It’s hard to go back once you put a pair of sonically superior headphones on your head. It’s like leaving the cave and finally seeing the light. Suppose you’re ready to step out of the darkness and into the bright world of the on-the-go audiophile, and you want the option to lose wires without losing all the fidelity. In that case, the Focal Bathys Bluetooth headphones are on sale for $639 on Amazon, the lowest price in 30 days for these top-tier over-ear travel companions.

Focal Bathys $639 (Was $799)

Submerge yourself in sound without capturing yourself in cords with the Focal Bathys wireless headphones.

Named after the first self-propelled submersible, the Bathys headphones are French luxury audio brand Focal’s first active noise-canceling (ANC) wireless model. They share DNA with the company’s high-end headphones (like the Focal Stellia—on sale for $2,399, down from $2,999, and our closed-back pick for the best headphones of 2023). The Bathys packs a 40mm aluminum-magnesium “M”-shaped dome driver underneath the signature concentric circled grille, skips touch controls for physical buttons for volume, ANC, and play controls, all tied together with magnesium yokes and leather headband accents. Under the hood, well-implemented DSP manages the stable, resolving Bluetooth 5.1 connection (with support for SBC, AAC, aptX/aptX HD/Adaptive codecs, plus multipoint support), and the built-in 24-bit/192 kHz DAC also allows for unadulterated audio with computers and mobile devices via USB-C.

Don’t take just my word for it: PopSci’s resident headphone guy says, “The Bathys is worth sinking your time (and money) into if you love a fluid listening experience.”

If you’re still a wired it-girl (or guy) with a taste for summit-fi synergy, consider grabbing the Stellia we mentioned above and this Naim Uniti Atom Headphone Edition Music Steaming Player and Amplifier—on sale for $3,039, regularly $3,799—which connects directly to high-resolution music streaming services so you can cry to Taylor Swift’s “folklore” harder than ever before.

This 20% off Focal & Naim deal will be gone faster than an Eras Tour ticket—snag one before it’s over.

Here are more deep discounts so you can submerge yourself in music’s buoyant depths:

Why Trust PopSci

Popular Science started writing about technology more than 150 years ago. There was no such thing as “gadget writing” when we published our first issue in 1872, but if there was, our mission to demystify the world of innovation for everyday readers means we would have been all over it. Here in the present, PopSci is fully committed to helping readers navigate the increasingly intimidating array of devices on the market right now.

Our writers and editors have combined decades of experience covering and reviewing consumer electronics. We each have our own obsessive specialties—from high-end audio to video games to cameras and beyond—but when we’re reviewing devices outside of our immediate wheelhouses, we do our best to seek out trustworthy voices and opinions to help guide people to the very best recommendations. We know we don’t know everything, but we’re excited to live through the analysis paralysis that internet shopping can spur so readers don’t have to.
