Best headphones in the world up for a refresh?

It seems not very long ago that Focal launched a new upmarket headphone with a nosebleed price. The Utopia received some rave reviews and was heralded by more than a few reviewers as the best in the world, even at an MSRP of $3999. Not sure how many well-heeled or 'phone obsessives purchased them in the ensuing year or so but right now it seems impossible to open up an email or audio article without an advert offering these at $1k off, or in some cases, a no-questions asked $1k offer for any 'phones you might want to trade in.  Officially it's a celebration of the first year, but we'll see if this means a refresh is coming or if sales have just been slow. Offer for now good through September, which means they're a mere $3k before tax. Have fun!
