Focal Bathys Wireless vs Noble FoKus Apollo

The Noble FoKus Apollo and the Focal Bathys Wireless are similarly positioned headphones. Both are closed-back over-ears with wireless capability targeted at audiophiles and consumers focused on sound quality. The Focal have less volatile sound signature that more closely resembles our target curve. The Noble have a slightly bassier sound (still balanced), which some might prefer for genres like funk or EDM. That said, if you're on the go, the Noble app has more customization options with their 10-band EQ versus the Bathys' 5-band EQ. For casual use, the Noble also have much better ANC performance and nearly double the battery life. That said, you may run into driver mismatch issues on the Noble, depending on your ANC configuration. While the Noble are likely the better pick for most, due to the audiophile focus of both products, user preference can easily outweigh the aforementioned ANC and battery life.
