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.
Ideal For Casual Music Listening
Ideal for Travel
If you’re someone who enjoys listening to music and travelling, then you know how a pair of good headphones can be a total game-changer for your travel. These headphones are designed to sound great, are portable and offer long battery life. If you’re someone that enjoys listening to music while travelling, these are for you!
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.
You can expect these headphones to offer good quality and clear audio without having to connect additional peripherals. Just plug them on, and express yourself!
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.
Focal has earned a reputation in the audiophile community for creating headphones that match sound quality with luxury – a high-end aesthetic and build; that goes along with sonic performance. Focal is proudly introducing their first-ever Active Noise Cancelling wireless headphones - the Bathys. Bathys is Focals' first high-end wireless headphone that promises to deliver exceptional performance wirelessly with Bluetooth support.
Focal has incorporated a full-range 40mm aluminium-magnesium 'M' shaped dome speaker driver developed at their factory in France using technologies from the finest Focal headphones. They gain access to the complete range of the brand's audio knowledge, resulting in high-fidelity, transparent, and dynamic sound reproduction.
Focal engineers developed numerous prototypes to get the best possible Active Noise Cancellation which is future-proof. The Bathys offers two noise reduction modes (ANC, Active Noise Cancellation) for total immersion in the music: a "Silent" mode optimised for journeys with high background noise (planes, trains, etc.) and a "Soft Mode" to help with focus at home, in the office, etc. In addition, a "Transparency mode" keeps you aware of your surrounding environment when desired or required.
The Bathys has Bluetooth® 5.1 support that ensures no lag or delay making the music reach your ears without any compression. The Bathys performs exceptionally well whether you are watching a movie, listening to podcasts, or listening to Hi-Fidelity music on the go. The Bathys is compatible with SBC, AAC, apt-X™ and apt-X™ Adaptive codecs. It also offers a wide range of connectivity options: Bluetooth® 5.1, Jack (3.5mm), and USB.

Offers Optimum Comfort & Durability
It combines high-grade materials – magnesium, leather, aluminium, etc. – and ensures optimal comfort for all head shapes. The highly aesthetic rounded shapes of the earcup grilles adopt Focal's refined headphone aesthetic codes.

The Bathys also have more flexibility in the joints, with a few extra degrees of swivel. This mechanism allows you to wear your headphones for hours on end without experiencing fatigue.
Tactile Button Controls
The Focal Bathys' tactile button controls provide a simple and convenient way to control your audio experience. You can easily change the volume levels, skip tracks, play/pause music, and answer calls or switch to DAC mode.
Well straight out of the box, the Focal Bathys are the perfect combination of cutting-edge technology, superior comfort, and stunning design, offering a truly immersive listening experience. The added Noise Cancelling feature makes the Bathys a Maverick in all respects.
Accessories To Get You Started
1. Rigid Carrying Case Supplied
2. 2 Cables Supplied:
One 4ft (1.2m) Jack Cable;
One 4ft (1.2m) USB-C® Cable
3. Quick Start Guide
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.

4. It does support hires audio puts 24bit 192 kHz via dac mode.

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.
Good sound quality but poor ANC. Any other focal closed back is a better purchase than this.
i have hearing damage so i can't really tell the difference between these and like sonys or boses unfortunately
