THEY’RE
DESIGNED
AS A NOD
TO THE
OPTIONS
WHEN YOU
BUY A £1.5M
BENTLEY
MULLINER
BACALAR
from £1199 / naimaudio.com
That’s cheap for a Bentley.
Well, you can’t drive them down to
Sainsbury’s car park to show off,
but the Focal for Bentley Radiance
headphones (£1199) and Naim
Mu-so for Bentley Special Edition
sound system (£1799) offer the
kind of luxury you can only get from
a brand that lets you upgrade to a
fancier fuel filler cap. Designed as
a nod to the options offered when
you buy one of Bentley’s £1.5m
Mulliner Bacalar convertibles, thepair have matching copper accents
and lattice patterns, and have been
tuned to share a sonic signature.So, those cushioned cans...
With plush Pittards leather on the
earcups, wearing them should feel
like having your head chauffeur-
driven through a cloud. Pittards has
been crafting leather since 1826,
and Spitfire pilots taking on the
Luftwaffe could at least console
themselves with the fact that theylooked smart in the cockpit wearing
the firm’s gloves. But peacocking
about in fancy leather earmuffs is
no fun when you’re stuck at home...Ah, the matching Mu-so.
Oh yes. Naim’s Mu-so is one of
the finest all-in-one music systems
in the world – and this special
edition is the first ever to feature
a sustainable African hardwood
called ayous, which has been
repeatedly stained and lacqueredfor a Bentley-worthy finish. It also
has a copper-threaded speaker
grille, while under the bonnet we
find 450W of stereo power pushing
through its three drivers, plus Wi-Fi,
AirPlay 2, Chromecast, Bluetooth,
USB and HDMI ARC for your TV.
It’ll work as part of a multiroom
setup... leaving you to switch to
your Radiance cans for the arduous
journey between front door and car
door. Well, Bentley owners do tend
to have big driveways.NAIM & FOCAL x BENTLEY
