Enjoy Audiophile-Grade Sound from Portable Wireless Headphones: Focal Bathys Feature Bluetooth 5.1, Active Noise Cancellation, Built-In 24-Bit/192kHz DAC, and Extreme Comfort

Skeptical about the sound quality you can get from a pair of portable wireless headphones? Enhanced by patented 1.625-inch aluminum/magnesium M-dome speaker drivers, the Focal Bathys upend conventional thought and design. Also able to be used via a wired connection, Bathys provide dynamic, accurate, and detailed playback that invites you to escape within your music. 

Bolstered by an internal USB-DAC that supplies up to 24-bit/192kHz, two active noise-canceling modes, 30 hours of battery life for ANC, and adjustable EQ, Bathys has everything you could want from on-the-go ‘phones. And then some. Bluetooth 5.1, USB, and traditional jack connectivity abets Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant voice control — as well as a cool, defeatable, backlit flame that illuminates at the center of the earcup. Buttons on bottom of the earcup allow for ergonomic control. 

Unlike most headphones on the market, the 0.77-pound Bathys also benefit by being made in Focal’s dedicated factory in France. A combination of high-grade materials (magensium yoke, aluminum mechanical construction, leather and microfiber headband) ensures wearable comfort — as does the compact, lightweight form factor and pleasantly rounded shape of the earcups. A carrying case and two cables come with these headphones that Forbes says “make an ideal travel companion.”

“[They] feel like a pair of $4,000 headphones on your head."
—TONEAudio, Product of the Year Award 2023

"For a wireless headphone performance, it's among the most engaging we have heard."
—What Hi-Fi?, five-star review

“The Bathys have a big, bold sound. Their transient attack is very quick, and if you're a fan of music heavily laden with drums and percussion, they have an extended but not fatiguing high end.”
—Jerold O’Brien, TONEAudio 

"[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."
—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..."
—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..."
—Wayde Robson, Audioholics

Connectivity Options

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 of charge time will give you five extra hours.

Adapts to Your Hearing

In its quest to offer listeners the very best, Focal has incorporated a new feature into Bathys: the Mimi hearing test. Available via the Focal & Naim app, this allows users to configure the sound delivered by Bathys according to their hearing, thereby allowing them to enjoy the Focal sound regardless of their test results. In other words: Bathys adapts to everyone’s hearing!

ANC Features

The Active Noise Cancellation feature has two settings: 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.

Dune Finish

Applied to the headphones in their entirety, the carrying case, and the cables, the Dune finish is inspired by quarry minerals, Greek landscapes, and desert sands: in short, delicate spaces flooded with light. It combines a beige color with silver details (grilles, rings, etc.) for an elegant, mellow and harmonious finish.
