IS MOMENTUM 4 STILL WORTH BUYING TODAY? CAN IT STILL COMPETE WITH THE NEWLY RELEASED HEADPHONES THIS 2025 IN TERMS OF SOUND QUALITY?

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

PX 8S2 vs Focal Bathys

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. It’s designed to be smooth and "expensive" sounding rather than surgically accurate. ​Strengths: The low-end has

Looking for a more resolving complement to the Bokeh Closed

Thanks, I would not rule Focal out at all to be honest. Before moving to the Bokeh I had a bit of a journey through wireless headphones. I came from the Sony WH-1000XM6, tried the B&W PX8 S2 which I found too boomy with a bit too much treble or sibilance, then the Audeze Maxwell which I actually rea

What headphones to buy in 2026?

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

HDB 630 vs Bathys OG (vs PX8 S2)

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

HDB 630 vs Bathys OG (vs PX8 S2)

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

Stuck between the B&W Px8s2 and Dali IO-8

Having tested both along with the Focal Bathys Mg, the clear winner was focal. The sound that those unlocked was on another level. That being said, between your two, B&W hands down. But if you can, try the Focal. And anc seemed much better on the bathys.

Audiophile Wireless Headset for Gaming and Music for ~$300

Brilliant! Listed 40 hours. I never ran out. Look for reviews. I can promise you it sounds very close to Focal Bathys, for a ton less money! The only things you're sacrificing are build quality and ANC, but that's very much understandable considering the sheer value. It's the best value wireless hea

What happened to headphones being a statement piece!

10000% worth it. Technically, I don't like to compare to "slash through" prices, they usually go for around 350 new consistently. Again, even at 350 there's no better for the sound quality. They run hand in hand, and some say they surpass the focal bathys, the all around winner for the 500-600 dolla

My thoughts on PX7 S3 and why I'll be returning them

Interesting review yet all YouTube reviews and noise canceling curves shoe they are on par with the xm5/6/qc ultra. Just different settings. They seem to be tons better on higher frequencies eg where a lot of people are and talk than on a plane or train ride. And those tdch tubers usually have fairl
