For a pair of Bluetooth closed-backs, these are absolutely impressive. I'd describe them as warm but still audiophile friendly, bass is great and accurate which, while not as surgical as say that of BA drivers, is still quite controlled, textured, and has good oomph. Resolution is spectacular, it's certainly better than I expected. Highs are not harsh, rather decently sparkly and give life to the music, while the bass and mids give it body. Tuning is pretty relaxed and the soundstage is respectable given they're closed-backs, and oddly enough, depending on how their placed on the head (moved forward or back), the soundstage changes considerably (likely because of the angle of the drivers). They sound better on DAC mode (thought not by a crazy amount), and the provided USB-C cable has a really good "grip" in the ports, which I like. I found the best genres to listen to on them are those with full-bodied songs with some slow atmospheric bass and female vocals, e.g. Nordic folk, viking, darkwave, and such sound absolutely amazing on them. But very fast and very complex songs like certain subgenres of metal don't blow me away on them, I think speed isn't their strong suit, though normal pop kind of speed is totally fine on them. ANC is okay, I don't really have much experience with ANC but I've tried much better headphones for that, so of note is that there's a light ANC mode and a transparent mode, though there isn't an off mode. I imagine the engineers realized it's difficult to tune drivers in a way that sounds as best as it could both with and without ANC, so they tuned it with ANC assumed on and didn't provide an off option. App is good enough, though the customized sound made them sound less pleasant to me so I didn't enable it. App also has an EQ and logo light control (bright, dim, off), but I like their Focal tonality out of the box. They're pretty comfortable, not too heavy, with a good battery life. I also really like the case, it's quite portable, more than you'd expect knowing how thick the pads are (which I also really like). Build appears pretty solid and the headphones are very comfy, I wore them the majority of the time in the past few days. Nothing majorly bad to say about them really. If you're looking for the best of both worlds, the closed-back audiophile one (resolution, control, tonality, soundstage, etc) and the convenience one (Bluetooth, ANC, lightweight, etc) then you'll get a perfect balance with the Bathys. They won't blow your mind if you're coming from anything high-end, especially couple kilobuck+ IEMs, but they will definitely scratch that itch of just wanting something convenient without being bombarded by faults you can't unhear. There are some design flaws in terms of convenience/utility, but as I said, it's a balance. E.g. No passive mode, no LDAC or aptx HD, jack implementation isn't great, volume increments are pretty large, etc. But I stand by my main message: Bluetooth + audiophile grade? There's hardly a better pair, not without going much more expensive.

SIMPLY SPLENDID! Like others I had Bowers & Wilkins PX7 SE, Bose Quite Comfort and both were defective and had to return! Although these two sounded very nice for the audiophiles but the Focals Bathys have much more detail on all ranges blows away the competition the audiophile quality is NUMBER ONE IN SOUND! The noise cancellation isn't the champion but it does the job very well! The Bathys are extremely comfortable! The ear cups fit my 2 3/4" ear length (measure your ears before buying any over ear headphones, and find out the ear cup sizes online!). The Bathys are very high quality and are a luxurious headphone indeed! I love the button controls and disagree with criticism about the layout and form! I love the Black Stealth color! The Black Stealth color is over $100 cheaper than the boutique colors! TRULY THESE HEADPHONE ARE LIKE WALKING AROUND WITH MY FOCAL CHORUS FLOOR-STANDERS ON MY EARS! Oh by the way I am using a Astell & Kern SR35 portable number one rated music player and of course an iPhone for podcasts and such. I AM KEEPING THESE UNTIL THEY WEAR OUT! BUY THE BATHYS NC AUDIOPHILE HEADPHONES YOUR EARS WILL LOVE YOU FOR IT!

I spent a lot of time testing the Bowers & Wilkins Px7 S2e ’s and Px8 ’s before the Focal Bathys arrived (see my review), so this review is seriously colored by the comparison review I worked on for those. The discount pricing I was able to grab was Bathys @ $600, 8’s @ $450, 7’s @ $240. TL;DR—in terms of overall rating, I would draw a line from the 7’s to the 8’s, and I would place the Bathys on that line about 1/3 of the way from the 7’s to the 8’s. So if I could only have one, I’d pick the B&W Px8 ’s. Interestingly, if I could only have two, I might still pick the B&W Px7 S2e ’s before I’d keep the Focal Bathys. But I’ll say the same thing as I said in my 7 vs. 8 review: once I put on the 8’s and start listening to music, I start to forget that I’m supposed to be testing and I just want to listen to more music—and that really cuts to the core of it. The Bathys are not punchy at all. They just lack punch. Testing against Midnight Rider by The Allman Brothers band, which I find overly punchy on both the 7’s and 8’s with a -2.0db bass cut, just for fun I turned the bass as far up as it would go on the Bathys, and I still wouldn’t describe them as particularly punchy. Where the Bathys really shine is soundstage, as many other reviewers have stated. The level of detail you get is incredible, so you can place all of the instruments in space very well, and on top of that you can really focus on the detail of particular instruments. So if you are looking for analytical headphones, these are the best of the three. But, these two features come at a real cost. The Bathys are overly trebly and tinny and lack warmth, depth, and intimacy. So if you want to analyze or transcribe music, the Bathys are for you. If you want to fall in love with music, go for the Px8 ’s. Here are some examples… The level of detail and soundstage of the percussion & typewriter at the beginning of Hold Me Now by Thompson Twins is the best on the Bathys—so if the FBI needed you to identify the model of the typewriter, the Bathys are the way to go. Also, for the last minute of Gratitude by Brendon Lake, there are a few strokes of the cello, and the placement in space and the detail you get on the Bathys are amazing, and they’re lacking in the B&Ws. But the cost of that detail and soundstage…a metaphor I might use would be that you get soup instead of stew. The B&Ws have a richer, fuller, sound. The Bathys sound thin. You might describe them as tinny. The feeling of the sound is like the frequency response that you get from a thin LCD television. I think if there were a recommended EQ for the Bathys from the guys at headphones dot com or a similarly reliable source, that might be a place to start. I’m not confident with creating an EQ myself, but I experimented with the EQ levels a bit to try to add some richness by boosting the lowers frequencies in different combinations. But I was unable to add the rich fullness that I was craving because I also had the B&Ws for comparison—it helped somewhat, but then I’d switch to the B&Ws and I’d be like, oh yeah, that’s how it should be. Two other songs for comparison’s sake that were really helpful: Ventura Highway by America and Another Park, Another Sunday by the Doobie Brothers. The guitar in Ventura Highway is most alive on the 8s… you experience it most fully and get that satisfying Living Stereo feeling. With the Bathys you get the most detail, but it’s the thin tin that makes it not as fully alive. Likewise, in Another Park, Another Sunday, at 1:30 there are three notes on the vibraphone. You can follow the decay of the third note until it gets muted at around 1:36. It’s most alive on the 8’s and 7’s because there’s more richness since there’s a set of lower frequencies that are not there on the Bathys. So you can still hear the detail of those vibraphone notes, but you’re missing the richness of the overtones (the vibe!) of the vibraphone as an instrument. Again, perhaps someone more skilled with an EQ than me could solve this problem. However—should we have to solve problems with an EQ, or should the EQ be more about personal preference? I feel like the EQ options on the B&Ws are just what I need—enough to bring down the punchiness which I do not like, without changing the overall characteristics of the headphones. I got my tweak on the B&Ws, but with the Focals I feel like I need a “remodel” or an “overhaul.” I loved hearing the detail and the expansive soundstage on the Bathys… but like I said in my review that compared the 7’s and 8’s… once I had the 8’s on, I just wanted to keep them on and listen to more music, and I just didn’t feel that way about the Bathys or the 7’s. Even with zero discount, the 8’s would still be my choice over the Bathys. In fact, call me crazy, but I even might choose the 7’s over the Bathys if those were the only two choices available to me. One personal peculiarity I should state about my ears—if I hear boosted treble for a little while, my ears will become desensitized to treble and anything I listen to after that will sound lacking in vibrance and clarity. So in going back and forth, I had to reaclimate to the B&Ws over and over for them to sound good again—it would take a few minutes with the 8’s for high-hats to sound natural and satisfyingly crisp again. So for me personally, I feel like the Bathys give me too much treble out of the box, and I wasn’t able to come up with an EQ curve for it either. In terms of physical comfort, I would say that the 7’s are the most comfortable, followed by the Bathys, and with the 8’s coming in last. For me, the Bathys do put too much pressure on my jaw bone similar to the 8’s, but less pronounced. The Bathys are less warm than the 8’s, similar to the 7’s. The Bathys would be great if you have large ears, or a wide head… There is something about the padding though that makes it so that the Bathys don’t mold (or maybe “connect” is the right word) to your head as well…so there’s more play in them when you move your head—they don’t quite becomes as much a part of you as the B&Ws. I have a narrow head and wear narrow-framed eyeglasses though. Another peculiarity of the Bathys—the options of pass through, soft and silent noise cancelation, do change the characteristics of the sounds slightly. Just something to be aware of and I don’t want to spend words on it, but I could tell a slight difference when switching. I couldn’t really tell a difference on the B&Ws unless I gave external input (snapping my fingers). Interesting learning about the apps during testing: all three headphones can play audio from one source (my laptop) while I access them from their apps and adjust the sound simultaneously. That was a very pleasant surprise. Note for the chemically sensitive—the Bathys don’t have too much odor to them. (I’m writing this on day one.) The case stinks in comparison to the headphones. However—the good news is that I’m pretty chemically sensitive and my mucus membranes don’t react to these, so hopefully that is helpful data. Similar to both the B&Ws on this front.
