I really appreciate how transparent Focal was while explaining how the driver is constructed which is rare coming from audiophile oriented companies. It was a nice video to watch.

There is just so much joy and craftsmanship in this video. It made me smile all the way through. The level.of pride and commitment Focal puts into their products is downright amazing. Tres bien mes amis 🙏

Just received mine today I absolutely love them 👍🏻 the build quality is supreme, totally on top of any other wireless headphones I have, the Only one that is close in terms of build quality would be the B&Ws, however the sound quality is better on these Focals, and now these are my favorite,😀 well done Focal 👍🏻 well done

This was an amazing mini-documentary. Thank you so much for putting the time, effort, and editing into this visit. And a huge thanks to Focal for being so open and transparent (pun intended?).

I can't wait to give these a listen!

Wow! We really enjoyed this video. Great work! 😀

Andrew - Excellent video allowing us to visit one of the best headphone manufacturers in the world. Thank you for this wonderful visit. I own three different Focal headphones (Celestee, Clear, & Radiance) and this makes me appreciate them even more. Knowing Focal, I have no doubt that the new Bathys will prove to be an excellent sounding ANC headphone. Can't wait to try it out! Thank you! 🙂

damn Focal went BALLISTIC for their marketing this time

Video production quality is A+

I’m unreasonably excited to try these headphones. If they live up to expectation, they’ll definitely be the noise canceling headphone I’ve been looking for!

I just bought the focal clears and 3 days later they release these omg, if I knew I would've bought these instead.

I have to say, watching this video gave me insight into how this all comes together and the joyful confidence exhibited by each Focal Team Member. I have a pair of Clear and look forward to having the Bathys in my collection. I want to work there. They make amazing products and smile all day long! Voila!!!

Love the BTS of what they do!

It's coming. I expect Bathys' quality so much. Your self-confident makes me happy for purchasing it.

Just amazing team and products Focal makes👏😍🇧🇻

Congrats on making the headphone us audio nuts have been waiting for 🎉🎉. This product will outsell all your other models, be ready for high demand. One point not discussed in the video is the design change to allow the headphone ear cups to rotate for storage in a nice new flat case. This makes them truly portable. Glad to see Focal never misses a design detail! For the noise cancelling modes, I would even suggest a 4th mode just for conference calls, one annoyance with current Sony and Bose headphones is the strange sound of NC when using them for calls, one’s own voice seems strange and often to low so people talk loudly, the quality of the microphone for calls and wind cutting is another area to improve on existing BT headphones. Please add a special Conference Mode and you will make even non-audiophiles very happy.

It's very refreshing and inspiring to see people with such a dedication to making a product with pride, enjoyment and high quality in every part of the journey with a focus on the enjoyment by their customers. Thanks for the joyful video!

Wow , hope it will sound amazing as it seems based on the specs !

This was awesome guys! One of your best videos to date!! Loved seeing the Focal facility, and I know I am going to be preordering mine for sure!! I just want to know how I get to tour the Focal headquarters myself! Just as a side note, I would love to see more of this kind of stuff with some other high end manufacturers. Get your Passports ready, because I hear Meze calling you next on your European tour!

wow great design to megane and the focal engineers. You guys continue design some of the best looking and best sounding products on the market.

USB DAC mode is a really interesting idea, I wish all BT headphones had that.

I have watched nearly 20 video reviews on these headphones. Over half of the reviewers don’t know how to pronounce the company name or the model name. They say “someone told me…” and still get it wrong. (How do you make a video review and not do the proper research on how to properly pronounce the company and model names? 🤔) This video makes it crystal clear how to actually pronounce both words with it being a tour of their French headquarters. Along with that, I’ve also watched reviews on 4-5 other brands/models and after over 30 videos I realized I’ve got to get my hands on these!

Excellent video!

Being a proud owner of several Focal speakers, like the Electra 907 Be 25th anniversary, and now a pair of Bathys, I would just recommend a few "burning" hours, because what you hear at the beginning, is nothing compared with the quality we get after that. Enjoy this new "gem" from Focal.

I just purchased these Focals, I have too many wireless headphones to be mentioned, my current favorite is the amiron wireless by Beyerdynamic, this headphone is not noise cancelling though, and I do use it through USB mode, I have a focal system in my vehicle, those Flac speakers are a phenomenon sound so fantastic, and a Focal amplifier I'm a Focal fan fantastic products 👍🏻

Focal is my favorite headphone company

Andrew outstanding job as usual

Got the Bathys for around the house. Then got the Celestee for in the studio. Now I want a Utopia. Thanks for draining my wallet, Resolve!

Thanks for this coverage. It's great to see passionate people talking about their product

Really interesting. Thanks for doing that. I listened to Focal Utopias years ago and was blown away. I got close to my first Focals earlier this year with the Elegia but ended up going down an IEM route. However, I'm going to try the Bathys🙂

exactly what i‘ve been waiting for

A lot of hi-fi, headphones look like headgear and look silly. I’m happy to see focal have a style to them and actually look really nice… until you put the two wires in them 😅. The fact that they finally went went wireless just makes sense! I’m excited to see what you guys think of them on the headphone show!

No LDAC is a missed opportunity :(

Absolutely awesome

I hope all this work and excitement pays off.

Hearing how the CEO pronounces "Hi-Fi", I now have a theory of the iFi brand naming lol

Hope to see a review on this soon!

We all want the head to head with the B&W PX8, I’m swaying to the Bathys right now! I need to demo them both!

ok, the scale of the video production just spiked to another level after canjam

This will be on my wishlist.

Beautiful video. Great work.

Resolve is the James Bond of headphones!

I spent hours doing research on a good wireless ANC-quality headphones. Reviews by podcasts, forums, and the like. New to the channel, really enjoyed this and the review on the Bathy's. I was debating on the B&W PX8's and the Bathy's, I have made my choice on the Bathy's.. Oh, I subbed just now, great content guys!

If we're going to talk high end bluetooth headphones, especially at $800, you might as well compare them to the Bang and Olufsen H95. I personally think the Focals will sound better, but since it's got a more "consumer" sound, I feel the H95 could give it a run for it's money. Hell, throw in the new Bowers & Wilkins Px8's and we'll have a three way rumble!

Amazing video! Thank you.

great, i already own the stellia's, clears, and HE1000V2's for my planars. now I may have to add these as well (sorry wallet) been waiting a long time for true Hifi wireless cans!! Focal Rocks

Just purchased the Bathys, extremely happy with them. At the hifi store, I was able to test the Celestee and Clear MG as well. The Clear MG in particular was absolutely beautiful, the craftsmanship was very similar to a luxury watch. And seeing how the Focal factory works, that vibe is reinforced. Looks like a Rolex shop! Thanks for this video, it was great ❤

Awesome!

ok after watching this I ordered them 😁 I’m excited

Pretty excited to try these

Watching this with my (new) Focal Clear ... thinking I need to add the Bathys to the list. :)

Great headphones, and we're pleased also to support European manufacturing! ☺

This is what ive been asking for for years. The Drop Panda had its go at it, and it’s not bad its just lacking in some areas, not to mention no noise cancelling, the only other option off the top of my head would the Nuraphones but theyre more like a gimmick rather than having a more Hifi sound

Gotta love the French accent! I just bought my pair and I can hardly wait!

Finally someone doing this. Only apple, which are Mostly a Dsp can is just sad.

Hmmm . Very nice. Dunno if you've heard (😸) Edifier Staxx collaboration . A review on their new bt headphones ?!?! I think you're one of the best reviewers so hoping you'll tell us more about them. Take care and so happy you got to be the there at the FOCAL plant .. omg !!!

Nice job! Thank you!

Please be good I love focal and this would give me an excuse to add another to the collection

wonder how the sound signature compares to the final ux3000, which is already a focal-like tuning

What a great video, everything was amazing. I enjoyed watching Focal, not just as an audio company but as people working together to deliver high grade audio products. I am not too keen on the price, but I can definitely see why these blutooth headphones would cost around 800 USD; unlike other companies with unjustifiable prices (*cough Apple). What impresses me the most is that they fit a DAC inside the headphones, maybe we'll see more of that in the future.

Will you compare these with T+A Solitaire T and Mark Levinson 5909? That would be fair battle of "Portble hifi anc headphones" Hope to hear all three in upcoming show here in Poland at the end of Oct.

I enjoy these ideas to be put into the Focal Noise cancelation Headphone since I have really wanted one for regular use of a higher quality. Here are my questions and concerns. First how much battery compared to Sony Wh-1000xm4/5 when on? How good of range is compared to Sony wh-1000xm4/5 on nit disconnecting? How good is the microphone. When put into cord mode with that DAC and noise cancelation mode on could you use it for example on the Fiio M17 since the Sony Wh-1000xm4 headphones have processing issues when noise cancelation is on while using the Fiio M17 with louder like static sounds when switching songs and has massively loud pop sounds when going off idle after a puase of about 20 seconds when put into Fiio Music App mode? For instance the Focal Clear work fine with this device since it has no processing competing issues with the Fiio M17 chips and has a lower sound static when changing songs. Will the transparency mode be better than Sony wh-1000xm4/5? Finally, will it work with Sony 360 reality audio or dolby atoms like Apple Music is doing and would you be able to calibrate it properly like an app separately to your ears and noise cancelation like the higher pitched sounds Sony has been having. Also the same if able to use a calibration to dolby atoms or 360 reality audio separately in another way. The last one could be the question for the Google 36o audio too or just not work since tou may need company info to do it, but seems you like tough projects and hope these questions can help with any issues not addressed. Thanks for anyone reading.

9:50 “Your most unhappy customers are your greatest source of learning.” That quote should have a photo of Amir’s ASR avatar next to it.

This is the kind of headphone I have been yearning for

It's about time.

Nice video. I recently bought the Focal Clear (which is now sold for under 1000 Euro) and with a DragonFly Blue in the phone playing Qobuz it is really a "whauw" experience. I am curious to hear how this Bathys stacks up. PS: Great to see a lady in this otherwise male dominated world.

This bout to SLAM

As a engineer I do recognize that the Frenches are way ahead of the rest of the world when it comes to design. Maybe it is just my taste, but seems that it is kind all spread their industry.

Thanks for the Focal HQ and factory visit! Frequency graph when?

Before I get too excited about this new model I have to see how much I like the Celestee that's arriving tomorrow.

What's an amazing company and a beautiful place.I do own the order Utopia and is my favorite to goes with the Auris audio HA2 FS Tubes amplifier.If they can make Wireless Utopia that sound as good as a wire one.I will definitely try to get one when is release.Thanks

SOLD!

I’m looking forward to the new brown color (íntead of black and dune colors) of FOCAL BATHYS in the near future for my ANC headphones collection (B&W PX8, Beoplay H95, SENNHEISER MOMENTUM 4)

No LDAC which means they don't care that much about having the best sound quality.

I was hoping they would say The noise cancelation is peak to perfection With top notch sound quality in a stereotypical French accent I'm so glad they were so transparent with From the driver to the build I wish all their headbands were Completely made of protein or real leather Anybody else likes Mégane Montabonel voice

I swear if focal does a wirelessgaming headset with their drivers it would be a instabuy for me , love my focal monitors!

I have one. I can say that the build quality is exceptional and the sound is exceptional when using DAC. For me, it just works, and works really well... However, there's a strange decision that was made to have the best codec it supports be APTx adaptive. That's by far not the highest res codec, but worse, there's low probability that an android user purchasing this headphone will randomly have a phone that supports it, the major manufacturers don't include it even in their flagship phones.

I am officially a fan🤟🏽

Hearing about how the sound signature will be more V-shaped makes sense for sales, but hoping it's not too overwhelming

Any idea how these hahaha people with glasses (thick frames). The nice thing is the AirPods Max adjust the fr if there is a seal breakage so it sounds consistent. My hifi glasses are not ones I would wear while traveling 😅

can you disable ANC totally thru all the input?

Awesome video

Excellent

I live in Lyon, when have you been here? ayyyyyyyyy

The wireless I've heard come closest to sounding good was made by Audeze. I'd be very curious as to how much better(or worse?) Focal has done. I quite like my Radiance for a daily driver, and if the Bathys is reasonably comparable, that'd be fantastic.

Soooo.... did you get to hear them? Are they better than the Mark Levinson?

Kinda really hope these will be good ngl

These are great but what I really NEED to know is when are they going to make replacement pads for the Elegia available? Also, can we get a extended warranty on the Elex? Merci

Okay….. I think that right now, from an intuitive perspective, these will be my last BT headphone purchase especially if they maintain the Focal dynamics.

i own focal headphones and love the sound but the clamp force and earpad size and design are not ideal for a good seal for noise canceling headphones. For me the earpads are a bit to small to be completely over ear and and too large to be on ear and the clamp force is a bit stronger towards the bottom.. i don't have this problem with any other brand of headphone just focal i hope these finally get a redesign since focal uses almost the exact same headband for all of the higher end headphones

Sick camera lens

Scotland Watching 🥃🥃

Thanks Much !......

Please review it and compare it to other wireless, wireless plus noise cancellation and closed back wired headphones from focal and other brands. Please

내일이면 노이즈캔슬링 헤드폰을 받습니다.너무나 기대 되네요.

Me with Elegia's & iFi xCAN < Bathys...

If it were less bulkier and priced around 450-500 bucks, I would have considered this over Sennheiser Momentum 4 Wireless.

No ldac? Aptx?

Man. if it was possible to run them passively with the audio cable I would buy a pair.

Hi guys what Bluetooth codecs do they support again? Thanks
