The RTINGS review of the HDB 630 is finally out!
Competition is always a good thing, if you leave Focal as is, it would just do another small bump\refresh on the Bathys MG, call it Bathys MG Pro, and ask for 2k. HDB630 is not perfect by any means (I returned mine), but it is a wakeup call for other companies that they need to a lot more to ask for

HDB 630 vs Bathys OG (vs PX8 S2)
I've owned these sets. 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

Tried and got the PX8 S2!
I plan to get a pair next week. And that's because i want something outside of bose and sony. Was tossing up between focal bathys mg and px8s2. But the focal price is next tier. So am gonna stick with the px8s2. Ordered lego2 as well. So a pricey month but can't wait to have them in hand.

PX8 S2 McLaren
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

So... does this club come with a rewards scheme?
Oh you sweet, sweet summer child .... you're still in the shallow end of the pool. 🤣🤣🤣 Seriously though, welcome! It's a fun club, and I wish there was a rewards plan. For what it's worth, I consider ANC headphones to be Swiss Army Knives; okay at a bunch of stuff, good at none of them and I tend to

PX8s2 vs Focal Bathys Mg
like I said, I already have the Edition XS, Focal Elegia and HD800s also; I didn't like the Azurys with its flat soundstage, good imaging though. I prefer the Elegia from the Focals, but has some reverb. The Noire X is the best closed back wired set so far. But I only mentioned these for reference,

Recommendation for closed back or wireless anc headphones
If you’re interested in sound quality and Bluetooth for classical music and home use, there’s no better choice than the Audeze Maxwell planar headphones.They’re marketed as gaming headsets, but you can use them without the microphone. There’s no ANC, but the passive isolation is so effective that it
