Product details

The Bathys are wireless headphones with Bluetooth 5.1 and Active Noise Cancellation. With two noise cancellation modes - a 'Silent' mode for travelling with loud ambient noise and a 'Soft' mode that promotes
concentration - this technology offers perfect noise isolation. In addition, a "Transparency" mode allows you to perceive ambient noise when needed.

The patented aluminium/magnesium M-dome speakers are manufactured in Focal's workshops in France and deliver a detailed, dynamic and pure high-fidelity sound. In addition, the integrated USB DAC mode offers up to 24-bit, 192 kHz resolution: the guarantee of unsurpassed sound quality in mobile headphones.

In terms of design, Bathys inherits Focal's open and closed headphones. It features fine materials, an elegant Black Silver finish and refined details such as the activatable backlit flame in the centre of the earcup. The battery life of these mobile headphones is over 30 hours when using Bluetooth® and active noise cancellation. It is the perfect companion for all your travels, whether on land or in the air.

The IMTEST comparison test shows that although more expensive doesn't necessarily mean better, the red pencil is clearly noticeable, especially with a very affordable model like the Soundcore Space Q45. There is a lack of sound quality, but savings are also noticeable in the microphones and ANC...

With very effective active noise cancellation, divided into three sensible modes, an EQ also for custom settings and a distinctly cultivated acoustics in neutral setting, the Bathys is suitable...
