THE VERDICT
The Bathys, a full-sized, over-ear wireless ANC headphone, are an engineering marvel and a work in industrial art. The owners enjoy a fine blend of style and substance.
Bathys, Focal’s first adaptive noise-canceling headphones, are instantly recognizable due to the company’s unique design sensibility. They come from a multi-year in-house development effort and incorporate the company’s signature M-shaped, 40mm aluminum/magnesium alloy drivers that are made by the company in France. The sound quality is excellent, making it worth the extra cost.
Setup and Features
The Bathys headphones provide a high-quality and luxurious solution for those who are looking for over-ear, Bluetooth wireless (with an aptX), active-noise-canceling headphones that can be worn on the ears. They also have a wired analog input and a USB DAC. These headphones have been developed over years of work in the company.
