Hopefully it doesn't have the same issue as the Elegia did for us glasses wearers. The bass response on the Elegia was completely neutered while wearing glasses.
I don't even wear glasses, but the bass presentation of the Elegia was a little too anemic, IMO. It's probably the most "bass light" headphone in my stable, actually. In normal circumstances, I'd pass on the Elegia, but I managed to snag it at a very good price (~$480); plus, it is a decent-sounding headphone, with fairly good detail.
Perhaps I’m wrong about that - Andrew from the Headphone Show made it pretty clear in an announcement video for the reveal live stream that this isn’t another Radiance. Interesting!
My guess is it’s basically a Radiance in different packaging with different tuning as the Radiance was packaged and tuned to the Bentley TOTL Naim system in their cars and not the normal Focal house sound.
I doubt it will due to the Radiance being a limited edition due to a collaboration between Focal and Bentley and tuned to approximate the TOTL Naim system in their automobile line.
I could be wrong also.
I just checked on headphones.com. Both Elegia and Elear are discontinued. I think Celestee may replace Elegia, while incoming headphone will replace Elear.

The Elegia has been discontinued since Q4 of 2020, I believe. The retailers were simply selling off their existing stock at (greatly) reduced prices (I got mine for ~$480).
