The Focal Bathys are some of the finest premium Bluetooth cans you can buy, and while you'd expect excellent sound quality from a pair 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, although they reign it in enough 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.

Features-wise, the Focals offer 30 hours of battery life and charging via USB-C, while two different levels of noise cancelling ('soft, '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 their 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 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're serious about over-ear wireless sound, don't miss out on this excellent Peter Tyson deal.
