RADIANCE BENTLEY SPECIAL EDITION

MUCH MORE THAN JUST 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.
FOCAL TECHNOLOGIES
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.
COMFORT AND SOUNDPROOFING
With its Aluminium yoke that moulds perfectly to the head and their Pittards leather earpads, Radiance 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.
RUNNING-IN PERIOD
These headphones require a running-in period in order to operate at their best. They will run themselves in naturally after several hours of listening time. If you want to speed up the process, Focal recommend playing bass heavy music through them for at least 24 hours at a relatively high volume. This will stabilise the speaker drivers and allow you to get the very best out of your headphones.
