Meh, I thought about that but I am not about to recommend a Focal in a conversation about durability. Though for sound purposes I agree.

Focal clear doesn't have voice coil or durability issues tur elear/elex/old utopia has.

That is true but given the OPs context the headband issue would still be at play. To be clear, the Clear is a phenomenal headphone and I am currently looking for a Utopia to add to my collection but that is the only part that gives me pause. Although I did just see a post of someone retrofitting the headband with the Sundara headband and it looks legit. If I was buying a replacement I would grab the Arya headband but that is what they had on hand and it worked
