Focal Bathys Overview

From Manufacturer

Styled in an attractive black and silver color combination, the Bathys Noise-Canceling Wireless Over-Ear Headphones from Focal continues their tradition of offering high-fidelity sound, now in a portable package. These compact headphones use 40mm aluminum-magnesium M-shaped dome drivers and proprietary Focal technology to deliver precise and dynamic wireless sound. When going wireless, you will enjoy your music in silence thanks to active noise cancellation. You can easily stay connected via hands-free calls that use Qualcomm Clear Voice Capture technology for crystal-clear conversations.

With a built-in DAC and amplifier, along with the included USB-C audio cable, you can transform the Bathys into a pair of high-resolution wired headphones to use with your laptop or smartphone. This mode supports high-resolution music up to 24-bit and 192 kHz. There's also a standard 3.5mm input on the headphones for connecting the included audio cable to older wired devices. As the Bathys headphones use active amplification, please note that listening via either wired mode requires using battery power. The battery provides up to 30 hours of listening time in Bluetooth and ANC mode, 35 hours using the 3.5mm input, and 40 hours in USB-DAC mode. Get up to 5 hours of listening time with a quick 15-minute charge when using an optional 5V/2A fast-charge adapter.

Three Noise Canceling Modes
  • Silent: Provides the most cancellation and is ideal for noisy environments and settings, such as when on a plane or subway
  • Soft: Cancellation is minimized for quieter environments and settings, such as when you're at home
  • Transparency: Cancellation is turned off and sounds are let back in so you can have conversations without removing your headphones
Two Wired Listening Options
While designed to be a wireless pair of headphones, you can connect the included 3.5mm audio cable and go wired if needed. You can even connect the included USB-C cable to utilize the built-in DAC and amplifier, which supports up to 24-bit/192 kHz high-resolution playback. Please note that both wired listening modes require battery power to power the active amplification circuit.
Refined Design
Matching the Bathys' high-quality sound is Focal's high-end construction, which uses a refined design and premium materials. The yokes showcase magnesium accents, while the aluminum headband is wrapped in real leather. The exterior of each earcup sports Focal's signature grille with their flame symbol emblazoned in the center. A white backlight can be turned on to add additional vibrance, or off to reduce any distraction to others.
Long Battery Life
On a full charge, the Bathys can provide over 30 hours of playback with Bluetooth and ANC enabled, 35 hours via the 3.5mm jack, and 42 hours in USB-DAC mode. A full charge takes only 90 minutes, but if you're in a rush, you can charge for just 15 minutes and enjoy an additional 5 hours of use.
Voice Control
Supporting both Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant, you can conveniently control your audio playback using voice commands.
Google Fast Pair
When paired with a Google Fast Pair-compatible mobile device, an on-screen pop-up lets you easily pair your headphones with just a tap.
Additional Features
  • Bluetooth 5.1 with Multipoint support
  • Supports aptX and aptX Adaptive codecs
  • Eight microphones
  • Integrated controls
  • Focal & Naim smartphone app for iOS and Android provides five-band EQ, noise cancellation control, voice assistant selection, LED light control, and firmware updates

Focal Bathys Reviews

Doesn't last long

By Aaron Schell
Rated 1 out of 5

Owned them for two years, just past the warranty period. Then one of the drivers started rattling for all frequency responses from 1-50hz. Only the ear cups are replaceable, not anything else.

Sound is fantastic - fit not so for me

I really wanna love these because they sound amazing and the tech just works. The problem for me is every time I stand up and sit down they slide off the back of my head completely, so the fit is a little strange because they’re quite heavy and rather bulky. If sound alone is a priority they are amazing.
