Maybe I might step on one or two reviewers’ toes because I sometimes see/hear things differently than they do. My aim ..read more

Dear Friends, I recently acquired the Focal Bathys (the new dune color) headphones and was eager to experience their acclaimed audio quality firsthand. Upon unboxing and connecting them to my iPhone via Bluetooth, I encountered an unexpected issue: sound was only emitted from the left speaker, leaving the right side silent.
