Has Active Noise Cancellation (Anc)
Focal Bathys

OneOdio Studio Wireless C ✗
Active noise cancellation uses more advanced technology to actively counter noise. How it works, it detects and analyzes the sound pattern outside and inside the earbud and then inverts the soundwaves to cancel it out. In simple terms, it's like taking +1 outside (noise from your surrounding) and adding -1 inside (counter sound within the device) to make zero resulting in a reduced level of noise.
Focal Bathys allow you to listen at lower volume levels, causing less ear fatigue as you don't have to crank up the volume to overcome background noise.
Has Passive Noise Reduction

OneOdio Studio Wireless C ✓
Passive Noise Cancellation uses well-designed ear cups to seal out environment noise. This is used for both in-ear earphones and over-ear headphones where the headphone itself will keep surrounding noise out.
The OneOdio Studio Wireless C sits tightly in place, creating an acoustic seal that reduces background noise and prevents your music from leaking out.
Both of these devices have passive noise reduction which means that also the Focal Bathys isolates you from ambient noise instead of actively using technology to cancel it out.
Lowest Frequency
Focal Bathys
15Hz
OneOdio Studio Wireless C ✗
Low-frequency response measures if and how well an audio device reproduces low audible frequencies and if it makes any changes to the signal while at it. Focal Bathys's lowest frequency is at 15Hz, the lower the low-frequency response, the stronger and juicier the bass.
Highest Frequency
Focal Bathys
22000Hz
OneOdio Studio Wireless C ✗
High frequency response measures if and how well an audio device reproduces high audible frequencies and if it makes any changes to the signal while at it. Focal Bathys's highest frequency is at 22000Hz, the higher the high-frequency response, the clearer and crispier the treble.
Sound Pressure Level
Focal Bathys
✗
OneOdio Studio Wireless C 110dB/mW
Sound pressure is the average variation in atmospheric pressure caused by the sound, the sound level .i.e how loud something is can be perceived differently by different people so we need to have the means to get an objective measurement of sound level expressed in numerical terms.
The sound pressure level, SPL, is the pressure level of a sound, measured in decibels, dB, OneOdio Studio Wireless C's measurement is 110dB/mW. Devices with a higher sound pressure level are generally louder when supplied with any given audio source.
Driver Unit Size
Focal Bathys
40mm
OneOdio Studio Wireless C 50mm
The driver unit is the component that produces sound in the device, its size dictates the loudness of the headphone. OneOdio Studio Wireless C driver unit is 50mm in diameter, bigger drivers are more powerful and can produce better bass.
Focal Bathys driver unit is 40mm in diameter,
which means that they have a smaller driver unit than that of OneOdio Studio Wireless C by 10mm
, as many tend to believe that driver units of a bigger size automatically produce better sound quality.
However, large drivers usually have difficulty reproducing high frequencies so yeah, larger drivers can generate louder sound, but this does not mean that they deliver better sound.
Impedance
Focal Bathys
✗
OneOdio Studio Wireless C 32Ohms
Defined as the device's resistance to the electromagnetic current, as electricity flows through a wire, it faces electrical resistance that counters the flow of current. The resistance of a wire is measured in ohms. OneOdio Studio Wireless C's impedance is 32Ohms, the lower the impedance, the easier it is to get higher volume and requires less power.
Has A Neodymium Magnet

OneOdio Studio Wireless C ✓
Neodymium magnets when used in audio devices produce a higher sensitivity and substantial sound output using less power to do so. They can help produce music at quite a high sound pressure level, SPL, with the use of high magnetic flux. The OneOdio Studio Wireless C have this type of magnet.
Focal Bathys have it too, devices with neodymium magnets are lighter and more powerful than those which use ferrite magnets. It is also known that they have more bass and clear high notes.
