Focal Bathys
Over Ear Active Noise Cancelling Bluetooth Headphones with Mic
£699
”Focal blends Bluetooth into its high-end headphones recipe with great success.” ’What Hi-Fi?’ – 5 Star review.
Premium travel headphones
Blending Active Noise Isolation and Bluetooth connectivity with Focal’s legendary sound quality, the Focal Bathys have what it takes to make the ultimate pair of travel headphones. First class comfort and style further enhances their case as the ultimate travel companion.
Ideal sound isolation – whatever the environment
For the perfect sound isolation, in every environment, the Focal Bathys offer various noise cancelation modes. ‘Silent’ mode maximises the Active Noise Cancelation (ANC), making it ideal for music on the move. ‘Soft’ mode suits less noisy environments and is ideal for when working in the office or at home. ‘Transparency’ mode is also available for when you need to be more aware of surroundings, such as when walking or waiting for travel announcements.
Superb Focal sound quality
Whatever the environment, Focal’s sound quality is in a class of its own. Using patented aluminium/magnesium M-dome speakers, the Bathys produce a dynamic and detailed sound. Getting the perfect balance between a deep, rich bass and natural vocals, it’s easy to engage with the Bathys.
Go wired via USB for ultimate audio
For the best sound quality experience, the Bathys connect to your source via a conventional 3.5mm headphone output or, better still, USB-C. Connect to your device’s USB-C interface and you get to make use of the Bathys’ USB DAC (Digital to Analogue Convertor) that supports 24-bit/192Hz Hi-Res audio.
Supreme comfort
Using materials such as magnesium, aluminium and leather, the Focal Bathys feel like a premium pair of headphones the moment you pick them up. Put them on and the soft ear pads and padded headband prove comfortable for the longest journeys. Exclusive details, such as the (switchable) illuminated logo make these headphones stand out from the crowd.
Long-lasting battery life
Even when connected via Bluetooth and with ANC on, battery life stands at an impressive 30 hours. If you’ve forgotten to charge your headphones but are dashing for a flight, a quick 15 minute charge is all that’s needed for 5 hours wireless playback.
Travel first class, with the Focal Bathys.

Superb sound
I would have given these headphones a five star rating, however at this moment I am struggling to connect wired from an IPhone 14 pro max to the usb c on the headphones. Hence cannot experience the dac function in the headphones. I am sure at this time there must be an answer to this problem and am awaiting to hear from Focal support and Apple support. Hopefully once resolved I can upgrade this review Richer Sounds?

Simply the best!!!
I love them! Compared them to Bowers &Wilkins PX8 - they are much superior. Don’t waste your time on reviews - get them.
But when I connected them to my iPhone. And fired them via their DAC - they shined !!! Love them, just so natural and realistic, it is shivering! Thank you RS!

Transparent sound, smooth frequency response
Tried these in parallel with a pair of B&W PX8, when I was originally planning to just go for the PX8s. I'm glad I did, as I found the Focals a distinct upgrade that justified their £100 extra price tag. The best wireless headphones I've used so far. Their sound is powerful but smooth with a frequency response that's a lot nicer than many.

Great service
The service I received was exceptional, and the salesman in the Newcastle store couldn't have been more helpful.
