Focal Bathys MG Wireless Noise Cancelling Headphones

Focal Bathys MG – premium wireless hi-fi, wherever you listen

The Focal Bathys MG combines the convenience of Bluetooth headphones with the engineering of a specialist hi-fi loudspeaker manufacturer. At its heart are Focal's exclusive 40mm pure-magnesium M-shaped drivers, crafted in France and designed to deliver controlled bass, fine detail and natural tonal balance. The Bathys MG is a closed-back, over-ear wireless headphone with active noise cancellation (ANC), built for music at home, work or on the move.

Three ways to listen

Listen wirelessly using Bluetooth 5.2 multipoint with SBC, AAC, aptX and aptX Adaptive support. For a conventional wired source, connect with the included 3.5mm audio cable. Or activate the integrated USB-C DAC for high-resolution digital playback up to 24-bit/192kHz from a compatible computer or mobile device. The internal electronics require battery power even when connected by cable.

Noise cancellation tailored to your surroundings

Choose Silent mode for stronger isolation, Soft mode for quieter spaces, or Transparent mode to stay aware of the world around you. The Focal & Naim app provides equaliser adjustment, personalisation and headphone controls. Comfortable ergonomic earpads and a genuine-leather headband make the Bathys MG suitable for extended listening.

Built for listening on the move

Enjoy up to 30 hours in Bluetooth mode with noise cancellation, up to 35 hours over the 3.5mm connection, or up to 42 hours in USB-DAC mode. A 15-minute fast charge provides up to five extra hours of listening. Available in Chestnut and Graphen Grey, with a fitted carry case and both 3.5mm and USB-C cables included.
