Focal's nature-inspired headphones duo follow in the footsteps of the superb Bathys

Focal Azurys.

French audio brand Focal will be unveiling two new pairs of premium headphones at the High End Munich 2024 show this week. Promising to make the "purity of high fidelity sound accessible to as many people as possible", the new open-backed Hadenys are arriving alongside the closed-back Azurys as Focal looks to build on the momentum generated by the likes of the superb Bathys and Utopia models. 

Both pairs of wired headphones feature the same 40mm aluminium and magnesium drivers as found in the five-star Bathys wireless headphones. Sporting a specially designed ‘M’-shaped dome (also seen in Focal's speakers), the drivers have been adjusted to fit both new pairs with the aim of delivering a "detailed, warm and dynamic high-fidelity sound".
