The Azurys is their favourite closed back of many they've had, used daily for 5-7 hours in the office, though its soundstage is small.

Owns both the Azurys and Bathys and finds the Azurys wins hands down on sound, more mellow and less fatiguing.
A longtime Focal Listen user who got the Azurys and found it muffled and boomy.
Owns and uses the Azurys a ton, calling it the best closed back they've owned: a warm Harman sound with recessed treble and slightly thin vocals.
Finds the Azurys insanely comfy at the sides, but even at its largest the headband is too short, pushing their ears against the pads.
Received the Azurys and found it not much different from their AirPods Max and Edition XS, so returned it.
Found the Azurys nicely built and tuned but a bit too bassy and trebly and overpriced, so sold it for the HD 480 Pro.
Has had the Azurys for months and it is one of their favourites at home and walking around, with minimal sound leakage.
The Azurys is the first closed back they have truly loved.
Listened to the Azurys at CanJam and found it maybe 5% better than their FiiO FT1 at three times the cost.
Owns the Azurys and FT1 and finds the Azurys more natural and full-bodied with better dynamics, technicalities and mids.
Owns the Azurys and FT1 and strongly prefers the warmer, more relaxed FT1 out of the box.
Finds the Azurys has treble peaks and grainy treble.
Bought the Azurys at full price but sold it after getting the FT1, finding the sound gap too small and the tuning bloated.
Couldn't sell their Azurys fast enough, finding it extremely bloated, muddy and low resolution, though its build quality is excellent.
Bought the Azurys after trying many headphones and likes its sound as an upgrade over their DT770, though the cable is poor and the fabric pads bother them.
Tried the Azurys and found it less comfortable than the Aeon 2 Noire.
Loves their Focal Azurys so much it replaced their HD 660S2 as their main headphone.
The Focal Azurys were their biggest disappointment this year, with clamp that makes them their second most uncomfortable headphone.
After brief brain burn-in, their Focal Azurys sound incredibly natural and balanced, a nice relaxed listen.
Returned the Focal Azurys after a month: they didn't sound great to them and had an extreme amount of clamp force.
Has no issues at all with the treble on their Focal Azurys; it depends on the clamp.
Found the Focal Azurys narrow-feeling and uncomfortable on their head.
