More than a year after their launch, the Focal Bathys MG are now available in a new gray finish. This aesthetic update enhances these must-have high-end Bluetooth headphones. Without altering the performance or design, this new version retains everything that has made the model a success: exceptional sound, exemplary French craftsmanship, and a level of performance that makes them some of the best portable headphones on the market.
Headphones already regarded as the gold standard
When they were first unveiled, the Focal Bathys MG aimed to push the boundaries of Bluetooth headphones. We had the pleasure of testing them at their release, and you can read our review of the Focal Bathys MG on the blog.
The Bathys MG feature “M”-shaped magnesium dome drivers, designed and manufactured at Focal’s facilities in Saint-Étienne. This material, known for its lightness and rigidity, delivers a particularly detailed, responsive, and natural sound. The result is immediately apparent when listening, with a spacious soundstage, expressive vocals, and excellent clarity of even the subtlest musical nuances.
Beyond their audio performance, the Bathys MG also stand out for their versatility. They can be used via Bluetooth for everyday on-the-go listening, as well as in USB DAC mode to enjoy high-resolution audio files up to 24-bit/192 kHz. This approach makes them appealing to both on-the-go music lovers and discerning audiophiles.
The comfort also contributes to their reputation. The memory foam ear pads, the carefully padded headband, and the lightweight design allow for long hours of listening without fatigue. Combined with particularly effective active noise cancelling, the Bathys MG stand out as the ideal companion for both travel and remote work.

A new gray finish with lots of character
Following the Chestnut finish that accompanied the headphones’ launch, Focal is now introducing an elegant gray version. More understated and contemporary, this new color gives the Bathys MG a different look while retaining their instantly recognizable identity.
Both understated and sophisticated, this new model fits perfectly with current trends in high-end design. It will appeal to users looking for headphones that combine elegance and modernity without being over the top.
A model that has become iconic
In just over a year, the Focal Bathys MG have established themselves as some of the most sought-after Bluetooth headphones on the market. Their ability to combine audiophile-grade performance, comfort, advanced technology, and high-quality craftsmanship has allowed them to hold their own against the industry’s long-standing leaders.
This new gray finish doesn’t change the formula that made it a success. It simply offers a new way to enjoy headphones already considered the gold standard for anyone seeking an uncompromising listening experience. With this aesthetic evolution, Focal once again demonstrates that it is possible to combine innovation, craftsmanship, and timeless elegance in a single product.
