April 2026 nieuw gekocht (heb factuur). Valt buiten retour periode, minder dan 10 uur gebruikt. Niet van nieuw te onderscheiden. Houd het toch liever bij m’n non-wireless collectie.
The Focal BATHYS is a premium closed-back wireless headphone that commands strong used-market demand. Against your ground-truth comps (median EUR 492, 75th percentile EUR 610), this EUR 950 asking price sits roughly 55% above the typical used range—a significant premium. Unless this unit is essentially unused with full original packaging and warranty transfer, that's ambitious territory. The BATHYS typically trades in the EUR 450–650 band used, so you're paying near new-retail pricing for a secondhand pair.
Before committing, verify the battery holds a full charge and cycles normally—lithium degradation is the primary wear point on wireless headphones this age. Confirm all original accessories ship with it: the USB-C cable, 3.5mm analog jack, and carrying case matter for resale value if you exit later. Ask for the purchase date and whether the unit saw regular use or remained mostly shelved; that context helps justify the premium or signals you should negotiate down toward EUR 600–700 range.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
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.
