At a glance, they appear to be direct follow-ups to theBathyswireless headphones from 2022.
We praised the Bathys for its stunning musical clarity, depth, and space.
Each machine has its own style, however, the Azurys is the most similar to the previous model.
You see, the Azurys is a closed-ear pair of headphones.
For those who don’t know, a closed-ear design means the equipment is better at blocking outside noise.
Sound from other sources wont leak in and the content youre listening to wont leak out.
This makes the Azurys the best option for use in an office or other noisy environments.
Its important to mention that neither pair supports active noise canceling, according to a company representative.
They dont have the feature, meaning outside sound may interrupt your music to some extent.
Although with the closed-off design, its effects shouldnt be too impactful.
These headphones are more adept at handling bass as well.
Like the Bathys, it has the same frequency response, ranging from 15Hz to 22kHz.
Open-ear option
The Hadenys are quite different in that they areopen-ear headphones.
This pair offers a better immersive listening experience since open-ear designs can better replicate natural sound.
However, youll only be able to enjoy the high audio quality at home.
The problem with open-ear is the fact they offer little to no sound isolation.
Outside noise will disturb music playback, plus everyone around is going to hear what youre listening to.
Focals Hadenys clocks in at 294g while the latter weighs 306g.
Its not a massive gulf, but it makes the model more comfortable to wear.
The audio cable is longer too measuring six feet total with the same control button and mic.
Both headphones launch in June.
An exact date was not given.
The Hadenys will retail for $699/599/699 and the Azurys will cost $549 470/549.
