Focal Bathys

Focal's first wireless ANC headphone, the Bathys brings genuine hi-fi sound quality to the Bluetooth and noise-cancelling category, refusing to treat wireless as a compromise.

Type and Technology

Over-ear, closed-back, dynamic. Wireless Bluetooth 5.1 with active noise cancellation, USB-C wired hi-res audio, and 3.5mm passive analog input. Up to 30 hours battery life. Handcrafted in France.

Sound Character

Warm, detailed, and more resolving than any Bluetooth headphone has a right to be, the Bathys uses the same 40mm aluminum/magnesium M-dome driver found in Focal's wired lineup, and it shows. ANC is effective without over-darkening the sound, and the USB-C hi-res mode bypasses wireless compression entirely for a genuinely audiophile-grade wired experience.

Build and Comfort

Premium leather earcups and headband, aluminum yoke, and memory foam earpads. Available in Black or Dune. Folds flat for travel with a hard shell carry case included.

Best For

Audiophiles who travel or commute and refuse to give up sound quality, or anyone who wants a single headphone that excels equally at home and on the go.
