What a statement Bluetooth like Bathys Dune is. Through it Focal invites anyone, to listen anywhere. In clear and obvious style. Focal's trademark M-shaped aluminium-magnesium dynamic driver brings you flagship sound on the go. 5 ⭐ came from What Hi-Fi? because "the success of Focal's first effort" isn't surprising. Headfonics say Bathys "represents a serious upgrade on consumer headphone choices from the likes of Sony and Bose", something Digital Trends second.  Wired writes Bathys is Bluetooth "even staunch audio nerds can enjoy". Superb acoustics on the part of Focal's know-how are a given, and the warm, rich and detailed fidelity of Bathys breaks new ground for a portable headphone of its size – wired or unwired. However, what makes Bathys truly compelling is its range of noise cancelling, Bluetooth 5.1, Qualcomm® aptX™ Adaptive and app-controlled EQ. [See Product Desc. For More] Its name comes from the French word ‘bathyscaphe’, the first submarine exploration vehicle. And Bathys is the embodiment of calm, depth and absolute silence. It's already scooped up TechHive's Editors Choice award, and is ecoustics' favourite noise-cancelling headphone for 2022. Audioholics says Bathys "takes its place among the top sound quality-focused wireless headphones available", and gave it a Product of the Year award. Stuff slapped 5 ⭐ on this Bluetooth beast too. Audiophile-Heaven lauds Bathys. At the cutting edge of tech, but dressed up in finery as a finished product like only Focal can. Blurring the lines between lifestyle and audiophilia has become typical from France's masters of savoir faire. Bathys is proof that Focal has mastered that.  The Bathys design comes inherited from Focal’s open and closed-back audiophile headphones such as Clear MG and Radiance. The earcup grilles repeat Focal’s design language, highly aesthetic curves drawing attention to the company's prestigious logo symbolising style, luxury and belief in better. A white back-lit system beneath the logo may be activated if desired, for an understated, chic effect. Another standout feature of Bathys is its elegant and timeless black-silver colourway, for effortless sophistication. Indeed, this wireless Focal is something you want to be seen with, but also to hear. The comparisons to its bigger audiophile siblings visually are apt, but so are they sonically. Bathys promises a big chunk of Focal fidelity on the move, its M-shaped aluminium-magnesium drivers among the most audiophile-grade mounted in a wireless headphone before.  This driver's stiffness, light weight and damping not only promises you a warm, immersive and authoritative presentation of music in stock tuning. It's also fine ground for EQ to be implemented – and Bathys comes together with EQ pre-sets for listeners to select via the Focal & Naim control app for iOS and Android. Not only does Bathys sound excellent – it can be made yours truly, too, when you select your favourite sound signature.  aptX™ Adaptive ensures wireless transmission stability in most conditions.  Focal added a Silent mode of cancellation optimised for trips with high background noise but let's you switch to a Soft mode to aid concentration at work, while Transparency mode enables you to stay connected to your surroundings. And a USB-C cable gives you the listener the final ability to access Bathys' 24/192 DAC via a computer or phone, when seeking uncompromised fidelity. The sense of completeness in Bathys' package promises that form and function have truly met. Despite its humble entry into the world of Focal, Bathys is in fact one of Focal's proudest Head-Fi releases. And there is much more to explore from Focal for those seeking ever-greater levels of wired sound quality here, and you can also browse all of our Bluetooth headphones here. 

Final Audio's ZE3000 takes its name from its wired namesake's E3000, the brand's most widely recognised wired earphones. It's "a perfect companion for long listens without any fatigue" to Headfonics. Headfonia welcomed this wireless wonder, and Major HiFi gave it a Gold Award. ZE3000's sweet, intense vocal emphasis follows its owner where ever they may go. Overcoming the issues of distortion levels and space constraints in each earbud were carried out in typically novel Final manner. [See Product Desc. For More] f-Core for Wireless is what ZE3000's 6mm dynamic driver has been christened, its ability to act as if it was a much wider radiating surface a particular breakthrough. ZE3000 also brings f-LINK Damping System to bear, optimising the pressure in the acoustic space inside the earbuds housing to create a sound equivalent to wired earphones without the need for external vents. This makes it possible to properly control the low frequencies and reproduce vocals simultaneously, both issues that have been traditionally difficult to achieve with true wireless earbuds. The usual TWS paraphernalia accompanies ZE3000 here, with Final adding Qualcomm aptX, aptX Adaptive and IPX4 water resistance so it keeps up fully with the times on connectivity and function.

Technics crystalised what it demanded from a flagship TWS in AZ60M2, and fully realised its dreams with the LDAC release of AZ80. A 10mm aluminium driver works as advertised in delivering superb bass performance that's top in quality and quantity. Here's a technological marvel that shows Head-Fi how far Bluetooth has come. Technics know-how working with the acoustics of its large driver sees them bring an acoustic control chamber and a harmoniser for bass punch, and a low-distortion expansive soundstage. AZ80 is a Bluetooth flagship from the future, packed with Bluetooth 5.3 granting it Multipoint connection to three devices simultaneously. Together with JustMyVoice™ microphone pick-up technology, Technics set you up with yet another productivity monster. [See Product Desc. For More] Far from being all about work, though, Technics rock hard too.

This Bluetooth 5.1, LDAC and aptX HD receiver is also a balanced 4.4mm amplifier, giving you all the power you need with a battery life of up to 10 hours. And, it's as small as your AirTag. How iFi stuffed in its balanced circuit, Qualcomm QCC 5100 Bluetooth receiver and outboard Cirrus Logic CS43131 DAC chip is a closely guarded secret they won't be telling anyone in a hurry. [See Product Desc. For More] Convenience aside, GO blu is a genuinely audiophile design with boutique parts and an attention to circuit detail – including direct coupling – that belies its use cases and form factor. Headfonia puts this iFi through its paces, and it won this race. Just like What Hi-Fi? awarded GO blu 5 ⭐ and an Applause Award followed from StereoNET. Headfonics love "it's appropriately named a pocket rocket because that’s what it is". MOONSTAR Reviews echoes that praise. That's proven in iFi's USB-C socket that doubles as charging input and wired DAC input, if you'd like the ultimate in pocket fidelity. Enjoy it to its maximum via the 4.4mm cable supplied with Audio-Technica's MSR7b – or at home with any one of iBasso Audio's SR2 or Focals via a CB17 cord.

xDSD Gryphon is the host with the most, but in reality it's possibly the most focused recent offering of technology from iFi Audio. Most, if not all, of iFi's latest innovations in the arena appear in xDSD Gryphon – for the single-minded enjoyment of portable and desktop listeners alike. It goes straight onto Headfonia's Recommended Buys list, and sounded excellent at all times on Headfonics. [See Product Desc. For More] xDSD Gryphon is transparent while not being afraid to have fun doing so. Playing in stock configuration, it keeps the beat going and your listening always engaging and apace with the track. Audio-PH say it's a "complete device in all respects, harmonious and balanced in everything". Gryphon takes 5 ⭐ from T3. Gryphon is perfect to help your spacious, reference, gear like Audio-Technica's AWAS, Empire Ears ESR II, Oriolus Traillii, Rosson Audio Designs and Sennheiser's HD800S live a little. A true balanced, differential PureWave circuit co-designed by Hi-Fi legend John Curl makes its smallest, most portable appearance yet to add correct colour to life on the move. Size is no excuse for compromise and xDSD's power stage is direct-coupled for extended bandwidth into the lowest frequencies for excellent phase reproduction and fast-sounding bass. Gryphon may be tiny but is mighty, putting out up to 1,000mW of power in balanced 4.4mm. Eschewing global negative feedback in favour of local feedback for a more natural sound, PureWave is a true high-performance circuit befitting of your flagship earphones and headphones. A digitally-controlled analog volume control preserves resolution and the low noise of xDSD Gryphon, while maintaining perfect channel balance and tracking even at minute volume. This control christened CyberSync overrides all other controls from your sources, leaving you no doubt that your xDSD is operating at maximum dynamic range with no unsuspecting digital attenuation going on where it shouldn't happen. Never worry about missing bits again. All this technology befits a wired connection via included iOS Lightning, USB-C and USB-A OTG cables. But in a pinch xDSD Gryphon transforms into an aptX Adaptive, aptX HD and LDAC Bluetooth receiver with Qualcomm’s new QCC5100 Bluetooth chip feeding the master Burr-Brown DAC. XSpace, XBass II and a Presence control round off a list of features, none of them redundant and all fully focused on pure musical pleasure from xDSD Gryphon.

iFi Audio's hotly-anticipated GO pod turns your prized wired earphones wireless! These Bluetooth adapters fill a niche to make your flagships even more convenient, and better sounding than before. Stock arrives end-July 2023. Never has Bluetooth promised to be this flexible and high-quality. From the makers of the acclaimed GO blu comes wearable Bluetooth DAC/headphone amps that you can attach to MMCX and 2-pin IEMs – dispensing with those messy cables in the process.  And praise has been pouring in for iFi. Headfonia place GO pod on their Recommended Buys list. Headfonics found it wanting for nothing. GO pod gets highly recommended on Ear Fidelity. And John Grandberg writes "nobody else has so far managed to execute the idea to such a high standard" on Darko.Audio. Twister6 compares them to wired sound quality. [See Product Desc. For More] iFi's headline act is how GO pod is the first device in the world to support Hi-Res transmission of 24/96kHz audio, with LDAC, Qualcomm® aptX™ Adaptive and Snapdragon Sound codecs built on the Bluetooth 5.2 standard. That's possible with iFi separating the Bluetooth receiver, DAC and amp modules even in the featherweight, space-limited GO pods.  Qualcomm’s top-tier QCC5144 receiver maxes out Bluetooth quality, and that data stream gets sent to a separate Cirrus Logic CS43131 DAC for no-compromise decoding.  It's not just about the GO pod's fidelity, but also its ability to deliver that signal as pristinely as possible into IEM impedances that have been steadily dropping. Despite its miniature battery power supply, this iFi is rated into loads as low as 16ohms – right after USB DAC/amp dongles, GO pod is the very next credible DAP replacement. Indeed, Bluetooth just got serious. Naturally you'd want to get these attached to as many as your prized IEMs as possible. And in addition to stock MMCX and 2-pin attachments, Pentaconn Ear, T2 IPX and A2DC GO pod connectors are sold separately.  Even GO pod's charging case reeks of iFi's attention to detail. With each storage compartment roomy enough to accommodate the largest CIEMs, there's also a 1,500mAh battery that's large enough to offer up to 35 hours of play time.
