Dr. Elegia / Mr. Hyde - (Focal Elegia Review)

The Focal Elegia is a love/hate headphone. Great technical ability, but rather inconsistent (hence the title), especially with the stock pads. Toss some Dekoni Sheepskins on them though, and it turns into a very capable and well-rounded set of headphones, IMO. You can find lots of really good condition examples on the used market for around $300, and at that price I think they are definitely worth a look.
