High-end audio for less! Get the Focal Bathys for £449 at Peter Tyson
Five-star performers at a great price
If you're on the hunt for a pair of the best wireless headphones with abundant features and active noise cancelling, then sure, go for the Sony XM6 or the AirPods Max. If, on the other hand, you're an audiophile who prioritises sound, then I recommend the Focal Bathys instead.
That recommendation is even stronger considering they can now be snapped up for just £449 at Peter Tyson. That's a £250 saving on the price we tested them at, making them one of the best deals of the year. Okay, it's only the beginning of January but it's still a great deal.
More seriously, these headphones offer outstanding five-star sound quality with a clear, detailed, and balanced sound signature, making them perfect for serious audiophiles.
Best Focal Bathys wireless headphones deal
Five-star beauties with outstanding features, including two different levels of ANC, a transparency mode, aptX Adaptive support and a USB-DAC mode that supports 24-bit/192kHz. You'll also get around 30 hours of listening time per charge, which is more than enough for most people. Now with a whopping £250 off!
The Focal Bathys are some of the finest premium Bluetooth cans you can buy, and while you would expect excellent sound quality from a pair of headphones that costs over twice as much as the Sony WH-1000XM5, (if you hunt around for discounts), these over-ears don't disappoint.
This being a pair of Focal headphones, there's plenty of flair to the Bathys' design. They do rein it in enough, though, to temper the look-at-me nature of those large, hole-ridden aluminium ear cups and light-up logos with enough class and subtlety to be taken seriously.
The Bathys offer 30 hours of battery life and charging via USB-C, while two different levels of noise cancelling ('soft' or 'silent') are at your disposal, together with a 'Transparent' mode. Codec support extends to SBC, AAC and aptX Adaptive.
You can even access a USB-DAC mode that supports 24-bit/192kHz through the USB-C port.
It's how they sound, though, that will make you fall in love with Focal's premium wireless cans. These are headphones that do a startling job of giving your music a bold, meaty presence within a wide, all-encompassing soundscape, granting you the sort of cinematic listening experience that is rarely found in wireless models.
The Bathys make music sound atmospheric, emotive and involving, with rich mids and lows providing sonic power without clouding those key details or particulars. To quote our Focal Bathys review: “For a wireless headphone performance, it’s among the most engaging we have heard.” High praise indeed.
If you are serious about over-ear wireless sound, don't miss out on this excellent Peter Tyson deal.
