Focal has announced the launch of Bathys MG, Bluetooth headphones with active noise cancelation.
Bathys MG is fitted with magnesium speaker drivers with “M”-shaped domes, manufactured in France by Focal. They deliver high-fidelity sound that is rich, natural and ultra-precise, with powerful bass and crystal-clear treble. Focal engineers have also incorporated new microphones with optimized active noise cancelling, for better soundproofing of voices and perfect control over the environment through the elimination of unwanted background noise. USB-DAC mode delivers high-resolution sound at up to 24 bits/192kHz.
Bathys MG is part of Focal’s range of high-end headphones with a highly refined aesthetic. Inspired by the Clear MG – the benchmark hi-fi headphones for the home – its elegant Chestnut finish is enhanced by a backlit logo that adds a distinctive, modern signature. The use of premium materials such as aluminum and magnesium in the yoke delivers a combination of lightness and robustness. The genuine leather headband and ergonomic foam earpads are designed for comfort over an extended, compromise-free listening experience.
The ultimate portable headphones, Bathys MG delivers 30 hours of battery life in wireless mode, 35 hours when plugged in jack-mode and 42 hours in USB-DAC mode. Its fast-charge function offers an extra 5 hours of listening time in just 15 minutes. It also features Bluetooth 5.2 technology.
The Focal & Naim app makes it easy to control and users can adjust the EQ to their liking with predefined or personalized parameters, tailor it to suit the listening environment and implement the noise-cancelling option via Silent, Soft or Transparent modes. Lastly, the application offers a hearing test that adjusts sound rendering to the individual user.
The Bathys Mg are $1,299 USD ($1,699 CAD) and available for preorder now from authorized Focal dealers and will ship in May 2025.
