Cosmetics play on the diamond pattern of the trademark Bentley grille and seat pattern as well as the use of copper and full-grain leather. The flying wings logo naturally made the transition.

There's also a 3.5mm copper cable and custom carrying case. Basic specs are circumaural closed back, 35Ω, 101dB/1mW, 0.1% THD and 435g.
