But that's … not who the new $1,299 Focal Bathys MG are for. With wired headphones, you get a reliable pair that will sound great for years, but you often forgo bells and whistles like noise canceling and multidevice pairing. They can be used in wired or wireless mode, with a USB cable, or with a standard 3.5-mm cable. They’re the Leatherman of modern wireless headphones, but with French design flair. They boast a gorgeous layered metal-and-leather look with a round hole motif that culminates in an LED-backlit Focal logo that resembles a tornado.
