Warm & Smooth Sound Signature

Wireless Headphones with a Warm & Smooth sound signature deliver a relaxed sound that does not overwhelm. This type of sound signature typically reproduces a sound that gives your music a distinctly warm and soothing quality. Vocals and instruments like the saxophone, cello, and piano sound particularly good with this sound signature and is pleasant to listen to music for extended periods. This sound signature is well suited for music listeners who prefer something easy on the ears and listen to genres like Jazz, Blues, R&B and rock sub-genres.

You can expect these headphones to have seamless connectivity and great sound while being portable and sturdy. They say the best way to cut time is to read a book, but a pair of headphones add to that too!


Ideal for Taking Calls

These headphones are designed to present how audio tech, typically associated with listening to music, can be used for two-way communications. If you are someone who is working from home and needs to do a conference call or have a video call with your mum, you'll benefit from a pair of headphones with a mic.

Bluetooth with
aptX Adaptive, aptX & AAC

Battery Life

Wireless headphones have built-in batteries in the earcups, so these headphones do not need external power to play music.


Battery life is a measurement of battery performance. It is the amount of time your Wireless headphones will have enough power. It can be summed up; as how long a battery will last before your Wireless headphones need to be recharged.


Nothing interferes with your music, thanks to the high-performance and long-lasting battery. No interruptions, just pure sonic bliss!


Active Noise Cancellation

Everyone enjoys a little peace at some point and wants to shut themselves off from the outside world. This is where Active Noise Cancellation (ANC) comes into the picture. So what exactly is Active Noise Cancellation?


Noise Cancellation refers to blocking out background noise/ambient noise. But let's be clear: No Noise-Cancelling Wireless Headphones can eliminate all sound; they can only considerably reduce outside noise, creating the impression that the noise is suppressed. However, when the phrase "Active Noise Cancellation" is used, it signifies that the Wireless Headphones are actively searching for noise to block it out.


ANC is a technology that reduces or cancels out the surrounding or ambient noise. It reduces low-frequency noise like the sound of a jet engine or car engine. ANC specifically reduces low-frequency noise well. However, it is not capable of cancelling out high-frequency noise optimally. Wireless Headphones with ANC deliver class-leading ambient noise reduction, significantly improving sound quality.


If you're someone who is a frequent flyer, ANC helps eliminate constant droning noises from jet engines so you can sleep more easily during long-haul flights.


Multi-point Connection

Bluetooth multipoint technology was introduced with the release of Bluetooth 4.0, over a decade ago. It’s a feature that allows Wireless headphones to maintain simultaneous connections to at least two source devices like a laptop and smartphone.


Multipoint allows you to seamlessly switch between devices, such as a computer and phone, without touching your devices. Multipoint technology is a great asset to increase productivity and convenience as you go through your daily life - from home to work. The simultaneous playback of audio from two devices is not possible with Multipoint, though.


In simple terms, Multipoint enables you to maintain a connection to two of your favourite, often-used devices at the same time. It is a great functionality allowing you to multitask without the hassle of tweaking the settings of Bluetooth.

Wireless Range

You must have most likely noticed that wireless signals do not travel an infinite distance. The farther a wireless signal goes, the weaker it gets. This loss is known as path loss, and it defines the range of connectivity. This range of connectivity is dependent on the wireless protocol in use like Bluetooth. Three classes offer standard ranges of connectivity with Class 1 devices transmitting at 100 mW with a range of 100 meters or 328 feet. Most Bluetooth headsets and headphones are Class 2 devices that transmit at 2.5 mW with a range of 10 meters or 33 feet. Lastly, Class 3 devices transmit at 1 mW with a range of fewer than 10 meters.

The Focal Bathys is an excellent-sounding debut ANC wireless headphone and certainly a considerable upgrade on all the previous wireless closed-backs I have reviewed to date.
The Bathys from Focal are the best-sounding wireless headphones I've heard yet. Exceptionally open sound, Highly detailed, USB DAC, Solid battery/fast charging, Bluetooth multipoint.
The design is eccentric in appearance with real leather used for the headband, with curvy earcups that feature grilles to help provide its distinctive Focal aesthetic.
They sound good. The ANC works well. Balance achieved. But for pure music listening, the Bathys understandably lag behind the rest of Focal’s traditional headphone lineup.
After spending a ton of time with the Bathys, I firmly believe it to be one of a kind. For now, there is no other headphone that blends the experience of premium headphones with Bluetooth.
Amazing audio fidelity, wired or wireless, AAC, aptX, and aptX Adaptive codec support, Onboard 24-bit/192kHz DAC, First-class materials and build quality,raised the bar in terms of wireless audio performance.

Best wireless headphones I have ever seen

Pros:
1. Amazing sound quality, almost near to audiophile kinda sound. 9.5/10
2. Build quality is top notch. 9/10
3. Focal’s product at affordable price.
4. It does support hires audio puts 24bit 192 kHz via dac mode.
5. We can use two devises simultaneously.
6. ANC and transparent mode is above average not the best. 7.5/10

Cons:
1. Not the most comfortable headphones out there. 7.5/10
2. Volume keys are made of plastic, I guess at $800 it should be metal.

Hey Noor, thank you so much for your detailed and genuine feedback, we're glad that you have such positive thoughts about the product and we'll share your thoughts with the brand as well.

Awesome, Pricey & Attention grabbing!!!

First & Foremost, thanks @headphonezone team for fast and secured delivery.

Coming to the product, first - the design. It is really unlike any other product in the market. It grabs the second stare from everyone. It is an attention grabbing for sure. Glowing logos adds to it(it can be switched off via app). So if you like to flash your stuff, go for it.
Coming to the sound, it possesses a very detailed neutral sound profile. I also used it in the DAC mode thru USC C, it does increase the clarity but not by much.
Sound is really awesome. But, I’ll rate them on 3rd position after Sennheiser momentum 4 on 1st, AirPods Max on 2nd position. But it is way better than Bose NC 700 and QC 45’s.

Best wireless ANC headphones

The design is simple, flashing lights are cool. ANC is okay-ish. Comfortable but the sound quality is out of this world, especially on DAC mode. Made for audiophiles.

A Premium ANC Wireless Headphone - Focal Bathys

Weighing at 350 grams it doesn’t feel quite as tight on the head and is comfortable. It is a big and bulky headphone. Weight distribution is not as good as Apple Max.

ANC in silent mode is extremely good. Passive isolation is great. Transparency mode is good enough. Battery life is very good. Bathys makes crystal clear phone calls.

Bathys is a big sounding headphone and slightly warm sounding. It has a woody richness. Treble is slightly pepped up but not incisive. Great clarity and detailing. Nice amount of dynamic flair. The sub bass is present but not overbearing. It is as good if not better than its peers, the B&W and Sony.

It has a fuller sounding mid bass which is great for acoustic music. Bathys sorts out complex arrangements with ease. D&B, Hip Hop, Techno pop music is a little subdued.

It has a DAC mode. But I am not sure if people would prefer this mode over Bluetooth and ANC.

Overall, the performance is excellent and it is a great sounding luxury product. It may become your go to Wireless headphone.

Thanks a lot for your detailed and genuine feedback, we're glad that you have such positive thoughts about the product and we'll share your thoughts with the brand as well. It'll also help our fellow customers to make the right choice!
