Bathys

I bought them a year and a half ago aprox, and dont ask why, but I also own Airpods Max, XM5, QC Ultra, Airpods Pro 2, XM4 and have tried regular QCs and Sonos Ace. My favorite sounding headphones have been the Airpods Max and the Momentum 4, specially with sound personalization, though, the Momentu

I own both and find that the ANC on the PX8S2 to have slightly less cabin pressure but more heat. So there's a trade off regardless of your choice. The only ANC headphones I've used that don't have cabin pressure either have fairly weak ANC for their price bracket e.g. Focal Bathys/MG version or com

The PX8 S2 is energetic out of the box; the recessed midrange, and boosted treble and low frequencies are how most consumer headphones are tuned, which is why some listeners will have issues with sibilance on certain sets. The PX8 S2 are especially strident; I prefer the PX7 S

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.

I've tried all of these personally. Was in the same place. Tons of audiophile grade wired cans, looking for an exciting pair of closed back anc. You wouldnt believe the look on my face when the Dyson Zones came out on top for me. By a LOT. Anc is the best I've ever used, in the sense that you can't

I have owned more of the high end headphones in this segment, so if you want to know here is my quick take:Airpods max 2 - great sound quality but nothing stands out, excellent noise cancellation, clamping force is huge for big heads and was the main reason i returned them. B&W PX8 S2 - Excellent so

Yeah the only disadvantage of the Bathys MG is the price and the fact it's a "battery powered" product. People hate the idea of paying such price for a product that's eventually going to stop working when the battery dies. People also treat sound products with a diminishing returns vision - if the d

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
