Bathys MG review
July, 2025

Focal Bathys MG

" Focal Bathys and Bathys MG are both great headphones - period. No headphone can ever be perfect, but the original Bathys seemed close to perfect as I'd ever heard in a portable, wireless headphone. Fortunately, Bathys MG didn’t stray too far from the original Bathys formula. Bathys MG introduces a refinement in detail, imaging and the added comfort of softer, real leather earpads that make it a tangible but slight upgrade.

Bathys Review
February, 2025

Bathys High-Fidelity Bluetooth Noise Cancelling Headphones

" I’ve always had a notion of a Focal “house sound”— dry, neutral to slightly bright, with a lot of high-end energy and detail. Instead, the Bathys surprise with a rich-textured, warm tonality which stresses the lower frequencies. Soundstage is reasonably wide and enveloping and layering is flawless; these capture orchestral and other complex arrangements deftly.
