Finds the Hadenys a laid-back listen with great mid-bass that could replace an HD 6XX, though less resolving than the Elex.

positive

Owns both the Hadenys and HD 660S2 and finds the Hadenys more balanced and naturally open.

positive

Loves the Hadenys because a cable with a boom mic makes it an all-in-one headphone for music, gaming and calls.

positive

Finds the Hadenys a good middle ground between the HD660S2 and Clear MG, with HD 6XX-like tuning and Harman bass, likely to replace their 660S2.

positivegreat bass

Loves the sound of the Hadenys but finds it one of the most uncomfortable headphones they've worn, with a narrow, barely padded headband.

mixeduncomfortable

Owned the Clear OG for two years before selling it and now vastly prefers the Hadenys' tonality and timbre, though the Clear is more technical.

positive

Tried the Hadenys and HD650 side by side and found no comparison; the 650 sounded thin and tinny.

positive

Tried the Hadenys in store and found it quite nice, but something in the upper frequencies didn't agree with their ears.

mixed

Their Hadenys earpads wore down and tore after a year, and aftermarket pads are very hard to find.

negativebuild quality issues

Finds the Hadenys absolutely worth it with fantastic bass for an open back and a great upgrade from the HD650 except in timbre.

positivegreat bass

Straight out of the box finds the Hadenys better than their HD660S2.

positive

Ordered replacement pads for the Hadenys from Focal; quoted four weeks, they took seven months, so they sold the headphones.

negativebuild quality issues

Received the Hadenys and had pretty positive first impressions on games and music from just an Apple dongle.

positive

Tried the Hadenys and Arya Stealth and found it a toss-up: the Hadenys wins for daily wear and style.

positive

Their Hadenys joint cracked and they had to fix it with duct tape, calling Focal's quality poor.

negativebuild quality issues

Owns the HD660S2 and Hadenys and finds them similar, with slightly better bass on the Focal.

positive

Didn't like the Hadenys because the small cups touched their ears; the Celestee sounded better with EQ.

negativeuncomfortable

Returned the Hadenys because the cups were too small to use.

negativeuncomfortable

Has and likes the Hadenys, an intermediate step up from the HD 6XX.

positive

Heard the Hadenys and had fit issues with the pad size and depth.

mixeduncomfortable

Loves the Hadenys' energetic, fun sound with anything, but plastic near the right cup broke just putting them on.

mixedbuild quality issues

After 18 days finds the Hadenys very light and comfortable.

positivecomfortable

Their Focal Hadenys sound incredibly natural and balanced, though they'd like slightly more detail up top.

positive

Ended up with the Focal Hadenys and quite likes them, preferring their upper-mid clarity.

positive

Finds the Hadenys a big build-quality upgrade and better than the Edition XS, but the fit didn't work for them long term.

mixeduncomfortable

Has had the Hadenys for three months and they've worked very well, even straight from a MacBook.

positive

Auditioned the HD 800 S but bought the Focal Hadenys instead; they're the best for them.
