My sincerest condolences on the loss of your wife! I lost my wife of 34 years 6 years ago. I wish you success in your adjustment.

I just bought a pair this week, and the sound blew me away. Very good purchase

I'm really impressed that you took the time to test the battery life in all of the different modes! 🌟

My most sincere condolences for the passing of your wife. Wonderful review, thank you

Very sorry for your loss. First time listener to your reviews - really enjoyed this one - look forward to more in the future!

Sorry about your loss. Another great and so clear review from you . All the best from me

Ngl I love the design. They really pop out. I never seen headphones look like that

Hey man I'm really sorry to hear about your wife hope you are doing well man thx for the awesome content

I received my Focal Bathys today and tested them. I must say that the sound is top tier. However, I also tested against my Jabra Elite 75t's earbuds using the Wavelet app on an Android phone. The 75t's were very close but the bass was definitely more pronounced and HIT harder. Now I've watched a review about from an Audiophile and he declared that you have to get 300 hours of play time to get the best sound out of the Bathys. He said this is the break-in period and the bass will get better along with the sound Signature. Time will tell.

Great review. Practical points right from the start. And great that you focus on your experiences, thoughts and observations rather than falling back onto charts🙂

I'm sorry about your loss, God bless.

Just waiting for mine, came from Sony MX3, exelecent review one of the best i have seen🔥😍🇧🇻

Always nice to get your perspective big Homie when the Audiophile brands start making commercial products. I have a bit of love/hate relationship with Focal so avoided the Bathys but glad to hear you like them. Hopefully your feedback makes it to France :D

Here in some South East Asian country, Edifier (Chinese company) Stax Spirit S3 officially costing for $248. It's no brainier for the price compare to this Focal France company, I guess

Sorry to hear about your wife. Great review. I bought Focal Bathys couple days ago. Beautiful headphone. The sound are fantastic and so melody.

Amazing review! Will get these for sure over Airpods Max.

Awesome video Jeff. Something else to add to my wishlist 😂

💔My condolences goes out to U & Ur FAMILY

Great review, thanks⭐️🙏🏽

First of all, sorry I did not know about your wife! Sorry for your loss. Bathys: I love them. I did not find the clamping force to great and have had no issues with fit over long listening sessions. These are really comfortable, love the ear pads. These are beating the Mark Levison 5909 in reviews, plus the Levinson are ugly but most people like the sound signature of the Focal though the Levinson are good as well and its one or the other 50/50 on the PX8 but these having the options for wired puts these ahead and with an on board DAC is another reason depending on your needs. To me it is a great sounding blue tooth headphone with the option to be an excellent wired option. Basically 2 headphones in one. Connect the Bathys with iPhone to utilize the onboard DAC using a ddHiFi TC28i Pro for usb-c to usb-c which allows you to run Tidal Masters from an iPhone! Or run a Dragonfly from your computer to the 3.5mm jack in the Bathys if you like which will utilize the Dragonfly DAC. But wirelessly with AAC these are the best I have heard so far. I don't care about the call quality and things like that, though excellent and silent mode very good, I want the best sound! I do like the LED as well! And switching between one device to another is simply wonderful. I can listen wirelessly on computer, stop playing music there and then switch to iPhone and the headphones pick it up quickly!

Thank you, Great review

Listening to this vid on my AEON Noires as well, great choice!

Yeah, these things give the mainstream options a run for their money for sure!

I feel the B&W PX8s are the new Sound Quality KING! You’re in for a treat EL JEFE, you wont be disappointed

Love the music suggestions bro. I'm considering these or B&O H95. Few reviews I've seen comparing the two prefer B&O. I know both sets cost bank but if you get a chance to compare the two that would be awesome.

Fantastic review. Was really tempted in getting these after selling my B&O H95’s (wasn’t happy with the comfort / low volume even in highest settings / and the fatigue I would get after wearing them for a few hours for nearly 1k). Ended up ordering the Bowers & Wilkins PX8 after lots of comparisons, reviews and forum searching vs the Bathys. Would love to see a review of them if you are able to get a review unit + comparison to the Focal Bathy’s in your knowledgeable opinion!

they need 50 hours of listening before they can sound max. maybe sounded a bit low out of the box but after 50 hours they sound better and controlled

Hey El Jefe, if you like Salsa and voice separation, check out "Tu Cumpleaños" by Willie Chirino and scroll to 3:04. The voice separation by the chorus is excellent.

Hi Jefe how does the Edifier Stax Spirit S3 & Drop Pandas compare to the Focal Bathys in terms of Sound Quality? (Since they are wireless) Hope to see you review the Beoplay H95s too, heard they are some of the cleanest & accurate wireless headphones

Thanks for the review. Several things that come to mind. The built quality is ok, it does have black plastic around the cans. One feature that it missing that way cheaper headphones have, pausing the media when not on the ears, THERE IS NO SENSOR!!!!. Bad in my book. On this price range, Sennheiser ,the Sony don’t come even close. Better compare with Marc Levinson 5909 and or Bang & Olufson Beoplay h95 or Bowers & Wilkins PX8 . Many customers have had an issue with these headphones, developing a high pitch noise when turn on . Has led to some outlets to stop selling them ,cause of the returns of high priced devices. Peace

I'm curious to see your review of the DCA Aeons

Maybe you must test the Bowers & Wilkins PX7 s2 more people like this one as a alrounder hifi more better than the Bathys. Also because of the Price Bathys € 799 PX7 s2 € 450 even € 420 somewhere.

Finally Some1 who says the codecs for these

Can you make review doing head to head comparison against all the top end consumer headphones

Love the video and these definitely appear to be top tier... Glad it seems what you get kind of matches the price.

Great review and also enjoyed the full replay cheers! #replaysquad

I expected these to be head and shoulders above the typical ANC offerings from Sony, Bose, Sennheiser, and Apple. Their true competition are the B&W PX8 and Mark Levinson No 5909. Can't wait to get your opinions on those.

Hi Jefe, do you know if the Sennheiser Momentum 4 has USB DAC like the Bathys? I mean, I read that Bathys Connect directly to any device’s USB port can take advantage of the built-in DAC, taking your audio to 24-bit / 192kHz for even more impressive performance. and I would like to know if the M4 has something similar...

Great review thank you. How do the Bathys compare volume wise with the AirPods Max on an iPhone. My iPods max are just about ok for me with my fading ears so would not want to purchase a pair that are lower in volume. Any help greatly appreciated thanks

.....TIDAL Sounds Amazing On My Bathys Via USB C .....I Likes Mines Boss . The Bluetooth Does Not Sound As Great As The USB C Direct Connection . .....The Bluetooth does sound good but LDAC would have been much better with its much higher bit rate over APTX . .....Ive Not Tried The.3.5 Aux Cable Yet . .....A Question., Since the Bathys use its own internal DAC if i use my Fiio BTR7 To Get LDAC Codec Would My BTR7 Interfere With the Bathys Own Internal DAC

First of all: sorry to hear about your loss... This is the first time I visited your channel, and I like your style. Keep it going.... As for the inability to use the Bathys passively, my guess is that the analogue input is converted to digital before it is fed to the DAC of the Bathys.

EL Jefe what Codec do use for your range testing since I never heard say which one you use in all of your testing? Thanks👃

Mic on the sony sounded best and then other 3 are comparable maybe focal in 2nd too

Watching this on my Noires, thinking about picking up the bathys. How is the layering and stage on these compared to the noires?

Jefe Regardless of the price, which according to your opinion is the best hearing aid! The focal Banthys or the edifier stax S3?Thanks for the help, I look forward to your response.

are you gonna get the audiotechnica ath-wb2022 when it comes out next year since it uses sony ldac codec and also has a usb dac? I wish the focal bathys had ldac, ldac is built in on android 8.

please accept our condolences ...sorry for your loss...😨

Hi everyone ! Hi sir Jefe ! Can someone help me please??!!! 😢😢😢 i received my focal bathys. In BT they work fine. But they don’t work on dac mode with my iphone 12 pro. I tried lightning to usb c cable (6 different cable), nothing work! When i put the dac mode in hear a bip sound in my earcups, but the sound plays on iphone’s speaker 😮😮 i tried with iphone 12 pro max (my wife), nothing worked. I tried with an iphone x, sr and 11… nothing worked on dac mode 😮😮😮 Please help :) thank you

Am I the only one getting a distortion / rattling sound when the music is a little too loud? Or there's too much going on with music?

I really enjoyed your live stream yesterday. I am also very happy to see you back at work. I was especially delighted to see what you and others are doing to honor your wife. God is good and Heaven is real. God bless you my brother.

hey my friend .. whats your advice to me .. for headset with sd-card memory ..because i like to run with with it without caring my phone . thank you

Is it true that the Bathys has not really enough headroom?? bc I heard that in a couple of reviews, so is it loud enough when it is at 100% volume or not, what do u think?

Jefe should i buy airpods pro or pro 2

Some Have Said The ANC Of Bathys Is Right There With XM5

This is not a consumer product, more for the audiophile market, Focal fans will not mind buying another pair when the battery dies in 2 or 3 years because they can afford it.

The Sony killed the mic test in a noisy environment.

Was thinking of getting xm4, then tried momentum 4, and because of sound quality i ordered but haven't received yet. I've seen this online, but can't try in my country. Is there a real sound difference than m4? For me m4 is much more than xm4 or xm5. Will it worth that much? Since u ranked m4 after bathys, i think i will be happy with m4.

Focal probably first, Airpods are second, sony and momentum are mot even close. Just look at the frequency response measurement of all of these and everything is clear. 👍

Tryed them but went for the Bower & Wilkins PX8 for the better sound.

App looks a lot like Bose's - right?

Nice one 🇮🇪👏😎

Different DCA? Not Noire? Haha my bad…

Where does sound rank in comparative to the Edifier Stax S3?

Great Video . . . The SoundCore Q45 Destroys The XM5 For Sound Quality And They Look Better In Appearance And In Build Quality .

AirPods Pro 2 review eta wen?

master dynamic mw75 over this

These rather overrated, overhyped headphones were clearly tuned to a very specific sound, and unfortunately it is a veiled, dull sound. If you don't know the price of these, and you listen to them blind, you would think these are much cheaper.

How do they compare to H95 in sound quality? Thanks for the video @eljefereviews
