These wired closed-back headphones stand out for their design, sound performance, and the immersive listening experience. The high-end design is infused with Focal's unique style elements, incorporating sophisticated materials such as leather, magnesium and aluminum. These features guarantee durability and comfort, and they are designed to fit any head shape.

The Azurys are equipped with 1-5/8'' 'M'-shaped dome speaker drivers, the fruit of Focal's unique expertise in sound.

"Ranks Up There with Some of the Best"

"The Azurys are a fantastic-sounding pair of wired headphones. Music is blissful and engaging, thanks to Focal’s well-engineered audio design. There’s some terrific depth and frequency range to aurally consume," observes Alex Bracetti, Tom's Guide, June 24, 2024.

"It isn’t hyperbole to rank the Azurys up there with some of the best audiophile headphones under $1,000… Focal’s drivers live up to their hype, dishing out vibrant hi-res sound with well-balanced frequencies."

"An Excellent Closed-Back Headphone"

"Excellent closed-back headphones are not, in my experience, a dime a dozen. And for my taste, the Focal Azurys is exactly that: an excellent closed-back headphone that is very Focal, and also very reasonably priced," notes Jude Mansilla, founder of head-fi.org, May 7, 2024.

"The Focal Azurys are a competent, durable, and attractive set of headphones meant to meet the needs of keyboard warriors with deep pockets looking for a more 'mature' set of headphones," reports Christian Thomas in his review for soundguys.com, June 10, 2024. "These are rock-solid headphones."

"Entertaining and Widely Appealing"

"I’ve spent a few weeks with the Azurys and have come away pleased with the results of Focal’s most affordable headphones," reports reviewer Thomas, headfonics.com, September 9, 2024.

"The Focal Azurys closed-back headphones are good performers at this price point. The signature is balanced but with enough emphasis on the bass and lower treble to keep things entertaining and widely appealing."

Spoiling You with Comfort

The Azurys headphones were designed for comfort, even when you're listening for hours. They are guaranteed to spoil you with their feel as well as their sound.

The lightweight magnesium yoke is impressive in its design. It doesn't have traditional vertically rotating mechanics, which has been integrated into the headband instead. As a result, these headphones are perfect for extended LP or digital music sessions. The memory foam ear cushions and genuine leather, breathable fabric headband provide an extra touch of comfort.

Timeless Signature Design Elan

Focal is known not only for headphones with high class sound, the company has a solid reputation for elegant, eye-catching design. The Azurys excels in the visual style department. Inspired by azurite, a semi-precious stone with healing properties, Azurys' blue color is as modern as it is magnetic. Its sleek finish is enhanced further by Focal’s signature design elan.

A handsome carrying case for the headphone and accessories is provided to show off and protect your sonic investment. Also included is a 4 ft (1.8m) mini-jack cable with remote control and microphone.

'Burn-in' Time Suggested for Best Performance

These exquisite headphones need a 'burn-in' period to reach full performance. This will happen naturally after several hours of listening.

If you wish to accelerate the process, we recommend that you remove the headphones and play a music signal through them for at least 24 hours at a relatively high volume level on tracks rich in low frequencies. This will stabilize the Azurys' loudspeakers and allow you to enjoy your listening to the full.
