These waters run deep
The Focal Bathys ANC Bluetooth headphone combines all of the beautiful craftsmanship of a Focal headphone with the cutting-edge technology of a commuter-grade wireless headphone. It features Bluetooth 5.1 multipoint, Active Noise Cancellation (ANC), and Focal’s highly sought-after aluminum/magnesium “M”-dome speaker drivers. From the Greek word for deep, the Bathys runs deep in both technological ability and audiophile artistry: a travel-worthy headphone that’s leagues beyond the competition.
Active noise cancellation technology
The Bathys offers two ANC modes for total immersion in your music: a “Silent” mode optimized for journeys with high background noise (planes, trains, and automobiles), and a “Soft” mode to help with focus at home, in the office, and other similar settings. In addition, a “Transparency mode” gives you access to the sounds of your surrounding environment when desired or required, such as during an airline cabin announcement.
Authentic French speaker drivers
The Bathys features patented aluminum/magnesium “M”-dome speaker drivers, made in France using technologies from the finest Focal headphones. They benefit from the brand's full range of expertise in sound, delivering high-fidelity, transparent and dynamic sound reproduction. In addition, the integrated USB-DAC mode offers a resolution of up to 24 bits and 192 kHz, ensuring unrivaled sound quality for portable headphones.
Connectivity & Battery Life
Compatible with SBC, AAC, Apt-X™ and Apt-X™ Adaptive codecs, the Bathys offers a wide range of connectivity options: Bluetooth® 5.1, Jack, and USB. It offers over 30 hours of use in Bluetooth® and active noise cancellation mode, while just 15 minutes will give you 5 extra listening hours thanks to its fast-charging function.
High-grade materials
The Bathys design is inherited from Focal's open- and closed-back headphones. It combines high-grade materials—magnesium, real leather, aluminum—and ensures optimal comfort for all head shapes. The highly aesthetic rounded shapes of the ear cup grilles adopt Focal's refined headphone aesthetic.
Distinguished finishes
The brand's flame symbol appears at the center of the ear cups, incorporating a white backlight system that can be activated when desired. Additionally, the Bathys features a distinctive Black Silver finish and light weight, compact design and excellent support.
