With no wires to connect, wireless on ear headphones tend to be lighter and more portable than over-ears. They typically have an extended battery life and are packed in a carry case to ensure secure storage.

Focal is a brand name that's synonymous with premium audio and the Bathys Wireless are no exception. They're an over-ear set of headphones that balance active noise cancelling with high-fidelity sound.
The 40mm aluminium/magnesium "M"-shaped domed driver is made in France. Focal have refined it for portable use and the result is a headphone that has an incredible sound. It's a lively pair of headphones that I've tried. They can reveal every aspect with a deep and full sound.

The controls on the Bathys are simple and easy to use with a set of buttons on the right cup that manage your virtual assistant, Bluetooth pairing, and which source you're listening to. The ANC toggle button lets users to switch between various modes, ranging from standard SBC codes to the more advanced aptX or Adaptive codes.
If you're connecting via the USB cable and you connect your device in DAC mode and play at up to 24bit/192kHz. This doesn't require additional hardware or software to activate and the headphones will automatically do the job.
One thing that is odd is the LED on each ear cup which glows with white light when the headphones are turned on. It's a nice design, but I'm not sure whether it's necessary. Fortunately the lights don't draw up much power and don't impact the battery's life in any way. The Focal &Naim app allows you to disable the lights, as well as manage EQ and voice assistance, as well as a number of other options. The application is fairly light and easy to use although I experienced a few problems with the app initially. Some features call a voice prompt, but you can also select from a range of futuristic beeps and boops that indicate button presses and modes.

The headphones feature a light design that makes them extremely comfortable to wear. They're mostly made of plastic which makes them very lightweight and flexible, but they are also a little fragile. I wouldn't recommend dropping them off the top of my head, and the ear pads only cover your ears in a small amount so they're not as sound isolating as you'd think for this kind of headphone.
Pairing your phone with your headphones is a simple and quick process. First, ensure that the headphones are on and the LED indicator is blinking quickly. After that, go to the Bluetooth settings on your smartphone and connect the headphones. Once they're paired, the headphones will automatically connect to your device whenever they are within range.

Another great feature of these headphones is that they have an inbuilt microphone that allows you to take calls. This is handy if you're on the move and do not want to carry an additional cord. They also come with a battery that can last for around 10 hours, which is great.
Audio-Technica ATH-M60x
The ATH-M60x, the latest version of Audio-Technica's popular M series is a closed on-ear headset that is perfect for studio, mobile and broadcasting. The M60xs feature the same 45mm big aperture drivers as the renowned M50xs, which deliver excellent audio quality. They are able to operate across a broad range of frequencies, with crystal clear clarity, and a deep bass response.
The M60x's frame is composed of both metal and plastic and has a durable finish. The low-profile design of the M60x is very comfortable. The headband and earpads are made of protein leather, which is less likely than other materials to cause sweating. The headband of the M headphones is more narrow and more comfortable, making them more comfortable and airy. They also work well for wearing with glasses.

This is a great feature that ensures the headphones are secure to any device. The M60xs come with a low impedance of just 38 ohms, so they should work with almost any device.
Comparing the M60xs to over-ear headphones such as the Bowers & Wilkins P5 Series 2 they offer more of a balanced sound that doesn't focus on any particular frequency. The M60xs are also a smaller amount of money than Bowers & Wilkins, which makes them an excellent option for those with a tight budget.
While the M60xs do diverge from the M-series' classic design in a few ways, they look fantastic. The sleek black frame is complemented with simple logos on the band. The M60xs can't fold and are a bit bulky to carry. But, they're still a good choice for professional audio. Their noise-isolation performance is below average, letting in the rumble of plane and bus engines. However, this could be blocked by loud music and they're very effective in blocking out the sounds of location for videos and podcasts.
