FOCAL made a handful of consumer closed-back headphones but not an audiophile-targeting headphone until the release of the “Elegia”. This new black-silver over-ear model is now in-stock and shipping by various well-known audio-sellers that are fulfilled by Amazon including OneCall, ListenUP, HiDef Lifestyle, etc.
I do not know if there are any plans for a Massdrop variant of this…

There is discussion of their approach to headphones and also how it relates to their loudspeaker philosophy. These and more!
