This is the first time I haven't seen an anime waifu as his wallpaper, this must be an important review 🤔
He used a anime hasbando before, I think its hifiman he1000
I downvoted because no waifu.
They’re $1,300 at Audio46. The collaboration comes from Focal’s car speakers division - they’ve done Bentley’s car audio for years.
They're $1300 everywhere except from janky third party sellers on Amazon.
Cheaper than the Focal Clears in my country.
They have always been 1250$ in USA don't know where he got 1800 from?
Noted. Will add link
Bro, what? NAIM AUDIO makes Bentley’s car áudio.
Anyone else just love it when Zeos removes the headphones from his head and like a small portion of the sound leaks?
My favorite is when I can feel the bass too
@@mapleaf816 AB 1266 TC
you have really weird fetiches...
@@Antonio5559398 you're clearly too young to know what a fetish is
I would love to see a comparison between these and the Sony MDR-Z1R
I'm waiting for Bugatti x BLON collab
And play Ace Hood - Bugatti. Letmusicburn, oppoty!
Finally! These cans are too damn smooth to be ignored.
It's like an msg sprinkled regular Focals...
"Sooo Nice!!"
Uncle Z
Paired with the dx312EXN dap- the clarity, bass, dynamics are insane!
There's nothing weird about Naim. Top end blightonian soundsters my man.
ive owned these for 2 month now. i had a weird break in period where it would make this popping noise where it would pop and there was no sound for like a millisecond and back to normal whenever i listened to music and even more so when i gamed with them. idk why but after a week of that it sounded fine. Really fine actually. Its your typical warm sound signature. Very good bass. recessed mids. Sparkly highs. Not warm enough to be considered a headphone for bassheads. Its detailed but never fatiguing for the music i listen to. Like theres songs i would listen to that would usually make me wince a lil but the radiance never did that. It was like on the edge of i can tell this part of the song is about to hurt but it just tingled me instead. Id say 90% in detail retrieval compared to focal clear mg. this is my favorite closed back for music for now. yes you can game with them but i prefer my dt1990 pro for gaming. Too much stuff going on for when i play competitive pvp games. But everytime i listen to music i feel like theres something missing when i listen with the 1990s now. Comfort wise id give it an 8/10. i can wear these for hours with only getting a mild hotspot on the top of my head and only need to do a lil micro adjustment to get comfortable again. id say this is like a and this is completely subjective here a $800 sounding headphone with $1000 build. The headband does have a bit of creaking like the utopias do. It has matte black/ shiny black with copper accents and its the most beautiful looking headphones ive owned. Do i regret buying them at $1290? Yes. because there was an open box deal for about $900. I was going to keep these anyways but just wished i paid less for them. The reason i bought these is because at first i needed a closedback for my environment (loud ac unit, parents screaming, etc). No its not noise cancelling but the pads do passive noise cancelling well enough for me. I would for sure take these outside to listen to. The only thing im worried about is finding pad replacements for these cuz they dont seem to sell them like they do the clears and utopia. Just felt like i need to put my personal review on here cuz sometimes our ears disagree with zeos. like i also bought the focal clear mg cuz of his review and i couldnt listen to those for more than an hour. Theres something in the treble that gives me a gnarly headache after just casual listening at regular volume. which is weird cuz ive owned the dt1990s for years and never once did those put me to bed cuz of agonizing pain like the clear mgs did. its also not as comfortable as the radiance. it puts a hotspot on the top of my head after only 15 minutes of leaving them on. Overall i cant think of a better closed back that sounds as good as these in its price range thats available. Maybe the argons are better than these? idk never tried them so take this comment section review with a grain of salt as you should with all audio reviews. The closest headphone i can compare this with that ive tried is like an audioquest nighthawk on steroids. Like if you were liked the nighthawks but kinda dissappointed with how much the nighthawks were lacking these might be the headphones for you.
Are the earpads replaceable on the Radiance? Are they bespoke for them or can you use Stellia/Celestee/Clear ones?
@@Feemy theyre the same pads all the focal headphones use with the 5 pin so yeah. it just seems you have to buy another focal radiance if you want the same stock radiance pads cuz i cant seem to find replacement for these anywhere.
@@partyincali1519 thanks for letting me know.
Yeah that was my fear, because they're limited edition and in collab with Bentley
Any opportunity to pair the Radiance with an Ifi product for the Xbass? I'm very curious how well they get along :)
It's funny to see Focal using the same old fragile design for their headphones. My Elear's headband is coming apart one creak at a time. French tank.
French tanks (some of them) were actually notably harder to penetrate compared to their early war counterparts from other nations.
Got a pair of these last week, damn they are comfy.
I prefer the celestee since there slightly more clear, and easier to drive tested on (btr5)(smslSu9/THX789) (DethonrayhoneyH1)but the radiance is a close second it's more warm and Bassy with a slightly wider soundstage definitely a preference thing 🔥👍
Sweet sweet validation
Hi Zeos, I was wondering if you had heard that Sennheiser had sold its consumer audio division which makes their headphones, soundbars and DACs. The Pro side of the business is not part of the deal. They've been acquired by a Swiss-based medical hearing company called Sonova Holding AG, which specialises in hearing aids and cochlear implants. Everything going well it sounds like the the deal should be complete by the end of the year. Here's hoping that things don't change too much.
Please review Focal Speakers. They are in the market fairly cheap in terms of Studio Monitors.
Zeos, do you know your Focal Elegia demo video is blocked in some countries?
Something about a copyright claim from SME
Can you make a new one if the old one can't be unblocked?
So is the Stellia sound demo.
What countries? Usually its IRAN SYRIA CUBA NORTH KOREA AND mayuyybe Japan.

@@ZReviews I don't think North Korean's watch RUclips Z
@@ZReviews Germany, too
As a true Z Review, no comparison to existing Focal lineup that has already been reviewed recently!
I don't know how it compares to Elegia or Stellia, let alone the open Clear MG.
Way different to Clear MG. and I don't compare Open to Closed as a rule. More fun then Stellia, upgrade to Elegia for detail and smoothness.
If you're looking for relevant details you don't come to Z reviews... one would go to resolve @ headphone show or the like channels. You come to Zeos for the cultural shenanigans and you stay for the ramblings.
@@aceofspades6667 I click on the video, kill the volume and fast scan for Chewy The Cat. I wish he’d do a full 1/2 hour Chewbacca video.
@@ZReviews i want to upgrade from close to open, is the clear mg. Is it worth to upgrade because i’m scared when trading comfortable for quality because in uk, my routine doesn’t suit me to try the clear mg.
"You're a big man, but you're out of shape. With me, it's a full-time job. So behave yourself."
PSA they were "only" $1300 earlier. I think amazon pricing just messing up.
When the hell did the price go up to $1800? I bought mine in February for $1k open box and they were $1280 new
Just ordered a pair for $799 Au. Can’t wait for them to arrive.
Would love to see a comparison with the Focal Celestee.
These are Smoother. I dont know how else to describe the difference easily. Like a DSP over the Celestee but with more soundstage.
@@ZReviews how does it compare to the Focal Elegia?
@@ZReviews hello!
How do the compare with aeon 2 noire ?
Interestingly enough these headphones actually do measure well and are closer to Harman curve than all the other Focals. There like a stellia but smoother like you said. I have a clear personally but im tempted to sell for these or the aeon noire because im sick of having no bass rumble under 40hz due to openback although i guess i should be grateful i even have any Focal headphones.
Edit: Focal clear are still great and i realise the bass is adequate so as long as the volume is correct its perceived very differently based on volume. I own the original better white pair without the stupid upper mid dip on the new pair
@@Jordonater I picked up a radiance the other day after deciding which Focal would be best for EDM. I can crank the bass up to max on the EQ if I wanted to and absolutely no clipping or crackling like my Utopia. And to be quite honest, I don’t notice the detail loss compared to the Utopia all that much, only if I’m really analyzing a song critically but once you just lay back and listen to the music you stop caring. It’s just an overall way more fun HP and makes me want to sell my Utopia for the cash. I think a lot of people are sleeping on this model and turned off by the subtle Bentley logo, but to me it’s the hidden jewel in the whole lineup.
You should try the Sony MDR-Z1R.....
Did you sell your clear for em then
@@falcodarkzz I sold the Clear awhile ago now. I realised that it really didn't have the sound worth its price for me. In fact id recommend not spending over a grand o any headphone they seem to be plagued with more issues than cheaper ones whether it be comfort, sound or QC issues. Maybe your enjoying a headphone at that price and if you are then thats all that matters.
Get Carter is a classic.
Please review the Dan Clark Audio Aeon 2 Noire closed and Aeon RT closed
if bentley chose focals, what about mclaren?
my money's on Dan Clark.
Only if DC is gonna make speaker drivers for their cars.
I believe Klipsch did a colab with them
@@Feemy yeah Klipsch is such a big name in audio so they can partner up with Mclaren just because they want to 😀
Coming from the Celestee video, what about SOUNDSTAGE?
Zeos: What ever this leather is?
Ricardo Montalban: It is a Ricchee Coooorreathian leatheeeerrr!!!
Umm no Rich corintian leather was chrysler so its like leather from an old cow that also contributed to your big mac, this is Bentley leather from a cow raised on caviar and Champaign
I have these.
They are damn good
I have them on a set of Hart Audio cables with mini XLR and a bunch of adapters.
Good stuff
do they work with fast drums and stuff? (metal and rock without bass sounding muddy?)
@@fixxxer4234 absolutely, I’m mostly EDM, 80s Alternative, 70s and 80s rock, occasional jazz and classical. The drivers are excellent, with brilliant detail retrieval.
@@fixxxer4234 great , i ordered them now, also for metal & rock, stay heavy bro:)
Love my Rebel amp
i just ordered Radiance, cant wait, i hope it will be good to rock and symphonic.
Impressions?
Update? :)
@@Vince96711 they were nice but not the wow effect for that pice.. i sold them and bought arya v3 hifiman, much better sound
@@zacharyshort384 they were nice but not the wow effect for that pice.. i sold them and bought arya v3 hifiman, much better sound
@@wolandphotography How would you compare the bass quality & quantity between the two?
I’m not sure if I missed this while watching but, do you prefer this or the Clear MG?
it's not 1800.00, it's 1290.00 at moon audio............
I didnt realize I needed a loving headphone
Dark, Treble High, Warm, Mid Forward, Loving, Neutral, Into Feet.. Those are the headphone types
i'm late but audeze lcd-xc carbon could be a better solution or am I wrong?
These are $1290 everywhere! That $1799 price on Amazon is a ripoff!!!
You're radiant Z. Any upcoming HE-X4 review??
I had to check, no it's not 1100 USD on the Bentley website... it's 1199 GBP! 😂
Do you prefer the focal radiance or the focal clear mg?

Michael-fucking-Caine wallpaper?? This must be fucking IMPORTANT. I don't think I've ever seen a non-anime wallpaper on this channel lol
Do you have any favorite headphones?
You’re using the aris! Wondering how long it was going to take you to discover sparkos labs!
Z, how come you liked the Radiance but did not like the Celestee?
Soundstage
And when I found them on Black Friday at half the price...
Dumb question, Is there a reason you have the d30pro just kind of hanging out? Is there something coming up your planning on using it for, or is it more like you have no where else to put it?
Bentley or DanClark Aeon 2 Noire. I like a mild-V sound sig.
This has absolutely nothing to do with this review whatsoever, but it's a recent video so I figured you're more likely to read this. I recently noticed that Edifier have released a follow up to the S350DB; the S360DB. Any plans to do a review?
SO basically it's a set of Elegia with better leather and a -=B=- logo that cost $1000 more?
They cost 1250 according to various comments, so it’s roughly 500 more I guess 🤔 it’s not just the leather - they are smoother sounding I guess
@@th3m3du54 hehe OK I guess. Actually, I have Elegia and I like them but I really with the pads were better. So,.. time for an upgrade?
They sound way better
Are they better then the Clear MG?
would this be a good upgrade for fidelio X1/X2?
i now have the elegia, but i miss my open back X1's
never mind, its closed back
I was today years old when i learned that Bentleys give whole bean coffee enemas and cushions are made of calf stem cells.
I worked for a business that literally paid for the stem cells of unborn calf fetuses from slaughter houses... it was big $$$ the best dead fetus calf stem cells came from Australia and New Zealand because they didn't feed the mommy cows hormones and they have the lowest rates of cattle diseases down there.
Eyyyyy doug demero and Jeremy Clarkson
Wow I thought I was the only one who did the boiling water thing to straighten a cable!
any chance of an asgard 3 review?
Re: PORSCHE...So I was on a flight to Europe and met some guys from Stuttgart and I said, "Oh! that's where the "PORSH" factory is" and this German almost SHOUTED/Snarled at me, "It's pronounced 'POOR-SHA', not 'poorsh'." And that cured me for a lifetime!
How do these compare to the Ether CX?
But are they good enough to make it on the wall?
prolly, but they're not his, so they're going back to the owner.
The hall of shame wall I think so
I love my Celestee!
Can these get really loud if I turn up volume I have a fiio k5 pro dac/amp and I have it on gain 1 there is three gain level and I have it on 2oclock clock wise on volume knob but I’m afraid to turn it up more but I want too can it hang if I turn up a Little more music I here is classic rock and r&b and little bit of metal and by the way I have same headphones as you the celestee
It is funny how many people like to make a very big noise over how crass they find the Bentley collab is. They really want people to know they think it is vulgar and are above such statements.
The irony is these same people would have no problem with and would even embrace a focal logo slapped on a Bentley dashboard but when it’s the reverse on a headphone, oh that’s just too much! Their loss is my gain though, I’m enjoying it more than my Utopia and I don’t see a logo when the HP is on my head anyway.
Hey zeos I have the focal radiance, can you suggest me any good 4.5mm balanced cable for these under $150.
Hart Audio Cable. Get the 4.4 termination
my singxer amp comes in next week :]

he said 1800
These or mezze lirics?

That's how it goes.
Which one he don't he like? Celestee?

Is Bentley using Focal speakers in their cars? Because if they aren't this is a fucking stupid collaboration.
I know I’m late but you are indeed correct. They use focal speakers in their cars.
