It was annoying returning the clears until I got one that didn't clip. And I feel really bad for those that didn't have time or return policy to do so. But with focal, I learned that's why you have to pick your dealer carefully. www.headphones.com (no affiliation) allows a 365 day return policy and will give you replacements until you have a set that doesn't clip. Aside from that, they will replace up to three years. I like to believe that this issue only exists on earlier models and not the most recent ones. But I couldn't say with scientific certainty. I did reach out to focal and asked them to send another pair for a larger sample size. I mean who wants their headphone to get such a bad review?
Minus the distortion (which I believe doesn't exist on all) this thing would be the crown of non eq'd headphones IMO. I think another clear without the issue needs to be reviewed, but that's not really up to @amirm.
