I don't have a Bentley to match it.

Here you go 😁👍

So what is exactly the difference between this and the Elegia besides different looks and tuning? The Stellia has the Be driver.

I will definitely check it once it becomes available.
Saw this on another site:

"According to a press release from the companies, the Focal for Bentley Radiance has deep bass, a balanced midrange, and a mellow, linear treble."

Sounds like the tuning is something I'd be into.

So what music will be played on that system, built for aging yuppies? Spandau Ballet's Gold I suppose :)

Looks very nice.

FYI you can also warm up your Elegia by getting the Stellia pads. But you do lose a bit of the open airiness. Everything is a trade-off in some form.

The tuning difference is probably nothing more than the pads being a black versions of Stellia on a black Elegia. Similar to using Dekoni Elite Sheepskin on Elegia.

Also the black colour makes the headphone sound more dark.

Stunning looking headphones. I wonder why they didn't go with a rebadged version of the Stellia? Seems like that would fit the profile of a Bentley owner better.

I like Bentleys and I'd buy one if I lived outside the UK with somewhere with big wide roads. I like the look of the headphones but I don't understand what a "mellow linear" treble is? Is this just a marketing way of saying rolled off????

Would be nice if my name started with the letter B, then the logo would have relevance for me. Overwise, I'm not a fan of a pair of headphones with another brand's logo on it.
lol they should've called it Brilliance as oppose to Radiance.

Though I agree not a fan of having another brand's logo on it. But I guess we're not their target audience, it's meant for Bentley owners I guess.
Also the black colour makes the headphone sound more dark.
I laughed at this more than I should. :joy:

Bummer. I was hoping for rolled off bass, honky mids and peaky treble.

They look great, shame they went with a closed back design though.
