Focal Bathys MG Wireless Noise Cancelling Headphones - Brown

Pushing the Boundaries of Wireless Sound

Focal's Bathys MG is a Bluetooth headphone with active noise cancellation built around exclusive Focal Magnesium drivers, promising pure, ultra-precise high-fidelity sound in a genuinely portable package that travels really well.

What Hi-Fi? magazine named Bathys MG its Product of the Year for Best Wireless Headphones in its premium category, urging readers to genuinely "take the time to listen" for themselves.

audioholics.com's Wayde Robson called the DAC mode a genuine step up, "rather than just another pair of Bluetooth headphones," for hi-fi enthusiasts already used to separate DAC and amp accessories entirely.

Where the Full-Magnesium Driver Earns Its Keep

A Driver Borrowed From Clear Mg

Inspired by Clear Mg, Bathys MG uses 1-5/8" (40mm) magnesium speaker drivers with an 'M'-shaped dome, made in France, for genuinely natural, highly accurate sound reproduction throughout every single genre.

Bass is impactful and treble genuinely crystal-clear throughout, with advanced microphones enhancing active noise cancellation for genuinely better voice isolation and precise environmental control wherever you actually happen to be located.

Bluetooth 5.2, With a Genuine DAC Mode

Bluetooth 5.2 technology handles genuinely seamless connectivity throughout, while the USB-DAC mode itself provides genuinely high-resolution audio up to 24-bit/192kHz for a true hi-fi enthusiast experience while on the go.

Multipoint Bluetooth connects to two devices at once, automatically answering a call on your own phone even while you're genuinely listening to audio from a separate computer or nearby tablet device.

Who Is the Bathys MG Best For?

• You want Focal's most advanced wireless driver: full-Magnesium domes replace the standard Bathys' Aluminum-Magnesium construction entirely
• You already use separate DAC and amp accessories: Bathys MG's DAC mode offers a genuinely compelling one-stop portable alternative
• You want smoother treble and a wider soundstage: reviewers consistently describe these as real, audible upgrades over the standard Bathys
• You connect to multiple devices throughout the day: multipoint Bluetooth switches seamlessly between a phone, tablet, or laptop
• You want Focal's very best wireless driver — the magnesium dome in the Bathys MG

How Does It Connect to Your System?

Pair over Bluetooth 5.2 directly from a phone, tablet, or laptop, or connect via USB-C for the built-in DAC mode's best possible sound quality.

Control is simple via the Focal & Naim app, letting you tailor the sound to your own hearing and listening preferences from wherever you are.
