Now, in 2025, Focal has returned with a new wireless flagship: the \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.audioadvice.com\/products\/focal-bathys-mg-wireless-over-ear-active-noise-cancelling-headphones\"\u003eBathys MG\u003c\/a\u003e. These headphones aim to improve on every aspect of the original model, promising better sound, upgraded materials, more refined active noise cancellation, and an even more luxurious feel. Priced at $1,299, the Bathys MG is positioned as a premium addition to the lineup, not a replacement for the original Bathys, which still remains available and continues to be an excellent choice at its price point.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"col_full\"\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"Man wearing a pair of Focal Bathys MG headphones in front of a mirror\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0572\/3281\/8260\/files\/FOCAL-MG-SYLVIE-BESSOU_0113_39f2a403-60b0-45ec-8613-0cf75138ff30.jpg\" style=\"display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; max-width: 100%;\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"col_narrow\"\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"hp-title\"\u003eDesign \u0026amp; Build Quality\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt first glance, the Bathys MG exterior looks extremely similar to the original Bathys. While the overall shape and design language remain similar, the finish and materials tell a different story. The original Bathys incorporated a combination of high-grade plastic and aluminum, but the MG steps things up with a gorgeous Chestnut color scheme paired with magnesium yokes, aluminum grilles, and a genuine leather headband. The result is a headphone that not only feels more premium but also fits more comfortably over long sessions thanks to softer memory foam earpads and a better-distributed clamping force.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"subhead margin\"\u003eWhat “MG” Means\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThat \"MG\" in the name isn’t just a styling choice—it stands for magnesium, and it's one of the key upgrades that sets the Bathys MG apart from the original. Focal fans might recognize the use of magnesium from the acclaimed Clear MG open-back headphones. In the Bathys MG, the new 40mm dynamic drivers feature pure magnesium diaphragms crafted in Focal’s French workshop. Magnesium is lighter and more rigid than the aluminum-magnesium blend used in the original Bathys, which results in better speed, control, and overall precision. That difference may sound subtle on paper, but in practice, it opens up a world of improved dynamics, lower distortion, and more accurate transients. These drivers are capable of revealing layers of detail that most wireless headphones simply can’t touch.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"hp-title\"\u003eSound Quality\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe frequency response has also been extended on the low end, now reaching down to 10Hz compared to the 15Hz limit of the original Bathys. Bass is not only deeper but also tighter and more dynamic. Genres like hip-hop, electronic, and cinematic soundtracks benefit greatly from the improved sub-bass presence. Yet despite this enhanced low-end energy, the overall tonal balance remains consistent with Focal’s house sound: lively and engaging, with sparkling highs and well-defined mids.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOne of the most impressive aspects of the Bathys MG is that this sound quality remains consistent across all modes. Whether you're using Bluetooth, analog input, or the USB-DAC mode, the tuning doesn’t change. Even with ANC on or off, the frequency response remains stable. That’s a big deal, because many ANC headphones suffer from tonal shifts when noise cancelling is enabled. Focal has managed to avoid that by carefully compensating for any impedance or feedback changes with digital signal processing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe soundstage has also seen noticeable improvements. For a closed-back design, the Bathys MG offers an impressive sense of space. Instruments feel more layered and easier to separate, with vocals remaining locked in place while ambient effects and background elements spread out convincingly to the sides. Compared to the original Bathys, the MG feels more immersive, placing you closer to the performance rather than observing from a distance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"col_full\"\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"Hand holding Focal Bathys MG headphones against a grey background\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0572\/3281\/8260\/files\/FOCAL-MG-SYLVIE-BESSOU_0970_e1fe4581-7182-4155-93b2-d0b23cfdbf9b.jpg\" style=\"display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; max-width: 100%;\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"col_narrow\"\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"subhead margin\"\u003eActive Noise Cancellation \u0026amp; Call Quality\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAll this audio performance wouldn’t mean much without solid noise cancellation. Here, too, the Bathys MG delivers. It retains the original three ANC modes: Silent, Soft, and Transparent. Silent is designed for loud environments like airplanes or trains, Soft is meant for quieter spaces like offices or cafes, and Transparent lets you hear your surroundings clearly without taking the headphones off. What’s new is the improved microphone array and updated ANC processing. The digital microphones in the MG do a noticeably better job of cutting out midrange noise, like human voices or inconsistent background chatter. That’s something the original Bathys didn’t handle quite as well.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCall quality has also been improved. The Bathys MG uses dual beamforming microphones with noise suppression to isolate your voice from ambient sounds. Whether you're on a work call or chatting with a friend in a noisy environment, your voice comes through clearly and naturally. Voice assistant integration is smooth and flexible, supporting Google Assistant, Alexa, and Siri, depending on your device and preference.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"hp-title\"\u003eBattery Life \u0026amp; Charging\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBattery life holds steady at 30 hours with ANC and Bluetooth enabled, 35 hours when using the 3.5mm analog input, and up to 42 hours in USB-DAC mode. That’s more than enough for long trips or days of work without charging. And if you do need a quick top-off, a 15-minute fast charge gives you about five hours of listening time. The headphones charge via USB-C and support simultaneous playback and charging when using DAC mode, which is helpful when traveling or working.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOne important note: even in analog (3.5mm) mode, the headphones still require power. There is no fully passive listening mode on the Bathys MG—they must be powered on for any audio to play.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"hp-title\"\u003eControls \u0026amp; Usability\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eControls on the Bathys MG are entirely physical, with no touch-sensitive surfaces. That may sound old-school in a world of swipe gestures, but it actually makes for a much more reliable and tactile user experience. On the right earcup, you'll find a multi-function button for playback control and call handling, volume up and down buttons, and a three-position switch to toggle between Bluetooth, DAC, and analog modes. There's also a dedicated button on the left earcup to activate your chosen voice assistant. Everything is easy to locate by feel and provides a satisfying click.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOne small but meaningful improvement over the original Bathys is in the volume adjustment. Focal has fine-tuned the steps between volume levels on the MG, giving users more granular control. On the original, volume jumps felt a bit too large, which made it tricky to find the perfect listening level. With the MG, volume adjusts in smaller increments, which may seem minor but actually adds up to a smoother and more precise listening experience.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"col_half\"\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"Focal Bathys MG Headphones\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0572\/3281\/8260\/files\/SOCIALS-_13.jpg\" style=\"display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; max-width: 100%;\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"col_half col_last\"\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"Detailed view of controls on Focal Bathys MG\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0572\/3281\/8260\/files\/SOCIALS-_14.jpg\" style=\"display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; max-width: 100%;\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"col_narrow\"\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"subhead margin\"\u003eFocal \u0026amp; Naim App Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Bathys MG also pairs with the Focal \u0026amp; Naim app, which unlocks additional functionality. From the app, you can switch between ANC modes, view exact battery percentage, adjust the logo backlight brightness, and customize the sound with a five-band EQ. There are also a couple of sound profile presets, including a \"Dynamic\" mode that offers a more neutral tuning closer to a reference target. The app even includes a built-in hearing test powered by Mimi, allowing you to tailor the sound to your own hearing profile.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOne thing worth noting is codec support. The Bathys MG supports SBC, AAC, aptX, and aptX Adaptive—but \u003cstrong\u003enot LDAC\u003c\/strong\u003e. That may be a consideration if you prioritize high-res Bluetooth streaming. However, for most people using aptX Adaptive with a modern Android device, the performance will still be excellent.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"hp-title\"\u003eComfort \u0026amp; Fit\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDespite their size and weight (350g), the Bathys MG headphones feel surprisingly comfortable over long periods. The memory foam pads conform to your head and ears without creating pressure points, and the genuine leather headband adds a touch of luxury while helping to distribute weight evenly. Glasses-wearers will also appreciate the softer, more forgiving pads that maintain a good seal without extra pressure on the temples.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"col_full\"\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"Man wearing Focal Bathys MG headphones with a city backdrop\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0572\/3281\/8260\/files\/FOCAL-MG-SYLVIE-BESSOU_1379_db598afa-ee91-4a3a-937a-5efd42eae4d2.jpg\" style=\"display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; max-width: 100%;\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"col_narrow\"\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"subhead margin\"\u003eComparing to the Original Bathys\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCompared to the original Bathys, the MG version represents a significant leap forward in several key areas. The new magnesium drivers provide more clarity, more impactful bass, and a wider soundstage. The updated ANC system cancels out more noise, particularly in the midrange. The upgraded build quality gives the MG a more refined, premium feel, and small usability improvements like better volume step control and refined app integration make day-to-day use more pleasant.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThat said, the Bathys MG is not without its caveats. At $1,299, it costs nearly twice as much as the original Bathys, which still holds up as one of the best-sounding wireless headphones in its price range. If you're more budget-conscious or you just want something that sounds great, feels good to wear, and still cancels out noise well enough for most situations, the original Bathys remains a fantastic option. It’s the kind of headphone that we still recommend all the time here at Audio Advice because it hits that sweet spot of performance, design, and value. For many people, it’s everything they need in a high-end wireless headphone, but for those who want to squeeze out every last drop of performance, enjoy more luxurious materials, and push closer to true audiophile sound in a wireless format, the MG version delivers on that next-level experience.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"hp-title\"\u003eFinal Thoughts\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you want to learn more about the original, we have a full written and video review of the Focal Bathys you can check out as well.

This alloy provides a rejuvenated sound signature, that lends even greater neutrality, with powerful bass and more mellow treble. What’s more, the grilles inside the earcups are now M-shaped, following the curves of the speaker drivers, to give improved linearity and even more precision. In addition to these innovations, the new Utopia headphones still include everything that made the first editions such a success, such as full-range speaker drivers with pure Beryllium, ‘M’-shaped dome, and being fully open-backed for strikingly real listening full of neutrality, dynamics, and transparency. Exclusive to Focal, the patented speaker drivers run with zero active or passive correction, from 5Hz to over 50 kHz.

And finally, exceptional headphones merit top of the range accessories: Utopia comes in faux-leather packaging with a black fabric thermoformed carrying case and two high-fidelity cables (10ft and 5ft \/ 3m and 1.5m) for using the headphones at home with an amplifier or on the go with Lemo® connectors and a Jack adapter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"subhead margin\"\u003eUTOPIA and UNITI ATOM HEADPHONE EDITION\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFocal and Naim – the English brand united with Focal as part of the Vervent Audio Group – provide genuine audio solutions.

If you follow the audio industry, Focal is probably familiar to you. It may have been in a recording studio, listening to a great live concert, experiencing a high-performance car audio system, or seeing some of their $100,000+ home speakers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAbout a year ago, they rocked the ultra-high-end headphone world with the introduction of the \u003cstrong\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/focal-utopia-over-ear-headphones.html\"\u003e$4,000 Utopia\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e.

The Utopia is possibly the best headphone we have ever heard, so we were excited to hear this new version of their home theater system, the Focal Sib Evo.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/focal-sib-evo-dolby-atmos-enabled-5-1-2-home-cinema-system.html\"\u003eFocal Sib Evo Dolby Atmos 5.1.2\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e is a complete home theater speaker package. It arrives in a 58lb. box, so we suggest you lift with your knees! \u003cstrong\u003eInside you’ll find a well-made powered subwoofer, three small speakers, and 2 larger speakers.\u003c\/strong\u003e All five have tabletop stands, plus you get two wall mounts as well.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhat’s really unique about the Focal Sib Evo is that it comes with all of the speakers you need to have \u003ca href=\"\/content\/home-theater\/dolby-atmos\/\"\u003eDolby Atmos\u003c\/a\u003e at home, in an all-in-one package. All you need is a Dolby Atmos-enabled \u003cstrong\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/home-theater\/home-theater-receivers.html\"\u003ehome theater receiver\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e and some great Dolby Atmos movies!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"hp-title\"\u003eDesign \u0026amp; Build Quality\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCombination systems like the Focal Sib Evo have been around for a long time. They typically include small speakers and a subwoofer. Done properly, this type of design has some inherent advantages.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe human voice falls right in the critical midrange area of the acoustic range. By designing a small speaker that does not need to worry about producing deep bass, the engineer can focus on getting the important range of the music right. A well-designed sub can then take over to fill in the lower frequencies. The engineers know which speakers will be dedicated to which frequencies, and can design them to work perfectly with one another.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe real trick is coupling the satellites with a \u003cstrong\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.audioadvice.com\/home-audio\/speakers\/subwoofers.html\"\u003esubwoofer\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e that is fast enough to keep up with them without just being a boomy, noisy box. That boomy bass will cover up all the midrange goodness, defeating the whole purpose.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA good sat\/sub system also offers the ability to place the smaller satellite speakers in the best spot in your room for great stereo imaging and put the sub in a place that couples best to your room for full and even bass response.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMost French audio products have a pretty cool look about them, and the Sib Evo is no exception. The five speakers are in a curvy ABS plastic housing. They will never be accused of having a basic, boxy look! Fit and finish are excellent. The speakers use a push connection for the speaker cable and will accept up to a 12 gauge speaker wire. All 5 also come with a neat little base for table use and included in the box are two wall mounts, which will probably come in handy for the rears. There is also an optional floor stand available for them.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe left and right larger speakers have two sets of connections on the rear, one pair for the main, and another on top of those for the Atmos speaker. One of our few complaints was the push connection widgets. It takes a little fiddling with them to get the speaker wire to go in all the way, and once you have it in, getting it out again is a bit of a challenge. For most people, getting the speaker wire in will be a one-time thing, so we felt this was not a deal-breaker.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"hp-title\"\u003eFeatures \u0026amp; Technology\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe five satellites each have a 5” Polyflex woofer and a ¾” soft dome tweeter. You will notice the main left and right satellites are larger than the other three. This is the cool part! These guys also have a 4” full-range Dolby Atmos speaker in the top of the cabinet that fires up at an angle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Cub subwoofer included in the package is almost a perfect 12” cube. It has an 8” Polyflex driver connected up to a 200-watt class D amplifier. The driver is downward firing with a front-firing port. Connections on the rear include a right and left input; the left is used for LFE (low-frequency extension channel). There is a level and crossover control, along with a phase switch. If you had to put the sub behind you, you’ll want to flip the phase switch to 180. The sub box itself is made out of a pretty dense MDF material and has a really solid feel to it with virtually no resonance. You’ll also notice that the feet for the sub are very large and designed to reduce vibrations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDolby Atmos came out about two years ago and we think it is the biggest improvement in surround sound we have heard since the introduction of Dolby Digital almost 20 years ago. Dolby Atmos is an \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.audioadvice.com\/videos-reviews\/the-evolution-of-surround-sound-technology\/\"\u003eobject-based surround format\u003c\/a\u003e where the audio engineer doing the movie soundtrack has the ability to place sounds in a three-dimensional space. The idea is to use surround speakers at ear level in addition to either in-ceiling Atmos speakers or speakers that reflect off the ceiling as the Sib system uses. The Atmos speakers in the larger left and right satellite cabinets are angled to bounce the sound off the ceiling so it will appear to be coming from right above you. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBy now you may have figured out what the 5.1.2 means. In the new lingo of Dolby Atmos, this means you have five main speakers, one subwoofer, and two Atmos speakers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"hp-title\"\u003ePerformance\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe set up the Focal Sib 5.1.2 with one of the \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.audioadvice.com\/videos-reviews\/sony-es-receiver-lineup-comparison\/\"\u003enew Sony ES receivers\u003c\/a\u003e to test it out. These are a great value, like the Focal system, and we suspect this will be a popular combination. Any Dolby Atmos-certified receiver will have a section in the setup in which you tell the system what kind of Atmos speakers you are using. When setting up the Focal system, make sure you specify that you are using upward-firing Atmos speakers in the front.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe set the crossover points for the satellites at 80 Hz and then put on some tunes to get the front speakers positioned best. Like most satellite\/sub systems, we found you want them in a rough 2:3 ratio. This means that if they are two feet apart, you sit three feet from them. In most rooms, this will probably work out to about a 6-foot spread sitting about 9 feet away from them. We then played a few different cuts with deep bass to get bass levels set properly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBeing the two-channel audio geeks that we are, we first had to determine how this system performed with just music in a two-channel stereo. Our music tests used a \u003cstrong\u003eNAD CD player\u003c\/strong\u003e going analog into the \u003cstrong\u003eSony receiver \u003c\/strong\u003e-- very impressive! The speakers are very clean sounding with no trace of harshness. If you dial in the satellite position, you can get a great 3-dimensional image with the main vocals floating dead center in front of you. Probably the most impressive part is how well the subwoofer blends with the satellites. It took a little fiddling with its position and output level, but once we had it set the way we wanted, the bass was quite seamless to the satellites. While it does not go as deep as a more expensive subwoofer, its response is excellent for its size. We just found music was a lot of fun to listen to using this setup.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMoving onto the \u003cstrong\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/home-theater.html\"\u003ehome theater\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e performance, we tried some cuts with challenging dialog. One of our favorite movies for this is \u003ci\u003eValkerie\u003c\/i\u003e because there are a lot of accented, deep voices in the soundtrack. If your center channel is weak, you’ll really notice it on some of the scenes. The Sib system did very well in this regard -- the dialog was crystal clear, allowing the actors' emotions to come through.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYou’ll get the best results if you set the surrounds up just a little above ear level when you are seated, and about 12-18” behind your head, aimed at your listening area. If you have a flat ceiling that is 10’ or under, the upward-firing Atmos speaker does a pretty impressive job too. The cool thing about the base that comes with the main fronts is the way you can adjust the tilt on it +\/- about 5 degrees so you can “tune” the way Atmos feeds bounces off the ceiling and arrives at your listening spot. Overall, we still prefer actual Atmos in-ceiling speakers for the best effect, but for the money, this system works really well!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Focal Sib 5.1.2 might be one of the best values we have ever seen in \u003cstrong\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/home-theater.html\"\u003ehome theater\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e.

It wasn’t just another wireless active speaker. It was a genuine alternative to a separate component system, with Naim electronics, Focal’s best drivers, and engineering that considered how people actually live with their systems, making setup and daily use simple. We have a full, in-depth video on the Diva Utopia that covers every detail of its design, features, and performance for those who want to learn more.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \n\u003cp\u003eIn this article, we’re going to take a look at the new Diva Mezza Utopia, which takes that same vision and expands it in scale, capability, and room-filling authority. It is larger, more powerful, and built for listeners who want the same refinement as the Diva Utopia but in a form that can energize very large rooms with deeper bass and more headroom. The Mezza made its first public debut at Audio Advice Live 2025, where it drew crowds and left everyone impressed by both its capabilities and the incredible sound it delivered. Coming in at around $70,000 a pair, these are some of the most expensive active wireless speakers we have ever heard of. When you dig a little deeper, you will see why we think they combine the precision and quality of a true flagship hi-fi system with the simplicity of an all-in-one product, making them unlike anything else on the market today.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"col_full\"\u003e\u003cimg style=\"display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; max-width: 100%;\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0572\/3281\/8260\/files\/Diva_Mezza_Utopia_Couple.jpg\" alt=\"Focal Diva Mezze Utopia speaker pair\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"col_narrow\"\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"hp-title\"\u003eDesign \u0026amp; Build Quality\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen it comes to the design, build quality, and aesthetics of a speaker, Focal never lets us down. At a quick glance, the Mezza looks nearly identical to its little sibling, the Diva Utopia. However, the proportions are larger than the Diva Utopia in every dimension, increasing internal volume for the bigger low-frequency drivers. It still keeps the same flowing curves and modern silhouette, with a cabinet made from high-density molded polymer. Inside, heavy bracing and optimized geometry is used to keep vibrations to a minimum, allowing the drivers to work without interference. The base is crafted from injected aluminum and also integrates the downward facing port used for the low end.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \n\u003cp\u003eWeighing in at nearly 200 pounds per speaker, everything on these feels substantial and built extremely well. And whether you’re setting these up yourself or having our team here at Audio Advice do it for you, we love that Focal has shipped each speaker with preinstalled rolling castors on the base, so once you have them unboxed, you can easily move them in your room. As you likely know, speaker placement, especially when it comes to speakers of this quality, is extremely important. We have in-depth articles and videos that go over how to place your speakers in your room and it can involve a lot of trial and error and moving your speakers around. Having to move speakers on spikes and rock them back and forth and measure them from the wall can be a real headache sometimes. These castors make it so simple to move speakers of this weight. And once you have them in the spot you like, you can mark it with some tape and swap the casters for the included spikes to anchor them in place.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOf course, we need to also discuss the exterior of these speakers, as they certainly aren’t what you see every day. The side panels are covered in an OEKO-TEX certified felt in a light ivory finish. For some, this might be an acquired taste, and it can certainly be difficult to translate how they look through a video or pictures. But we will say that these certainly push the design to make it stand out among traditional-looking speakers, and our team absolutely loves the ivory finish on them that adds just a subtle warmth and glow to the speaker's presence in a room. Now, these panels are removable if you decide you want to change to an alternative lacquer finish of Brilliant Black, Off-White, or Dune, and they can be paired with the felt side panels, so you’re not stuck with one color or even felt material, and can find one that matches your room the best. Heck, you could change the panels every day depending on the weather or even your mood if you so feel like it!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"col_full\"\u003e\u003cimg style=\"display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; max-width: 100%;\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0572\/3281\/8260\/files\/FOCAL-MEZZA-06.jpg\" alt=\"Close up view of the outside of a Focal Diva Mezza Utopia speaker\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"col_narrow\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThere are also a few other details here that stood out to us that really put this design over the top. Focal included a brushed aluminum ring surrounding the tweeter, which they refer to as the “signature watch” in their entire Utopia line, signaling its high end status. The tweeter grille is black, but when you look closer, the edges of the grille are actually red, giving it a really cool look as you get closer to the speaker. And at the bottom, there is a glowing Focal logo that is adjustable via the app. Overall, these speakers have a very unique and modern look with an extremely high build quality.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 class=\"hp-title\"\u003eDrivers \u0026amp; Acoustic Design\u003c\/h3\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eOf course, design is not the only thing special about the Mezza speakers. Their driver array follows the same proven layout as the Diva Utopia, but with a significantly more capable bass section. At the top is a 27 millimeter pure beryllium M-profile inverted dome tweeter in an infinite acoustic loading chamber. This proven design from Focal delivers outstanding high-frequency detail while controlling the pressure behind the dome for cleaner and more extended treble. The unique M-profile shape lowers directivity, which allows for a wider and more flexible listening position, while also increasing dome rigidity to further reduce distortion. A larger 25 millimeter voice coil ensures excellent power handling, letting the tweeter maintain its composure even at high output levels.\u003c\/p\u003e \n    \n    \u003cp\u003eThe midrange is a six and a half inch W-sandwich cone with a Tuned Mass Damper surround and a Neutral Inductance Circuit motor, a combination that gives the midband a truly natural, uncolored character with excellent detail retrieval. The W-sandwich cone is one of Focal’s signature innovations, made from two layers of finely woven glass fiber bonded to a structural foam core. This construction allows complete control over three critical parameters for a loudspeaker diaphragm: lightness, rigidity, and damping. By varying the thickness of the foam and the number of glass layers, Focal can tailor the cone’s behavior to the exact frequency range it needs to reproduce.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"col_narrow\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"col_half\"\u003e\u003cimg style=\"display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; max-width: 100%;\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0572\/3281\/8260\/files\/tbm_aa50ca2a-23cf-4c6d-9d73-ee243aa6c7e0.jpg\" alt=\"Focal M profile Béryllium Tweeter\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"col_half col_last\"\u003e\u003cimg style=\"display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; max-width: 100%;\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0572\/3281\/8260\/files\/membrane-w.jpg\" alt=\"Focal W membrane\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"col_narrow\"\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003eThe Tuned Mass Damper (TMD) surround adds another layer of refinement. This patented design uses small, precisely positioned toroidal weights to stabilize the surround, eliminating unwanted vibrations and irregularities between 1 kHz and 2 kHz. By controlling this behavior, TMD ensures greater sonic neutrality, allowing vocals and acoustic instruments to sound exceptionally clean and lifelike. The result is total sonic transparency, extremely low distortion, and midrange performance that integrates seamlessly with both the tweeter and the bass drivers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"col_narrow\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"col_full\"\u003e\u003cimg style=\"display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; max-width: 100%;\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0572\/3281\/8260\/files\/suspension-tmd.jpg\" alt=\"Focal Tuned Mass Damper\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"col_narrow\"\u003e \n\u003cp\u003eWhile this all may seem super technical, you can rest assured knowing that Focal has pushed the boundaries of what these drivers are capable of. If you’ve never heard of their beryllium tweeters or W-sandwich cone midrange drivers in their other models, they are some of the most beloved on the market today.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \n\u003cp\u003eNow, the really big change in the Mezza is the bass. Instead of four 6.5-inch woofers in the Diva Utopia, the Diva Mezza Utopia steps up to four 8-inch W-sandwich cone woofers, two on each side of the cabinet in a push-push configuration. This arrangement cancels out opposing forces, keeping the cabinet stable even during powerful, bass-heavy songs or movies. The larger cone area and increased motor strength allow the Mezza to move even more air with less effort, delivering bass that can extend to 22 Hz! This entire bass system vents through the base, which also helps make it easier to place these in your room with more flexibility compared to speakers that are vented in the rear.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \n\u003ch3 class=\"hp-title\"\u003eElectronics \u0026amp; Amplification\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOkay, so here’s the really cool part about these speakers. They’re fully active! Yes, you don’t need an amplifier for either of the Diva Utopia or Mezza models. That pretty much goes against traditional thinking, where if you want to get the best of the best, you should get separate components to build the best system you can. However, Focal tips this idea on its head with these speakers and utilizes its sister brand Naim, which creates some of the best amplification products in the world, to fit amplifiers that were designed specifically for these speakers and put them right inside.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \n\u003cp\u003eThis Naim-designed electronics package is a complete signal chain, including the streamer, preamp, DAC, DSP, and four Class AB amplifier channels per tower, all engineered to work perfectly together inside the Mezza. There are no separate boxes or cables that need to be set up besides plugging in each speaker to an outlet, and you’re ready to go. If you want to step up the resolution, you can use their included cable to connect the two speakers and go from 24bit\/96kHz to 24bit\/192kHz, which we recommend doing if your room allows.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \n\u003cp\u003eInside the Mezza, each driver gets its own dedicated Naim Class AB amplifier channel. The four 8-inch woofers share 280 watts, the midrange gets 130 watts, and the tweeter receives 90 watts, for a total of 500 watts per speaker of power! This is up from 400 watts from its younger sibling. Both also include a dual power supply to ensure dynamic stability and consistent control, even during demanding peaks. The crossover is also handled digitally, using Naim’s high-quality DSP to manage timing, phase, and frequency division with great precision.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 class=\"hp-title\"\u003eConnectivity \u0026amp; Streaming\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLet’s next discuss how to get sound to play on these speakers. One speaker will have just a port for power, while the other houses all the inputs and outputs. You can change whether you want this to be the left or right speaker in the app. There is every connection option you would expect. HDMI eARC allows direct integration with a TV to bring your movies to another level. There are optical and analog RCA inputs, a USB-A port for local files, Ethernet for wired networking, and Wi-Fi 6 for high-speed wireless streaming. Bluetooth with aptX Adaptive is on board for quick pairing from mobile devices, too.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \n\u003cp\u003eTo us, the best part is its wireless capability. As soon as you unbox these and get them set up, you can immediately start playing hi-res music right from your phone. The Mezza supports a long list of streaming options, including AirPlay 2, Chromecast, Spotify Connect, TIDAL, TIDAL Connect, Qobuz, Qobuz Connect, UPnP for local network playback, Internet Radio, Google Home, HomeKit, and QQ Music. This wide compatibility means you can use virtually any service or device without workarounds.\u003c\/p\u003e \n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"col_full\"\u003e\u003cimg style=\"display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; max-width: 100%;\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0572\/3281\/8260\/files\/connections_screenshot.jpg\" alt=\"Illustration of connections options for Focal Diva Mezza Utopia speakers\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"col_narrow\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eControl is handled through the Focal and Naim app, available on both the App Store and Google Play. From here, you can access your streaming services, podcasts, and local content, as well as adjust system settings and run room optimization. The Mezza also integrates seamlessly into the Focal and Naim multiroom ecosystem, making it easy to pair with other compatible products throughout the home.\u003c\/p\u003e \n    \n\u003cp\u003eThe app is also just super easy to use. You might think that for a pair of $70,000 speakers that you’d be setting them up for days and need an industry professional to help you. Focal couldn’t have made that further from the truth. Setup is quick and logical. Each speaker is plugged into power, linked wirelessly or via the Hi-Res cable, connected to the network, and calibrated with ADAPT. From there, you are ready to start listening. While these speakers have some of the most advanced technology behind them, they’ve made it so that literally anyone can operate them and get incredible performance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \n\u003ch3 class=\"hp-title\"\u003eRoom Optimization \u0026amp; Setup\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNext, let’s discuss the last piece of the puzzle when it comes to these Mezza speakers: room correction. At Audio Advice, we are huge fans of room correction, as it can greatly improve the sound you get from your gear. However, it’s not a magical fix, and typically, having the right speaker placement and acoustically treating your room are just as important. But with good room correction technology, you can take a good-sounding room to a great-sounding room.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \n\u003cp\u003eFocal’s ADAPT system (Adaptive Acoustic Personal Tuning) is their version of room correction, and it’s built right into the app. This patented technology uses a series of sound tests to measure the speakers in your space, taking into account placement, boundaries, and the unique acoustic signature of the room. The system then applies precise adjustments to deliver a balanced, natural response while preserving the speaker’s inherent character. You can also make small personal preference tweaks to suit your taste. We found it to work incredibly well in every room we tested it in, and if you have these speakers, we highly recommend using this feature to get the most out of them.\u003c\/p\u003e    \n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"col_full\"\u003e\u003cimg style=\"display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; max-width: 100%;\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0572\/3281\/8260\/files\/Diva_Mezza_Utopia_Couple1.jpg\" alt=\"Focal Diva Mezze Utopia speaker pair\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"col_narrow\"\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"hp-title\"\u003ePerformance\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFinally, how do they sound? In a word: breathtaking. And if you don’t believe us, stop by our Raleigh showroom and listen to them for yourself. We have one of the only pairs in the US right now, as of August 2025, and we promise you will be blown away. We even have the Diva Utopias right next to them, so you can compare them side by side.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \n \u003cp\u003eFrom the first track, the Mezza makes its scale and authority clear. Bass reaches well into the lowest octave, giving music and film soundtracks a foundation that feels physical without becoming overbearing. The midrange retains the same openness and tonal accuracy as the Diva Utopia, letting vocals and acoustic instruments sound lifelike and three-dimensional. High frequencies from the beryllium tweeter are extended and airy yet smooth, and the M-profile dome design maintains imaging precision even when you are not seated directly in the sweet spot. The soundstage is broad and layered, with seamless integration between drivers. At low listening levels, the Mezza maintains detail and balance, while at high output, it remains composed and free from strain. In a large room, it can fill the space effortlessly, making it a strong choice for anyone with a listening area up to 1,000 square feet!\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \n\u003ch3 class=\"hp-title\"\u003eDiva Mezza Utopia vs Diva Utopia\u003c\/h3\u003e    \n\u003cp\u003eBoth models share the same design philosophy, but they are aimed at different needs.

This allows what used to be a full-sized component to fit into a much smaller enclosure.

Making drivers out of Polyglass or Polykevlar was new at the time and caught the eye of many speaker companies. In fact, many of these companies ended up purchasing drivers from Focal to use in their own designs. When others are relying on using your driver technology, you know you are doing something right!\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \n    \u003cp\u003eAs Focal gained recognition in the French speaker market and beyond, they introduced their flagship speaker, the \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/@audio_advice\/video\/7264164112253488430\"\u003eGrande Utopia\u003c\/a\u003e, in 1995. With its bold, eye-catching design and innovative engineering, the Grande Utopia became an instant icon, solidifying Focal's reputation as a leader in the high-end audio world.

While they're best known for their high-performance audio equipment, this time, the goal was simplicity. They wanted to give people the immersive, high-fidelity sound Focal is famous for, without the need for external amplifiers, bulky gear, or a tangle of cables. The result is a true plug-and-play solution, making it easier than ever to enjoy world-class sound without the usual complexity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \n    \u003cp\u003eTo make this a reality, the speaker design is equally as important as the electronics that power it all. This is where Naim Audio comes in. Over the last 5 decades, Naim has also built a strong reputation for their innovative approach to power supply design, modular construction, and meticulous component selection. Their attention to detail results in an exceptionally lifelike, dynamic sound that has earned Naim a devoted following among audiophiles.\u003c\/p\u003e \n    \n    \u003cp\u003eThis pairing of British engineering expertise from Naim Audio and French acoustic artistry from Focal is a natural match that brings the Diva Utopias to life with stunning realism. The system synergy between these two brands is no coincidence. It's the result of decades of innovation and a shared philosophy of musical purity.

It takes inspiration from the flagship Focal Utopia speakers, but it also has its own unique style. Focal spent five years of focused research and development getting the Diva Utopia ready for the spotlight. They wanted it to feel like a true Focal product while standing apart from the rest of the lineup. This is their first high-end, all-in-one speaker system, so it needed a look that matched its groundbreaking performance. And they absolutely nailed it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \n    \u003cp\u003eThe high-density molded polymer enclosure has structural reinforcement optimized using finite element analysis to keep resonance or vibration from ever being an issue. Over the top of this polymer enclosure are grey felt side panels that give the speaker a modern and distinctive look. But these panels aren't just for style. They also help reduce the environmental impact of production, which is a smart, responsible choice in today’s world.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \n    \u003cp\u003eThe side panels also create the overall shape of the enclosure, which has been optimized with rounded corners and flowing lines to allow sound to radiate without the enclosure itself causing disturbances in the sound. Plus, the felt itself is OEKO-TEX®-certified, so you can feel comfortable knowing they are free of any harmful substances and durable enough to last many, many years.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \n    \u003cp\u003eIf you don’t love the grey color of these side panels, Focal will be releasing new panels that you can easily change out. There will be three lacquer finishes and two wood finishes coming out in 2025. All of these new panels will not change the sound signature.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe base is made of injected aluminum and houses the port venting for the four woofers. It is a good-looking base with enough weight to keep the Diva Utopia grounded. But one of the stand-out features we all loved is that the Diva Utopia comes with rolling casters preinstalled from the factory. It can be a big pain for anyone who has tried to move a large high-end speaker on spikes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \n\u003cp\u003eNot only can the speaker fall over if tilted, but the overall weight and awkwardness of moving speakers like these that weigh 141 lbs a piece can be taxing. Having these castors is excellent; we could even see some people leaving them on for convenience over the spikes in the box. This made our testing even easier by allowing us to move the speakers to different rooms within our showroom at will without hassles. Knowing that the Diva Utopia might be used where complete component systems just won’t work due to limited space or other factors, the castors are an excellent decision. We know this may be a small detail to some, but it just goes to show the attention that Focal put into every aspect of this speaker.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \n\u003cp\u003eThe Diva Utopias are about 48” high, 16.5” wide, and 22” deep, weighing 141 lbs each, so this does mean that these speakers are heavy enough to require help when lifting. But this is no surprise as these are reference class speakers that can fill large rooms. If you plan to keep the speakers in their originally installed spot in your house, then we’d recommend using the castors to easily adjust and move them and follow our speaker placement guides to find the best location, mark that spot, and then use the spikes they provide. But if you plan to use the Diva Utopias in environments where you want to move them occasionally, then keeping them on the castors might be a great idea for you.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \n\u003ch2 class=\"subhead margin\"\u003eGreat Ingredients Make Great Meals\u003c\/h2\u003e   \n\u003cp\u003eAnyone who cooks knows that the better the ingredients, the better the food. Focal used this same thinking process when designing the Diva Utopia. They wanted to marry their best driver technology with the best electronics available to create something truly special. They started with the IAL2 1 5\/8\" (27mm) pure beryllium ‘M’-shaped inverted dome tweeter housed in an infinite acoustic loading enclosure that minimizes resonance while controlling the acoustic pressure behind the dome. This tweeter uses a design and materials similar to the flagship Grande Utopia EM Evo tweeter. But this tweeter is a special “M” shaped dome version designed for the Diva Utopia. This unique shape allows lower sound directivity, allowing a wider sweet spot. So whether you're sitting front and center or off to the side, you’ll still enjoy balanced sound and clear imaging. Plus, everyone knows how good beryllium is for detail retrieval and rigidity in a tweeter, and it is even more rigid with Focal’s “M” shape dome.\u003c\/p\u003e \n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"col_half\"\u003e\u003cimg style=\"display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; max-width: 100%;\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0572\/3281\/8260\/files\/tbm.jpg\" alt=\"Focal tweeter\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"col_half col_last\"\u003e\u003cimg style=\"display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; max-width: 100%;\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0572\/3281\/8260\/files\/focus-produit.jpg\" alt=\"Focal Diva Utopia tweet detail view\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"col_narrow\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor the midrange, Focal uses a ‘W’ 61\/2\" (16.5cm) midrange driver with TMD surround and NIC motor. This W cone driver comes directly from the work done while developing the flagship Utopia series speakers and features a unique surround to improve midrange performance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \n\u003cp\u003eCalled the TMD (Tuned Mass Damper), the surround has precisely placed toroidal weights around the surround, enhancing the midrange and avoiding erratic behavior between 1kHz and 2kHz. Everyone who has heard the Flagship Utopia knows how well the W cone midrange driver and Beryllium tweeters sound together, and the Diva Utopia continues this trend.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \n\u003cp\u003eFor the low end, there are four ‘W’ 61\/2\" (16.5cm) woofers, two on each side of the cabinet. Focal wanted to ensure that the Diva Utopia could provide full-range sound even in larger rooms, so they went with four drivers, and we think this was a great choice. This allows each driver to share the load, which lowers distortions. These woofers are installed in a bass reflex-loaded enclosure that is ported out of the bottom of the base. This allows a very competent frequency response from 27Hz - 40kHz! This is excellent and some of the best we’ve seen for a powered speaker system.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \n\u003ch2 class=\"subhead margin\"\u003eGood Drivers Need Good Electronics\u003c\/h2\u003e\n    \n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.audioadvice.com\/collections\/focal\"\u003eFocal\u003c\/a\u003e and \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.audioadvice.com\/collections\/naim\"\u003eNaim Audio\u003c\/a\u003e have been under the same company envelope for over 10 years, which has proven very beneficial in product development. When Focal was designing the Diva Utopia, they knew they wanted electronics to keep up with the rest of the design. The average class D modules and input boards wouldn’t cut it, so they went to their partner Naim for their expertise in audio electronics. And Naim took this opportunity to show what they could do. They sourced the multiple amplifiers from the Naim Classic Line, which has a reputation for easily powering hard-to-drive speakers that are rated well above the power output of the Naim. This means that each driver in the Diva Utopia will receive more than enough high current power to fill even large rooms. For the first time, you don’t have to pay the price for all-in-one convenience with underperforming built-in amplification.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \n\u003cp\u003eThe amplifiers in the Diva Utopia are first-rate and highly reviewed in their standalone versions. The tweeters and midrange drivers get 75-watt amplifiers each, and the bass section of each speaker gets 250 watts. That's 400 watts of Class AB Naim high current power per speaker in total! That is more than enough power for about any room of any size in your home. Naim also programs the ability to monitor the amplifiers and speaker drivers for any signs of distress or distortion and will throttle back power when it senses anything that could cause distortion or damage to the amplifiers or speaker drivers.\u003c\/p\u003e   \n\n\u003cp\u003eNaim was again called on to provide expertise for processing, digital and analog inputs, and power supply. The input board with processing is mounted right below the amplifier board on the speaker's rear. All processing is done via a Shark DSP processor, like in Naim’s separate components, but it runs at 64 bits vs. 32 bits in the Diva Utopia for the first time. Just like computers, the higher bits allow faster processing and more capability. And just like Naim’s digital components, they rely on Burr Brown DACs in the Diva Utopia to bring a detailed but musically enjoyable sound.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \n\u003cp\u003eBurr Brown DACs are renowned for their musical and engaging sound when implemented well. The Shark DSP processes the incoming audio signal, divides it into the correct driver section, and then sends it to separate DAC chips for treble, midrange, and bass sections. While most companies prioritize inexpensive and easy-to-design internals, Focal and Naim chose the design that offered the best sound possible.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThere have been debates for years on the merits of active crossovers and their benefits. With active crossovers, the signal is separated to each driver section before amplification occurs. This allows better control, as the active electronics will enable you to more easily choose crossover points, slopes, and gain almost on the fly. This is compared to passive crossovers, which only change when the components are changed and cannot be changed on the fly. The downside to an active crossover is that you need separate amplifier sections for each driver. While this used to be more of an issue, with today's ever-shrinking amplifiers it's no longer much of a problem. Also, some say that electronic or digital crossovers can alter the signal or add unwanted distortion. But we can assure you that with today’s digital technology, the active crossover in the Diva Utopia is top-quality and allows each section to receive the cleanest signal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eDSP-based crossovers offer control and adjustability that passive crossovers just can’t do. And with better processors and DAC technology, you don’t pay for this adjustability in a harsh or grainy digital sound. The Diva Utopia has some of the best DSP available today so your sound will be smooth and digital glare-free! This Shark\/Burr Brown combination allows all of your favorite music to be processed at its native resolution. Supported formats are listed below.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAudio Formats Supported:\n  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWAV, FLAC and AIFF – up to 24bits\/384kHz\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eALAC (Apple Lossless Audio Codec) – up to 24bits\/384kHz\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMP3 – up to 48kHz\/ 320kbits (16bits)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAAC – up to 48kHz\/320kbits (16bits)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOGG and AAC – up to 48kHz (16bits)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDSD64 and DSD128\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBluetooth® – aptX™ Adaptive, SBC, AAC\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNote: handles smooth, gapless playback on all formats\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e        \n    \n    \n\u003cp\u003eThis is excellent news as just about every format is covered, so if you are like many music lovers who store music on hard drives or NAS storage, then you know that you can collect music in many different formats over the years. Having processing for all of these formats means you can spend more time listening to your favorite music rather than worrying about formats and compatibility.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFor music streaming lovers, Focal thought about you as well.  All of your favorite streaming sources are supported, and all casting technologies are as well. That means you can get your favorite music from your choice of streaming sources and then use the technology to cast it to the speakers. One of the great things about Focal’s efforts to make Diva Utopia as easy to use as possible is that they ensured all the streaming platforms and casting methods worked great and effortlessly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"col_full\"\u003e\u003cimg style=\"display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; max-width: 100%;\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0572\/3281\/8260\/files\/diva_connections.jpg\" alt=\"Focal Diva Utopia connections diagram\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"col_narrow\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn our testing, we used streaming audio directly from our phones using Chromecast or Airplay. We tried a networked setup with UPnP streaming and streamed directly from the Focal\/Naim app included with the Diva Utopia. We even connected via Bluetooth a few times just for convenience and to see how well it functioned. We had no issues, and it sounded great (not quite as good as direct streaming, but close). So, for music lovers like many of us who get our favorite music from multiple streaming platforms, Diva Utopia is fully set up to make that process as easy as possible, and with the Focal \u0026amp; Naim app being the hub, that is possible.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \n\u003cp\u003eThe Focal \u0026amp; Naim app was familiar to us, as we have used it many times with the Focal Bathys headphones. However, the version for the Diva Utopia uses specific speaker settings. It was easy to use, and we could find our favorite music or setting very easily. Another cool thing about this app is that it allows Diva Utopia multi-room audio compatibility with other Naim products, like the very popular \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.audioadvice.com\/products\/naim-mu-so-v2-reference-wireless-music-system-black\"\u003eNaim Mu-so\u003c\/a\u003e reference wireless music system.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \n\u003cp\u003ePlus, when it comes to room correction, they implemented their Focal-designed ADAPT (Adaptive Acoustic Personal Tuning), which is a system that allows you to make meaningful adjustments to room acoustics. It uses built-in sound tests to adjust the sound to the room, and they even let you have a hand in tuning the speakers so that you can add a slight personal preference to the mix. We will further show this ability in our product video, but it worked great for us and allowed the Diva Utopia to work great in just about any environment. To put it into perspective, this is not a full EQ like many Bluetooth headphones have, it is an innovative system for adjusting the speakers to the room and placement within it. It also allows you to tweak to your personal preference slightly. Our entire team was super impressed by this feature!\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \n\u003cp\u003eFocal has also considered people who want to connect their legacy or separate digital components to the Diva Utopia. Type A USB, Toslink, RCA analog inputs to connect a phono preamp for vinyl lovers, RJ45 ethernet with UPnP support. Another option that Focal added to the Diva Utopia is connecting your television to the speakers via the HDMI eARC connection. This allows you to get better-quality television audio while controlling the volume of the Diva Utopia from the television remote.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"col_full\"\u003e\u003cimg style=\"display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; max-width: 100%;\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0572\/3281\/8260\/files\/DIVA-FOCAL-RVB-VISUEL-7.jpg\" alt=\"Focal Diva Utopia Speaker\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"col_narrow\"\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"hp-title\"\u003ePerformance\u003c\/h3\u003e \n\u003cp\u003eLike all of Focal’s products, unboxing the Diva Utopia was easy and first-rate. It is about as close to plug-and-play as a reference-quality all-in-one system gets! No speaker wires are necessary (we loved that Focal used UWB technology to connect the speakers together wirelessly). Still, RJ45 primary and secondary speaker link connections are available for users who want a wired link connection (we cover this below). Once you set up the app and run the ADAPT room optimization software, you are ready to start listening!\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \n\u003cp\u003eOne thing to note was the ADAPT system. Some distance and room boundary measurements are required, and then you have listening tests to see which profile sounds the best. It's meant to assist in speaker placement, room boundary tuning, and personal preference tuning. We still recommend using good speaker placement practices to get the most out of the Diva Utopia unless it is impossible. Here, we have an article on just that.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \n\u003cp style=\"text-align:center;\"\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.audioadvice.com\/blogs\/expert-advice\/2-channel-speaker-set-up-guide\"\u003eAudio Advice 2-Channel Speaker Set Up Guide\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \n\u003cp\u003eWe suggest reading through the manual while connecting up the Diva Utopia because Focal has added multiple ways to connect the speakers together, as well as different options like a ground switch for connecting analog components if you need a ground to prevent hum. These different connection methods depend on your room situation and if you have other components, so our wireless speaker connection method with the ground switch-off might not work for you in your room. Use the manual and go with the best method for your room, as Focal has ensured all the options are of the highest quality possible. If you need additional help with setup, when you purchase from Audio Advice, our experts are here to help with any questions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \n\u003cp\u003eTo be honest, sometimes we had a hard time spending alone time with the Diva Utopia. Everyone wanted to see them and, of course, hear them. Everyone who heard them agreed they are a true marvel of technology and sound. One thing is for sure: Focal ensured that all of the technology within the Diva Utopia worked well. We even used our Siri or Google Assistant to skip tracks and change volume and were impressed with how smoothly it functioned.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \n\u003cp\u003eOur first listen told us we weren't listening to a half-baked attempt at a new product. This is real high-end audio. With all the realism and scale one would want. Listening to Prince’s \"One Nite Alone\" recording from 2002, we were left shocked at how good these all-in-one speakers sounded. Prince's voice had great depth and clarity, with a locked image you could almost touch. The piano was hauntingly realistic, with excellent dynamic swings between soft and hard keystrokes. Some might say the Diva Utopias are tuned too safe. But to us, they are tuned to present music in an energetic and detailed way without any fatigue or harsh elements. And with the ADAPT system, you can somewhat tailor the sound to your needs. Another thing of note is that the imaging was excellent, and the m-shaped tweeter dome on this model allows better image properties while sitting off access from the center position. In simple terms, if you're not sitting in the sweet spot, you still get good imaging. Plus, the sound will be more balanced throughout the room, so everyone can enjoy great sound and not just the person in the main listening seat.\u003c\/p\u003e    \n    \n\u003cp style=\"text-align:center;\"\u003e\u003ciframe src=\"https:\/\/widget.qobuz.com\/album\/sjasywwuictaa?lang=en\u0026amp;zone=us-en\" width=\"600\" height=\"140\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e  \n    \n\u003cp\u003eDuring our testing, we noticed that the RJ45 wired link connection between the speakers gave slightly more dynamic and expressive performance than the UWB wireless connection. This is likely the result of the limited bandwidth of the UWB connection. In wireless UWB mode, the resolution is capped at 24-bit\/96kHZ. In ethernet mode it allows up to 24 bit\/192kHz. These differences were minor and only noticed during intense listening sessions, but they were worth noting. So, if you want the best sound possible in your room and can do it, go wired (but there is nothing wrong with the wireless link method if it is better for your installation).\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \n\u003cp\u003eWe tested just how loud the Diva Utopias could play on a couple of after-hours listening sessions before any audible distress showed up. But what we didn't know was that Focal and Naim devised an active system to monitor both amplification and speaker drivers for any signs of distortion and limit output above that. So, in theory, you can't make them distort or blow! We secretly think that Focal knew the speakers would be used for parties and knew a system like that would be beneficial.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \n\u003cp\u003eOverall, the Focal Diva Utopia proved that it belongs among the ultra-high-end flagship products within its price class. It performed well and is a competitive option compared to separate components and speakers at the same price level. With the baked-in synergy, it could outperform them in some cases.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"col_full\"\u003e\u003cimg style=\"display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; max-width: 100%;\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0572\/3281\/8260\/files\/DIVA-FOCAL-RVB-VISUEL-1.jpg\" alt=\"Overhear shot of Focal Diva Utopia\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"col_narrow\"\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"hp-title\"\u003eConclusion\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe could discuss the Focal Diva Utopia's features and capabilities all day. But what matters is whether it lives up to the standard of a flagship speaker in audio performance. We are proud to say that the sound of the Diva Utopia lives up to flagship status in every metric we measure speakers. The imaging and soundstage were excellent, the detail was at the flagship level, and the realism was impressive.\u003c\/p\u003e \n    \n\u003cp\u003eYes, it is an expensive speaker, but it is comparable in performance to a full-component system of the same cost. And you get all of the wireless capability and ease of use features that Focal and Naim took years to engineer.

They come from a company known for their uber high end audiophile headphones and add noise canceling and wireless along with their great sound and fantastic design.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"col_full\"\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"Focal Bathys\" src=\"https:\/\/www.audioadvice.com\/wordpress2\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/DSC05068.jpg\" style=\"display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; max-width: 100%;\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"col_narrow\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFocal is headquartered in France and has been around more than 40 years. Focal makes very high end audiophile products from headphones that cost $5,000 to speakers that sell for $250,000. Any company that plays in the stratosphere of ultra high performance like Focal needs a superb team of engineers who are all driven to design the best sounding products possible.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAnd, when you create products in the extreme high end category, the engineers usually find a way to bring some of the great tech they discover into their much more affordable products. That is exactly the case with the new Bathys wireless headphones.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSo what makes these so special? First, they are terrific travel headphones that are a step above the normal Sony and Bose models you will see people wearing on planes. Second, they double as terrific sounding home and office headphones.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 class=\"hp-title\"\u003eDesign \u0026amp; Build Quality\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSo what is with the name Bathys? It was inspired from the word bathyscaphe, which is a small submersible vessel used for deep sea dives. When you are down that deep, \u003cstrong\u003ethere is nothing but silence and calm, which is how Focal feels your experience will be when wearing these headphones.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you have seen any of the other \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.audioadvice.com\/headphones-portables\/headphones?brand=231\"\u003ehigh performance Focal headphones\u003c\/a\u003e you know they have a very distinctive look, which Focal carried forward with the new Bathys. They have that great curved design with the perforated aluminum back where the perforations get tighter in their pattern pushing the Focal logo towards the front. It just looks super cool. But there is a side benefit to this look — with most headphones, you have to go find the R or L to know which way to put them on. With the Bathys, you just put the logo side towards the front and don’t even have to look for the R or L, pretty cool! When you look around the airport lounge, you see lots of people with standard black travel headphones. Not these. They not only sound better, but they look the part — just like a supercar standing out in a parking lot.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"col_full\"\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"Focal Bathys\" src=\"https:\/\/www.audioadvice.com\/wordpress2\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/IMG_3200.jpg\" style=\"display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; max-width: 100%;\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"col_narrow\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe materials used in the Bathys are mostly aluminum, leather, and magnesium, with the only colors being black and a silver gray.\u003c\/strong\u003e Focal’s higher end headphones, like the \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.audioadvice.com\/focal-clear-mg-over-ear-headphones\"\u003eClear MG Open-Back Over-Ear Headphones\u003c\/a\u003e, for example, are known not only for amazing sound, but a level of comfort that exceeds other brands. We have always thought their headphones were super easy to wear. This was even more important for them with the Bathys with the travel use case. These weigh only 12 ¾ ounces which is very light for a headphone of this quality level. A lot of noise cancelling headphones like Sony and Bose are more on ear than over ear, which can reduce the long term comfort.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Bathys have very deep and wide earcups, making them a great fit for everyone. \u003cstrong\u003eThe pads themselves are ⅞” thick and almost ¾” wide.\u003c\/strong\u003e There is then a gap of about ¼” between them and the soft cover for the driver giving room for people with larger ears. \u003cstrong\u003eThe opening for your ear is also much bigger than a Sony or Bose at roughly 2 5\/8” tall and about 1 ¾” wide.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe entire surface of the cups are real soft leather over a very nicely squishy memory foam.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe headband is also covered in soft leather over memory foam that is ¾” thick where it touches the top of your head. The magnesium yokes adjust quite freely and were really easy to get a comfortable fit. Like most good headphones, the adjustments in or out on the headband click in place in small increments to make it easy to fine tune them.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe wore them for several hours, and \u003cstrong\u003eeven after a long time, we did not experience much heat build up or any discomfort,\u003c\/strong\u003e which is exactly what we would expect from Focal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"col_full\"\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"Focal Bathys Earcups\" src=\"https:\/\/www.audioadvice.com\/wordpress2\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/IMG_3199.jpg\" style=\"display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; max-width: 100%;\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"col_narrow\"\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"hp-title\"\u003eFeatures \u0026amp; Technology\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLooking at the features you can access from the headphones, \u003cstrong\u003ethe right earcup has the button you press to initially connect bluetooth, volume\/mute, the on\/off or DAC switch, a smart assistant for Google or Alexa button, a USB charging and DAC connection, and an analog cable connection.\u003c\/strong\u003e The Clear Voice Capture mic is also on the right facing towards the front. The left side has one button which controls the way noise canceling operates.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe headphones come nicely packaged and include an ergonomic travel case that is somewhat hard and covered in what feels like a wool material that is light gray. A 1 meter USB C cable and ⅛” analog cable are included with the headphones.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRemarkably, these \u003cstrong\u003ecan play for 30 hours using both Bluetooth and active noise cancelling without a charge and only take 90 minutes to fully charge.\u003c\/strong\u003e There is even a \u003cstrong\u003equick charge mode that gives you 5 hours of life in 15 minutes\u003c\/strong\u003e which is great when you are sitting in the terminal thinking, oh no, I forgot to charge my headphones.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOk so far, these might sound like a really nicely made pair of very comfortable headphones you can use at home or on the road. Let's look at what impressed us so much.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFocal wanted the Bluetooth aspect of these to deliver the best audio, so they chose \u003cstrong\u003eBluetooth 5.1 technology that works with SBC, AAC, Apt-X™ and Apt-X™ Adaptive codecs\u003c\/strong\u003e, which is a great choice on their part. It supports high-definition audio up to 48 kHz sampling rates and sample resolutions up to 24 bits. We see some headphones that do not go the Apt-X route, which makes no sense to us.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFocal has been perfecting their \u003cstrong\u003eproprietary ‘M’-shaped dome driver\u003c\/strong\u003e for years. It is made in France from a combination of magnesium and aluminum. A version of this is used in all of their top end headphones. The Bathys gets a new version of this same driver designed to be \u003cstrong\u003elighter for portable use\u003c\/strong\u003e. You get that same great dynamic sound that can reveal the tiniest detail, yet has that classic Focal warmth that makes their headphones so easy to listen to for a long time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFocal also has an app for the Bathys that lets you perform basic equalization and even save eq curves if you want to. The app lets you switch between noise canceling modes and turn the lights on, off, or dim on the earcups.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"col_full\"\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"Focal Bathys\" src=\"https:\/\/www.audioadvice.com\/wordpress2\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/HD-FOCAL-2375.jpg\" style=\"display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; max-width: 100%;\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"col_narrow\"\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"hp-title\"\u003eFocal Bathys Performance\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThis driver gives these headphones a big leg up on the competition and enables them to sound like a wonderful pair of static headphones, yet offer both bluetooth and noise cancelling.\u003c\/strong\u003e And let us tell you, they sound fantastic. We were playing some of our favorite test tracks that have very small details hidden in the background that most \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.audioadvice.com\/headphones-portables\/headphone-features\/wireless-headphones\"\u003etravel headphones\u003c\/a\u003e just completely gloss over. On every single one, we could clearly hear the little details totally separated from the other instruments and that was using Bluetooth!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe real magic happens when you use the USB connection. This would generally be used for home or office use, but you simply slide the little switch to DAC On and this engages a great DAC that is inside the headphones. Yes, \u003cstrong\u003ethe Bathys includes a USB-DAC that can handle up to 24\/192k\u003c\/strong\u003e. Standalone headphone DAC amplifiers like this can cost upwards of $500 by themselves. We tested this on a Mac Studio. This bypasses the inexpensive Digital to Analog converter in the Mac and instead uses the superior DAC in the headphones. This also engages the small amplifier inside the headphones instead of driving them passively with the Mac. The difference was fantastic. We played several tracks including the now famous \u003cem\u003eMaverick: Top Gun\u003c\/em\u003e album.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ciframe src=\"https:\/\/widget.qobuz.com\/album\/au0q0ax1ytvta?lang=en\u0026amp;zone=us-en\" width=\"600\" height=\"130\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe separation of the instruments in the “Top Gun Anthem” track is incredible using the DAC. We found ourselves wanting to just listen to more and more music with the DAC engaged. As you would expect, \u003cstrong\u003ethe entire soundstage opened up and they could deliver the full symphonic dynamics without any strain\u003c\/strong\u003e. So with these headphones, whenever you are in the mood for higher performance listening, you just switch over to using the USB DAC. And that’s not it. Let’s say you just keep getting into your music and want to push these headphones to an even higher level. Well they have a mini headphone jack that you can connect to a high performance standalone headphone DAC\/amplifier. We tested them with a high end desktop headphone amp and they stepped up even more.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe were also very impressed with the way they set up the noise cancelling. A small button on the left cup will turn this on or off, but the on mode has two settings. You \u003cstrong\u003epress the button quickly to select on or off, but if you hold it down for two seconds when noise canceling is turned on, you can switch between silent mode and soft mode\u003c\/strong\u003e. Silent mode will be great for travel completely block out external noise, while soft mode lets you hear a bit more of what is going on around you. We found we liked soft mode when we used Bluetooth at home. The off position is what Focal calls Transparent mode.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese will also be great for office use. Since they are closed back headphones, very little sound escapes, so you will not be disturbing your neighbors at all.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"col_full\"\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"Focal Bathys\" src=\"https:\/\/www.audioadvice.com\/wordpress2\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/DSC05065.jpg\" style=\"display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; max-width: 100%;\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"col_narrow\"\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"hp-title\"\u003eOverall Recommendation\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAll and all, these headphones are a killer triple play. They are the best sounding portable headphones we have heard to date, you can use them at home in USB DAC mode for audio that gets you darn close to the Focal Clear MG that costs almost 3 times as much, and you can use them at work in either of the noise canceling modes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe have to hand it to Focal, their first attempt at a high performance, wireless, noise cancelling headphone is a huge success. There are a lot of headphones that don’t make the cut for a review from Audio Advice, so when we bring you a headphone like these and let you know how much we like them, your greatest way of supporting us is to purchase them from one of our award winning showrooms or from AudioAdvice.com.
