When this guide applies

Exact Focal Bathys MG over Bluetooth. Two sources have already been paired; the FAQ allows two connections but only one playing stream. Confirm the first source has an active headphone connection; a saved pairing record alone is insufficient. No wired-audio procedure, factory reset or pairing-list clear is included.

Connection scope: Bluetooth. Symptom: Switching between devices isn’t working.

This is a documented check, not a diagnosis of your equipment. The model name does not confirm the selected input, mode, software or connected partner.

If your exact model or a required setting is unknown, use the “I don’t know” branch below. Do not apply a similarly named model’s instructions.

What owners have reported

These are public, self-reported experiences. They help explain the order of checks and the limits of a guide. They are not controlled tests, proof of a cause, a success rate or a substitute for the manufacturer instructions above.

User-reported Focal Bathys MG — One Year Later

The writer reports occasional restarts and audible noises around Bluetooth bitrate changes; comments describe differing experiences, including less severe multipoint complaints.

How this informs the checks: Context for a bounded Bluetooth comparison and a support exit when noise persists. It does not establish that changing codec repairs a hardware defect.

Limits: Subjective owner reports without controlled measurements or verified common cause. USB-DAC complaints in the same post fall outside these Bluetooth guides.

Possible result

More information is needed

An unknown observation does not establish a diagnosis. Record the last visible state and consult the exact-model instructions.

    Possible result

    Continue with model and source support

    Keep the last observation and source/app details. Do not delete pairings or reset settings merely because this comparison did not help.
