The upper treble was clean and crisp, presenting cymbal crashes tightly and precisely, without smearing. Midrange frequencies had heft and displayed a finesse that I rarely experience even with the best of headphones. Bass was exceptionally neutral: not lacking in the lowest registers nor overemphasized and bloated. Precise is a great word to describe the overall sound if I could only use one.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Focal","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43479604625641,"sku":"UTOPIA 2020 (B)","price":4400.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0065\/4432\/6771\/products\/Focal-Utopia-audio-46_1200x1200_97088ab7-0636-4081-b0ea-332df169e579.jpg?v=1759447736","url":"https:\/\/audio46.mom\/products\/focal-utopia-open-back-headphones-2020-packaging-b-stock","provider":"Audio46 Headphone Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
