Nice review Z. I got these when they came out, and I am over the moon with them. Likes - Best sounding BT cans I have ever heard, very nice build quality, around 30 hours of battery life per charge. Dislikes - No audible battery level indicator upon switching them on (you have to open the damn app .. REALLY Focal? In 2023? .. ), no IP rating, meaning if its spitting rain then these have to be put away, and they kinda pricey. What can be problematic with a proper set of cans (think Focal Utopia / Stellia etc) is you need to have all your gear to run them if you feel like venturing outside the house, i.e. a stack. Its not impossible, but its a bit unnecessarily ball achey. Enter Bathys, and problem solved for great audio on the go. They are not Utopias, but they blow anything mainstream out of the water quite comfortably. For any folks here looking to pull the trigger, I would suggest go for it, even at the kinda pricey RRP.

I owned these for a month and returned them. These have even more sibilance than the Celestee. They had a bit more bass which was nice for my tastes. Ultimately I returned these because you can't use them passively. Even when used with a wired connection, the device needs to have charge in order to use passively which defeats the purpose of using them wired when needed. Other Bluetooth wireless headphones like the Sony wh1000xm4 for example you could use passively if the battery dies.

One of the most engaging reviews I have ever watched and I love your passion and honesty and anoyance regarding what you don’t like. I have these headphones and I absolutely love them and at the moment for the bluetooth only element only which I believe is touching upon hi res audio to my ears. I have had high end DAPs previously from the Sony gold brick, Astell and Kern AK240 to Lotto Paw Gold used with $2000 iems eg from Peter at Double Helix Cables and others. So these daps and iems were from about 7 years ago but they still did not fulfill what I wanted and I think I just wanted to expect my music to sound better every time I used the headphones and devices because I had invested so much into them. It did not happen for me so I stopped listening until now. Anyway I got these Bathys and I played via bluetooth my downloaded from Qobuz the album of Neil Young’s Harvest from 7 years ago and it was beautiful to hear, it was much clearer and his voice was so Neil Young. I do really rate the Focal Bathys.

@carljones982 Жыл бұрын
Heyo Z, I have these too. DAC via USB-C does not charge the headphone. Quite like them but have some gripes. THE BAD: I don't think the microphone on these is good (infact it is awful), and I think the 'transparent' mode is absolutely dreadful. The transparent mode sounds like constant hissing, but isn't transparent enough to actually hear things over the sound of anything you are playing. You definitely cannot have an office conversation with it. But I do like both of the ANC options. I actually went back and forth with the Focal and Naim customer support thinking it was broken, before eventually going back to the shop and testing other units to see if my unit was broken out of the box or that is just how it sounds. It is just how it sounds. But the shop guy (not an employee of Focal and Naim) tried to claim I also needed to let the mic array burn in just like a speaker before it really works, and I had to hold back a powerful laugh. It has been a month, the transparent mode still sounds awful and I absolutely could not have a conversation with it or enjoy music with it, despite it being in the manual. It needs tuning, and rethinking. The mic is also bad for phonecalls, I will just use the phone mic, or if on a PC the mic I have on my PC. It sounds better. The mic is just rubbish and not worthy of being in an $800 piece. They could maybe even stand to lose some of the pricetag and weight of the unit by just not including a microphone in future updates to the model if they do that. It is just not worth using. I prefer turning off the light, because I don't like looking like a Christmas tree going on my weekly shop or commute however it has a tendency to just turn itself on when I turn the headphones on, and I find the app is unreliable for actually controlling things whenever you reconnect the headphones. If I'm wearing $800 headphones out and about, I absolutely do not want to be drawing attention to them being on my head and get them jacked. There needs to be a button, or possible interaction via the existing buttons, to just turn off the lights because if I am out and about, turn on the headphones and reconnect them via bluetooth then I absolutely do not want to be messing with their weird, unresponsive app. The jack input sound is just bad like you say. I am either running wireless (almost all the time), or USB-C. The 3.5mm is just not $800, and yes, the cable feels terrible and is just too small. For $800, I would expect them to be like... giving you more than 2 cables, and nicer ones. A cable you use with your phone on the go, and a cable you need when sitting at the PC have different design needs. One needs to be short and discrete, the other needs to be longer. I should not have to reorganise my PC layout to use your packed in cable for an expensive headphone. THE GOOD: They sound pretty damn good. You say this too, and I agree. I'm happy with the sound for a $800 pitch. USB DAC sounds great. Do NOT plug them into your own DAC imo, that does not sound great and infact sounds blown the fuck out and awful no matter what, especially via 3.5mm. The internal DAC is good though. The battery, like you mention, is insane. If you charge it for just 10m, it actually charges for hours worth of power which is good in a rush. Kinda nutty. I do find the battery level alert a bit disconcerting and wish it was possible to tune those via settings in the app somehow - let me tell it to only play them at self picked thresholds. The pre-programmed ones are not super useful, because if the battery like you say lasts over 24 hours of constant play (and it definitely does for me too these go days without charge on intermittent use), then getting an alert at like 10% when you still have like 3 hours of battery is not great. You will forget that. The ANC is great. I don't know much about your comparisons, but I find it is far more than enough to get me by. I will sometimes take it off on the train just to wow myself with how much noise is cancelled. The pressure you feel with ANC on is higher than most other ANCs I have used before and takes some getting used to though, but it sounds good and you will get used to it. I love the build quality. Not the visual design - that is Focal and is down to taste. On tastes though, I do like how this pair isn't nightmarishly ugly like some Focal colourways being just a silver and grey (the navy and bronze of the Celestees is a nightmare visually). But really, it's about how sturdy they feel. I do not look after these headphones. They feel strong enough and sturdy enough that I don't need to, I can just use them without worry of losing a ton of money. I buy expensive headphones on build first, sound later and these are definitely good in both departments but the build is just stellar. The pads are fantastic too, they are never uncomfortable even for someone like me with jug ears.

After owning mine for 2 weeks: Transparency mode is useless, you can't hold a conversation with someone while having audio playing on the headphones. (You can with APM, Sony XM4, XM5 and Sennheiser M4s) Build quality is shit for $800, my $180 Momentum 4s that I bought on closeout are built better than this. Only the yokes and pads are good on Bathys and the headband creates a pressurepoint. The app is useless even when you get it to run, it'll crash or not connect to the bathys 90% of the time. The light will turn on randomly even if it's turned off in the app and the equalizer can't do anything about the awful 8k on these so you have to use something like wavelet to control it. Cables are crap. That being said I love the sound of it. Focal have stated they can replace the batteries so atleast it won't be a future paperweight.

Had these for 2 days - so I won’t comment on the sound quality but the features and build quality instead. The build quality is okay…it feels like a €300 headphones. There is plastic incorporated into the build which would be fine…but the headband features plastic fused with glue directly to the metal (to carry the wire from one earcup to the other) - within 1 day the plastic was starting to separate from the metal. There is just no excuse for this, hence I returned them. To me , the AirPods Max may be a better choice + some wired cans. If you want a Bluetooth headphone the AirPods tix most boxes (aside from the case and charging situation) + they bleed less noise and have proper features. I like the Bathys but they’re nothing special, I found that after 30mins my jaw hurt/ ears. Not the most comfortable headphones at all (for me)

I am returning these. These headphones distort above 70% volume. Sometimes about 60% of volume. Depending on what you're listening to. Don't believe me. Try to listen to some old school hip hop at 100% volume. Particularly when you try to adjust the EQ that's when it really happens. It doesn't happen much on r&b music as long as you keep the equalizer on normal but try to do anything else and it's going to distort. And it has been talked about on some forms about these headphones. But I've experienced it first hand. Very disappointing for a pair of $800 headphones. My Sennheiser doesn't do that. The Sony XM5 don't do that. And they are half the price of these headphones.

They even put out a video where the CEO says the engineers told him not to use their current design for wireless, and he proudly says he told them, make it work. Hence the full time ANC/DSP. Not worth more than $400. Looks like a kid's toy with blinking lights. Should have called it the Tonka. Velour lint magnet under the headband. No head detection when removed from head. The B&W Px8 is much better. I ended up with the Mark Levinson 5909. The 5909 is the real deal. All I wanted was the best ANC for travel the use my Gryphone for MQA at my hotel. But no. the Tonka full time ANC/DSP does not allow full provenance to pass through so CD quality only. POS! Love your videos! Hope to meet you and Can Jam NYC in Feb. I live in Jersey. Cheers!

Momentum 4’s are overrated asf IMO, they may be Sennheier but the tonal balance especially in the bass is unacceptable.

Have them and they are amazing compared to most other BT headphones...which they should be regarded as. Sorry, but your"review" has too many "don´t knows" etc. If you are going to review a product, at least do your homework.

I dont know about the looks, the sides give me trypophobia vibes a little too much for my taste.

This headphone is overrated, overhyped, and TBH the frequency response is unforgivable. I don't know why audiophiles don't seem to care about the horrendous dips in the FR and there are a lot of apologists of this clearly inferior measurable performance. And listening tests clearly show these dips, if one's REALLY listening and not hyping. Reputable speaker makers seems to release mediocre headphones... Focal and B&W, yes you. It would have been ok if you're not asking exorbitant prices for your underperforming "flagships".

Don't think people want to be seen with an $800 pair of cheese graters on their heads. Or shower heads.

I couldn’t agree more, I really don’t understand how people praise the design of these. The holes on the sides of the cups are dreadful.
