The Bathys design is inherited from Focal's open- and closed-back headphones. The earcup grilles pick up Focal's design code, with its highly aesthetic curves. Focal's flame symbol features at the centre of the earcup, incorporating a white backlight system to be activated if desired, for an understated, chic effect. Another standout feature of Bathys is its elegant and timeless Black Silver colorway.

SPEAKER DRIVERS MANUFACTURED IN FRANCE

In terms of sound, the Aluminum/Magnesium 'M'-shaped dome speaker drivers – made in France in our ateliers – give the headphones an audio quality that's unrivalled in its category. Our speaker drivers, equipped with patented Focal technology, have been slightly revamped to adapt to the constraints of a portable set of headphones – they are now lighter with a smaller volume. The result is a clear, dynamic and very precise sound, while retaining a sound signature that is optimized for use on the move: a present, ever-controlled bass.
