Bathys

Glad you are having a great experience with the PX8 s2. I had them for a while and was underwhelmed by their performance. Noise canceling was (to me) poor and was not impressed by the sound quality. That said, I currently have the Focal Bathys MG and Bose ultra gen2. The Focals sound great and are v

I had the same issue with these. Try the Focal Bathys MG. Better sound and far more comfortable. The Focals stayed and b&ws went back.

I have both and also the MG... Read it and I hope it can help you. Sound Performance ​The B&W Px8 S2 (The "Musical" Choice) ​Signature: It has a warm, lush, and bass-heavy sound profile.

B&W PX8 S2 - Excellent so

If the $400 cost difference is not an issue, I'll say definitely Focal Bathys MG (I have both.) Or actually, the previous gen Px8!! (I have those too!) OG Px8 is not sibilant. I actually prefer their tuning (and clamping force/comfort/on ear feelings over the S2s.) I was going to sell them, but am k

I had the Chance to demo both the OG and MG Bathys in the Focal & Naim shop in Paris (tested all presets: wireless and DAC modes + with and without the Mimi personalization + with and without the Dynamic EQ): The OG Bathys sounded great to my ears... Until I tried the MG. It was impossible to like o

The Focal Bathys sounded great! Definitely less emphasis in the bass, which is a bit of a negative for me, but you can EQ in the app - and it avoids being boomy like the Px7 (that I came from) sometimes feel. AptX Adaptive was just as good as the Px7, and there was definitely better clarity througho
