If Bluetooth: Bathys, of course... Otherwise, if money is no object: definitely Clear OG. Othewise, Elex is a better value at half the price of OG. Slightly more opinionated take: personally I wouldn't get the Bathys even though they have good sound.
Getting back to the point: These are both *excellent* headphones, but from someone who's main genres are also Indie/Alternative rock, I think the Elex is a better choice of headphone for you. The Ananda is simply too limp for those genres, in my experience.

Before I start though, there's a few housekeeping items I need to point out regarding the Clear. First, it costs $1,500 vs. the $700 Elex. That said, I'm fairly certain you could probably buy it closer to the $1,000 mark if you find a sweet deal or go the used route. Speaking of deals, most of you are probably already aware of this but the Clear is...
The Focal Clear's box is a minimalist black box with a slideout design. Inside is a carrying case containing the Clear along with a 3.5 mm and a 1/4 in adapter.

Yes, if you want something a little thicker than the Elex and have deep enough pockets for it. Let me be the first to say that the Clear will NOT beat the value the Elex brings to the table. For all the compare and contrast I've given in this review, both headphones honestly sound quite similar to each other. Diminishing returns and the like; the t...
May 15, 2008 · I have the focal elex. I been eyeing the moondrop Venus and the hifiman edition xs (2 planars). Would either be an upgrade to the elex (details, imaging, eq ability in the bass, etc)? I plan on probably using them with a MOJO chord 2.
I really like the overall sound of the Focal Elex, but basically right now they're out of my budget. And the massdrop version won't ship to where I live. What's the most similar alternative to it under $500 (preferably under $400) ?
Mar 3, 2020 · The Rega is a conventional Class AB amplifier, but it's not the technology that matters, it's how closely an amplifier meets your ideals within your budget. The Naim Nait 5si is a direct competitor to the Elex-R, and around the same price.
