Product details
Equipped with magnesium drivers manufactured in Focal's French workshops, the Bathys MG delivers faithful sound reproduction. The bass is powerful, and the treble is crystal clear. Advanced microphones enhance active noise cancellation, providing better voice isolation. The USB DAC mode delivers high-resolution audio signals of up to 24-bit/192 kHz. The battery offers up to 30 hours of playback in Bluetooth mode, 35 hours via aux, and 42 hours in USB DAC mode (cable included). Efficiency down to the details. Bathys MG is equipped with Bluetooth 5.2 technology for seamless connectivity. Control is simple through the Focal & Naim app, allowing you to tailor the sound to your hearing and listening preferences. Adjust it to your environment with three noise cancellation modes: Silent, Soft, or Transparent. Inspired by the Clear MG, it features a warm chestnut finish and a backlit Focal logo. With high-quality materials like aluminum and magnesium in the headband, it combines lightness with durability. The genuine leather headband and ergonomic memory foam ear cushions provide exceptional comfort—perfect for long listening experiences without compromise.
