Focal Discontinues Utopia And Replaces It With New Utopia 2020

Things to consider before buying an audiophile headphone

Since its initial release, the Utopia has been a staple of open-back, audiophile headphones. Now, Focal has opted to discontinue its current run and replace it with an upgraded 2020 edition. Arche bundles that include the now discontinued Utopia will now feature the 2020 model. Focal’s flagship headphone will now be supplied with 2 cables instead of one, a 4-pin XLR, and a 3.5mm cable with a quarter-inch adapter.
