Comfort is a key focus in the Bathys MG, featuring an improved headband wrapped in genuine leather and memory foam earpads for a significantly lighter feel. The combination of premium materials and ergonomic design ensures users can enjoy extended listening sessions without discomfort.
Beyond its superior sound and elegant design, the Bathys MG delivers an array of features that make it one of the most advanced wireless headphones on the market:
