Fantastic Sound from France: Focal's Innovative Bathys Wireless Headphones Offer Bluetooth and Active Noise Cancellation Technologies for Superior Sonics, No Matter Where You Are Focal has altered the landscape for wireless headphones with Bathys: an elegant, comfortable, innovative model that offers Bluetooth 5.1 and Active Noise Cancellation technologies.

With Bathys, you can enjoy fantastic sound no matter where you are, whether you're at the office, in an airport, listening to your home system, playing video games, or even pausing for a phone call.

Wherever you happen to be, you can experience an immersive listening session with zero disturbance from surrounding noises. These ergonomic headphones are constructed with premium materials—such as magnesium on the yokes and leather on the headband—resulting in exceptional comfort for any head shape.

Made in France in the Focal workshops, the patented aluminum/magnesium "M"-dome speaker drivers deliver detailed, pure high-fidelity sound with huge dynamics. In addition, the integrated USB-DAC mode offers a resolution of up to 24-bit/192 kHz, ensuring stunning sound quality.

The Active Noise Cancellation feature has three sophisticated settings: The Transparent setting lets outside sound in, allowing for clear, easy conversation. The Soft setting provides limited noise reduction for moderately noisy environments, such as an office.

The Silent setting offers optimum noise reduction for particularly noisy environments, such as aboard a train or airplane. Connectivity and convenience are part of the game plan with Bathys headphones.

They offer a wide range of connectivity options (Bluetooth 5.1, jack, and USB) and are fitted with easily accessible control buttons. An adjustable EQ, voice assistance options (Amazon Alexa, Siri, and Google Assistant) and other settings can be controlled in the Focal & Naim app, available for iOS and Android.

The design cues are inherited from Focal's open- and closed-back headphones. Bathys features high-grade materials, an elegant Black Silver finish, and a white backlight system (at the center of the ear cup) that can be turned on and off. Using the Focal & Naim app, you can adjust the light settings.

In terms of battery life, these groundbreaking headphones deliver more than 30 hours of use (in Bluetooth mode with Active Noise Cancellation). This, along with an ultra-comfortable fit, make them the perfect travel companion—whether you decide to journey by land or by air.

The Bathys headphones come with a rigid carrying case, a 4-foot jack cable, a 4-foot USB-C cable, and, of course, the 100% Music Direct Satisfaction Guarantee. "For a wireless headphone performance, it's among the most engaging we have heard.

And if you want them to double up as home headphones for longer listening stints, which they are more than comfortable enough to wear for, know that going wired via the DAC/USB-C does add a degree of refinement and tightness to the delivery….

The Bathys are highly recommendable for anyone after the convenience of portability in a premium pair of headphones at this price." —What Hi-Fi?, five-star review "[These headphones offer] one of the best soundstages I've heard on Bluetooth over-ear headphones.

The stereo image is wide, with instruments in the extreme left or right channels appearing like they are being performed right up against the shell of the ear cups. It's not just a linear stage, either.

On the Bathys, you really get to hear the sound elements placed accurately…. [You] can't deny the greatness of its design compared to many wireless headphones on the market." —Alex Schiffer, Major Hi-Fi "The Focal Bathys are an absolute joy to listen to, wired or wireless, and they never failed to reveal details in songs I thought I had already deeply explored….

It's rare for a company to hit a home run on its rookie effort [in a product category], but Focal has not only done it with the Bathys, it's raised the bar in terms of wireless audio performance." —Michael Brown, TechHive "Bathys engages the listener with a lively frequency curve that simultaneously provides sparkling detail in the upper frequencies and tactile boom down low, with Focal's signature warm midrange….

As it exists today, Bathys makes an excellent entry into the Focal headphone lineup as it takes its place among the top sound-quality-focused wireless headphones available." —Wayde Robson, Audioholics Connectivity Galore Compatible with SBC, AAC, Apt-X, and Apt-X Adaptive codecs, Bathys offers a wide range of connectivity options: Bluetooth 5.1, jack, and USB.

It delivers more than 30 hours of use in Bluetooth with ANC mode. Thanks to its fast-charging function, just 15 minutes will give you 5 extra listening hours of audio bliss.

Premium Materials The Bathys design features high-grade materials (magnesium, real leather, and aluminum) and offers a design with optimal comfort for all head shapes. The rounded shapes of the ear-cup grilles embody Focal's refined aesthetic codes.
