Ik verkoop mijn gebruikte focal bathys-koptelefoon. Uitstekende geluidskwaliteit en hoog draagcomfort. Ideaal voor muziekliefhebbers! De koptelefoon verkeert in topstaat. Perfect voor lange luisterses
Against 14 recent comparable asking prices, the €400 median runs from €310 at the 25th percentile to €468 at the 75th. At €220, this Bathys is well below even the lower quartile: a genuine bargain, assuming it is functional and complete.
The Bathys is one of the more convincing hi-fi wireless ANC headphones, combining a lively Focal presentation with Bluetooth, useful noise-cancelling modes, and an excellent USB-DAC capable of up to 24-bit/192 kHz. Battery life is strong, too—up to 30 hours over Bluetooth and longer in wired or USB-DAC use. At this money, check charging, ANC, both earcups, and confirm the hard case plus 3.5mm and USB-C cables are included; even with minor cosmetic wear, €220 leaves considerable value.

Focal traces its roots to 1979 in Saint-Étienne, France, where engineer and hi-fi enthusiast Jacques Mahul founded the company in a small workshop within his father's precision engineering firm. Initially operating as JMlab, it began crafting bespoke speaker drivers, with early models like the DB13 earning acclaim for their compact yet dynamic bass performance. This heritage of acoustic innovation and French craftsmanship propelled Focal's evolution, marked by pivotal 1990s expansions under Gérard Chrétien's leadership, yielding iconic references such as the Vega and Grande Utopia loudspeakers that redefined audiophile standards.
The brand's core focus remains high-fidelity loudspeakers, where it excels through in-house driver design featuring breakthroughs like inverted-dome tweeters, Polyglass cones, flax diaphragms, and beryllium tweeters in its Utopia line. Focal has diversified into professional studio monitors, premium headphones, car audio systems, and select accessories, all emphasizing noble materials and meticulous engineering. While not delving into amplifiers, turntables, DACs, or cables, its speaker-centric portfolio spans home, mobile, and pro applications with unwavering commitment to purity of sound.
Positioned firmly in the high-end market, Focal commands respect as a world leader among discerning hi-fi buyers for its benchmark performance, international awards, and "Made in France" prestige. No longer a niche boutique, it blends heritage appeal with cutting-edge technology, attracting serious audiophiles who prioritize transparency, dynamics, and emotional depth over mass-market compromises.
