Bentley special edition hi-fi headphones
Focal for Bentley Radiance high-end headphones are a special edition manufactured in France in honour of the prestigious partnership between Focal, Naim Audio and the luxury car manufacturer Bentley Motors. Their teams of engineers and designers have worked together to develop these unique headphones, selecting quality materials such as full-grain leather and solid aluminium. An authentic, refined Bentley touch is added with Copper finishes and Diamond motifs.
These closed-back circum-aural headphones incorporate a combination of exclusive Focal technologies, such as the Aluminium/Magnesium ‘M’-profile dome full-range speaker driver. The first few seconds of listening reveal strikingly natural sound.
Radiance offers the absolute pleasure of hi-fi listening combined with unparalleled comfort and elegance. Every detail has been considered, making these headphones a collector’s item that you can use at home or take with you, wherever you go.
ACCESSORIES INCLUDED
● A 1/8" (3.5mm) stereo jack cable

● A hard carrying case thermoformed in the shape of the headphones.

Radiance introduces an exceptionally well thought-out, elegant aesthetic. The Copper finish is a direct reference to the styling of Bentley Mulliner Bacalar, itself inspired by the DNA of the EXP 100 GT electric concept car. The motif inside the headband, on the outside of the ear cups and on the cables is inspired by Bentley seats’ iconic ‘Diamond’ quilting.
Radiance features electrodynamic speaker drivers with great elongation that generate extremely dynamic sound. With a linear frequency response extended to 23 kHz and a low-mass moving parts, sound reproduction is precise and detailed. These Aluminium/Magnesium ‘M’-profile dome full-range speaker drivers are a Focal exclusive, and the result of more than 40 years of audio technology innovation. Whether at home or connected to an audiophile player, Radiance delivers excellent performance to ensure a great listening experience.
With their solid Aluminium yoke that moulds perfectly to the head while providing optimal grip for on-the-go use, and their Pittards leather earpads, Radiance headphones offer high comfort levels. Specific attention has been paid to the vents, managing air flow and achieving excellent soundproofing. No resonance, no external disturbances: listening is pure pleasure.
From design and manufacture through to the choice of materials, Focal and Bentley strive for excellence.
Born from a common passion, Focal and Bentley share a taste for innovation and the expertise of a manufacturing process that combines tradition and modernity.

I've owned every Focal headphone (I know...)
These are the best of the non Berylium Focals imo.
Yes, they are a lot more accomplished than the Bathys, with more detail and a wider soundstage, and an amazingly enjoyable tonality.
They are also a lot more enjoyable than Celestee, due to the warmth, and full soundstage.
They are absolutely superb and the perfect catch all headphone from Focal, portable, but great at a desk too.
Probably the best earphones I have ever used. Paired with an iFi DAC to my work computer.
Good closed back headphones.
Excellent closed-back headphone, my favorite in the 1000-1500 euro price range. Neutral sounding with slight mid-bass elevation, average soundstage and to my ears, best timbre out of all Focals closed-backs. Downside of this headphone is that it's not very resolving, but it does something very few headphones do - it plays well with any kind of music. Whatever you throw at it, it just sound goods, including poorly recorded music. Everything sounds very natural and easy-going, in my experience, it has never been sharp or fatiguing.
It also doesn't need a lot of power or special source and sounds very good out of an average DAP.
In terms of comfort, shape is a standard Focal one, a bit heavy - I wouldn't be able to wear it all day, but it's alright for a couple of hours.
Overall, an excellent headphone that I can very much recommend it anyone looking for a decent closed-back.
Love these headphones. From its color of choice to its build. They are great for hip-hop, bass heavy and are comfortable. The stock cable could be better. They hold too much memory. The headphones are very comfortable. I use them with my ifi Go Blu and they have the perfect sound. I keep the volume at around 40% and they sound great there.
Sounds like a headphone that was tuned for my ears. Beautiful build, super comfy and works perfectly for the kind of music I listen to.
And this before it's fully burnt in. Super stuff. This one's staying with me forever.
Spettacolari
Very nice sounding and great separation of instruments. Focal head phones have great build quality.
The headphones look gorgeous and sound excellent. They have the dynamics that Focal are known for without the metallic timbre that plagued the Clears. The sound is nicely balanced, a touch warm with a little bass boost, highs that never gets harsh or sibilant. The mid range is very smooth and soundstage is not so wide but not too intimate.
It's a wonderful package but the only negative is the cable, it's so pathetic for the class of headphone these are.
It pairs great with all my sources (RS6, PM2+NX7 and EF400 is the best pairing).
The comfort is very good for my small head and clamp pressure almost not there, I would have preferred a little clamp force but it is what it is.
I bought it during black friday sale for 50000 and that was the best bargain in the audiophile world IMO.
This is the second best purchase in my long audiophile journey, the first one was HD650.
very very good
I love psytrance, 808s & heartbreaks and pop punk and I’m delighted to have another way of loving them! Only thing I feel should be changed is that I feel the inclusion of preferably XLR and 4.4 braided cables in not only this model but all other headphones being constructed in hopefully the nearby future!
It was great to be surprised by even myself, as I never thought I would used closed backed headphones again. In hopes to hear More from you and to more delightful surprise’s!
Very comfortable and balanced sound signature.
Look and sound absolutely stunning, perfect match for my Naim Uniti Nova. I could not be happier with my purchase!
FOR NOW ,SEVERAL DAYS I USED I THINK IT IS NOT TOTALLY SPEND 24 HRS OF USE BUT I HEARD NOT FATIGUING AND I REALLY ENJOYED IT,AND I CAN
TRUELY RECCOMEND IT
At first, it felt too "bloomy" and a bit closed in. After giving it more time (probably my brain burning in) I came to really enjoy sound. I did adjust the 2k down 2dB, which took care of the only frequency issue I had with the sound. From my experience, I do resonate with those who say the Radiance gets you about 80-90% there towards the Stellia. Thanks, Focal, for not just sprucing up some existing headphone. This is worth the upgrade from the Elegia or Celestee.
I have a focal clear professional. Now radiance. So I am a focal fan boy. Radiance is the best closed back I have listened to. I sold off my Audeze LCD xc to buy this. Most comfortable listening. Look is killer grade and comfort top notch as with all focal.Base deep and terrific. Stage and separation little behind the clear but it's expected.only small complaint, is the use of radiance with spectacle is bit troublesome. Great buy .
Extremely pleasing sound and awesome build.
Experiencing for the very first time. Give it a try and you WON'T be disappointed.
My first pair of Focals...Love the Radiance. Beautiful, comfortable, and sounds fantastic !!
EXTREMELY PLEASING SOUND EXPERIENCE.
The Radiance is a beautiful headphone. Very luxurious design. The headphone is very comfortable to wear due to the earcups being so soft like adding a pillow around your ears. The sound imaging is great and the soundstage is really good for a close back design. The bass that is present is great and isn't over emphasized. It's a really enjoyable laid back type of sound that I can listen to all day.
