Crafted in France at Focal’s workshops, the Hadenys open-back wired headphones combine contemporary design with high-fidelity sound for a rich and detailed listening experience. Equipped with exclusive 40mm Aluminum/Magnesium Focal drivers, they deliver remarkable sonic depth and precision, immersing the listener in a warm atmosphere. In addition to their exceptional acoustic performance, the Hadenys stand out with their elegant aesthetics and shades of brown, a color that is both trendy and timeless. For optimal comfort, the Magnesium yoke has been specially designed to perfectly fit the user’s head.
For years, Focal has been known and recognized for its acoustic know-how, having produced some of the best audio headphones in the world. The Utopia, Stellia, Clear Mg, and Bathys models are now undisputed references in the field.
To meet the growing demand for headphones, particularly those intended for sedentary use, Focal has adapted its expertise to passive models. The goal is to make Focal’s high-fidelity sound quality accessible to an increasingly broad audience of music lovers.
Designed for home use, these open-back passive headphones offer an immersive listening experience, capturing every musical nuance with exceptional richness. The brown color reminiscent of the Hadean era signifies a return to origins, giving the headphones an organic and timeless style. To complement these aesthetic aspects, Focal’s patented technologies and distinctive design elements are found, such as honeycomb grilles, genuine leather headband, and breathable braided fabric, as well as a magnesium yoke for optimal comfort and increased lightness. With Hadenys, at-home listening is precise, dynamic, and inviting.
Manufactured in France at Focal’s workshops in Saint-Étienne, the drivers used in the Hadenys and Azurys headphones are identical to those in Bathys, the first wireless active noise-canceling headphones unveiled by Focal in October 2022 and acclaimed worldwide. These 40mm “M”-shaped aluminum/magnesium dome drivers have undergone meticulous adjustments to suit these passive headphones, delivering detailed, warm, and dynamic hi-fi sound. Focal presents these headphones with a matching carrying case and dedicated cables for optimal use.
The Hadenys (open-back) and Azurys (closed-back) from Focal are fraternal twins that champion a proven design philosophy, letting the case design dictate each model’s personality. By stripping away wireless frills and harmonizing all other components (driver, yoke, pads, wiring), Focal highlights the sonic trade-offs between ventilation and isolation. If you own one, you’ll immediately understand the other; with both, you’ll rarely worry about picking the wrong headphones for the occasion.
The Focal Hadenys has arrived with a few surprises up its copper-toned sleeves. Warmer and more V-shaped than you’d expect from an open-back headphone in this price range, it delivers more low-end punch and sub-bass rumble than its open construction would suggest. If anything, it leans more closed in the lows, while still maintaining the air and resolution you expect from an open design through the mids and highs. It’s a fun, relaxed tuning that favors everyday listening over hyper-analysis.

+ Lightweight and comfortable. Excellent sound. Good bass extension.
- Short cable. Earpad size on the small side, just large enough for me. Headband adjustment on the smaller side too. But fits me anyway, despite my larger head.
All-in-all, I'm a happy customer and highly recommend these Hadenys.

Very good listening experience with the Focal Hadenys headphones paired with the excellent headphone output of an Atoll MS120 streamer

Very detailed sound.
I connected them to an Advance Paris my connect 250 amplifier.
The combination is fantastic.
Whether the sound is quiet or very loud, it remains incredible.
Very satisfied.
