    A happy surprise

    Coming from a Bose QC35 II, I was expecting a sound with greater fidelity but perhaps more subdued and soft, but in the end the result is very dynamic, with no lack of precision or space.
    The headphones' sound is very well calibrated, and good quality mixes take on their full meaning within them, although I have to admit that it can be difficult to go back to certain tracks where the tracks are poorly managed.
    The Bluetooth functions work perfectly, but the best way to listen to them is in USB DAC mode on a piece of media, as the difference in sharpness in the high and very low frequencies is quite audible!
    In terms of comfort, the headphones are heavy, and I personally have to take the time to adjust them correctly on the top of my head to avoid pain during long listening sessions. That said, once properly fitted the headphones are very comfortable, the ear cups leave plenty of room for the ears and the top band is well padded.
    All in all, I'm very satisfied, I couldn't have expected such a great experience!

    the ultimate in high-fidelity closed-back headphones

    This product is crazy audio quality and perfect Focal tape strong amateur or pro audiophile this is for you.
    -It is fair on all frequency ranges Hz. noise reduction is very good not the best, but largely enough, the cushions to them alone isolate passively very well noise, added to that the active part which isolates very well thanks to 8 microphones including 6 to manage noise reduction and 2 feedback.
    As for connectivity, it's all there.
    -Bluetooth manages AAC SBC and Qualcomm aptX adaptive
    wired: jack or USB-c (you need to activate the headphones to take full advantage of the wired product), not forgetting the DAC.
    -Those who use iOS or Android an app is available to manage the balance noise can provide this app but in my opinion unnecessary given the capacity that provided this headset natively.
    -When it comes to comfort, it is imposing and heavy in the hand, but its structure once worn on the head its weight is cancelled because the comfort due to the choice of materials and it adapts very well to any shape of head.
    Good listening to you with these Focal Bathys headphones.
