Description
Designed for the discerning traveler and home listener who refuses to compromise, the Focal Bathys delivers studio-grade sound in a wireless package built for the road. Focal's proprietary 40 mm Aluminium-Magnesium M-shaped dome drivers, detailed presentation with deep bass, smooth treble, and clear vocal reproduction. Three active noise cancelling modes (Silent, Soft, and Transparent) let you dial in isolation from the quietest library to the busiest cabin, while the built-in USB-DAC mode unlocks 24-bit/192 kHz resolution when connected via cable for the highest fidelity playback. With Bluetooth 5.1 multipoint, aptX™ Adaptive, and up to 30 hours of battery life with ANC engaged, the Bathys transitions seamlessly between devices and listening sessions. Headfonics reviewers note the Bathys "represents a serious upgrade" over mainstream wireless options, praising its balanced tuning and refined build. Controlled through physical buttons or the Focal & Naim app — which also houses a 5-band EQ and Mimi hearing test — these headphones bring French audiophile craftsmanship to your commute.
