Source: focal.com (read 2026-07-07) · corroborated by headphones.com (read 2026-09-21). Fetched Focal's official product page (focal.com/products/bathys), which confirmed verbatim: weight 350 g, "15/8" (40mm) Aluminium/Magnesium 'M'-shaped dome" drivers, product type "Bluetooth closed headphones with active noise reduction" (ANC yes), "Bluetooh version: 5.1 Multipoint", codecs "AAC, aptX, aptX Adaptive, SBC", connectors "Jack 3.5 mm, USB-C", and battery "30h in Bluetooth / 35h with mini Jack / 42h in USB-DAC" (the FAQ specifies the 30h figure is with Active Noise Cancelling). Retailer headphones.com corroborated every spec: "0.77lb (350g)", "1 5/8" (40mm) Aluminum-Magnesium 'M'-shaped dome", "Bluetooth technology: 5.1 Multipoint", "Audio codecs: SBC, AAC, aptX, aptX Adaptive", and "30 hours Bluetooth Noise Canceling", plus regular price "$849.00" (current sale $799). No fetched page stated an explicit release date (Focal footer "© 2024" is a copyright, not a release), so releaseDate and the release spec are null; battery_hr=30 is the ANC-on Bluetooth rated figure. Re-verified 2026-07-08: all 7 non-null spec values, priceUsd $849, and null releaseDate confirmed against re-fetched source and corroboration text; exact base Bathys model (not a variant).
