with an extended frequency response of 5Hz to 28kHz. The 40mm drivers are positioned slightly forwards in the circumaural cups, contributing to a surprisingly clear impression of depth and dimension in the mix. A honeycomb structure on the outer surface of the ear cups opens up the stereo stage, while a similar structure is used on the grille above the drivers to optimise treble reproduction. A frameless voice coil made of copper also ensures a powerful and at the same time well-defined bass reproduction.

Focal Clear MG Professional Headphones in its case

Reference for mixing and mastering

The Focal Clear MG Professional is made in France and is characterised by excellent workmanship and high wearing comfort. The ear cushions are made of memory foam, which adapts ergonomically to the shape of the head and is covered with a layer of microfibre. The relatively high weight of 450g is evenly distributed over the headband, which ensures that the headphones are comfortable to wear even during longer mixing and mastering sessions. Anyone looking for high-end studio headphones that meet professional demands in all areas should include the Focal Clear MG Professional in their shortlist.

About Focal

Focal is a French manufacturer, based in Saint-Étienne, which has been active in the hi-fi sector since 1979. Originally specialised in the production of drivers and complete loudspeakers, Focal has since 2002 diversified its product range, and now caters for the professional audio industry at large. In addition to a complete range of loudspeakers aimed at hi-fi enthusiasts, its product lines now include soundbars, car audio systems, headphones and studio monitors, which, in terms of features, choice of materials and design, have convinced and become prominent features in professional recording studios. Research and development, as well as a large part of the production process, takes place in France. The design of Focal speakers follows a philosophy that combines functionality with exceptional aesthetics. In order to achieve this, Focal works closely with famous names in the world of design.

A trustworthy perspective

The sound of the Focal Clear MG Professional has been adjusted to harmonise with the manufacturer's professional studio monitors. This makes it an ideal part of a monitoring system that still consists of Focal's Solo, Twin or Trio models. With its precise sound reproduction and its excellent spatial imaging, it of course also offers the possibility of checking mixes from a trustworthy perspective and with regard to the smallest of details with studio monitors from other manufacturers or in situations without additional speakers. Thanks to a relatively low impedance of 55ohms, the Focal Clear MG Professional can also be used for pure music enjoyment on smartphones or tablets without an additional headphone amplifier.

Top of the line headphones.

KLR Music 01.06.2022

Exceptional quality, even the slightest detail can be heard. I've send mine to Sonarworks for individual calibration and after that they added a profile for everybody, so enjoy yours with proper calibration! I use them for mixing, mastering, lots of production and recording vocal ideas with them. Every single movement of the DAW parameters is heard and distinguished. You can make such fine decisions and deliver your best work yet.
Without calibration they are closer to how a great pair of monitors sound in a studio room (in my opinion).
For main monitors I use Adam T8V but I mix and master more with the headphones, because it's easier and faster. Translation is perfect every single time. This is a great product overall, I have had them for a long while now and the investment is really worth it.

Very analytical, top quality but not a very "fun" set of headphones

TERD 27.01.2023

I got these to use them as reference headphones when mixing. For this they work brilliantly.

For casual listening they come across as perhaps a little TOO analytical. They're not as "fun" listening to as some of my other headphones like Audeze LCD-X.

Highly recommended if you need a precise, analytical pair of headphones for studio work.

For casual listening I would recommend testing before buying. You might find these a bit too analytical/clinical compared to other headphones in the same price range. This will be a matter of personal taste of course. These are certainly TOP quality headphones.

Awesome sound, a bit poor material quality for the money

MarcellT 02.04.2023

I've been using Focal Clear MG Professional for 1,5 year day by day. First of all, these headphones are the best of the bests in sound, at least for me. Music never sounded so natural and detailed like in these headphones. You can recognize every nuances that you adjust in a mix when you wear them. When everything sounds the most balanced both in volume and in tonal sense in these headphones, then your mix will be killer and so natural.
One thing that's bothering me is when I pick it up I feel that it will fall apart immediately. When the two speakers don't align perfectly and the headphones get a little twist, it feels it will break. Fortunately they don't break but it's an unexpected feeling from such an expensive headphones.
The other thing is that the red leather surfaces are very sensitive, they can get messy and dirty easily if you wear them day by day. The manufacturer gives an extra pair of ear cover foam in the package but the head bound also has this leather material which stays messy anyway.
But if you don't use them every day for hours and hours, probably it won't be a problem for several years.

These are outstanding headphones. Low and hi frequencies are natural, not hyped. Mids are accurate. I can trust any mix I do on these headphones to be perfect.
