@@heydeonhere 📈📈📈if I get enough requests ill do it!!

These headphones are not directed at Audiophiles! They are for the mass market, those who want an engaging and fun listen not a neutral uncolored sound. That being said, the Focal Bathys are an absolute rip off for ANC headphones you can buy much better sounding wired Focals for less money. Who as an audiophile purchases ANC Bluetooth headphones for sound quality. What you have done is bought a name, the ANC is worse the “subjectively” better sound quality isn’t worth the money. They are not portable. I have the Focal Clear MG, that is a significant step up from the XM5 but it’s wired and paired with high end audio equipment. I have tried the Bathys, the bass can’t exactly be described as tight and the treble was way too sharp lacking the tonal balance of the XM5 for a relaxing listen while traveling or working. I own several high end wired headphones and several pairs of ANC headphones to accommodate my work and travels. I auditioned the Bathys and consider them the worst value ANC headphones on the market. I guess that’s why you are trying to justify your purchase in this comments section. You’re not an audiophile if you think the Bathys are offering you any benefit in this comparison other than a lighter wallet. Come on then Mr Audiophile what technical capabilities in sound don’t the Sony’s have vs the Bathys?

@@ThuderDuck saying you’re not an audiophile if I think bathys are offering you any benefit is not true lol. Usually it’s already known fact that most consumers use XM5 or AirPods Max . Anyways , your focal clear mg like u said , it’s a wired headphone. We are talking wireless here . So you’re saying that u are not an audiophile if bathys offering any benefit? It does … sound .. as compared to xm5. Xm5 is dark in the treble , the bass is bloated and boomy . Yes u can eq but it’s not that detailed . That’s my subjective opinion. I have equipment that cost way more than your clear MG like the Warwick acoustic bravura or the Diana TC and other stuffs. We are talking wireless here . Don’t get carried away . Like I said , it’s my subjective opinion in sound .

Good call

@@nurmbms90 congratulations on having more expensive headphones than me, I buy then based on the sound quality not the price. I’m saying that the Bathys amongst their peers are not good value, that something that works better as an ANC headset is what you should purchase if you want noise canceling and if you want a good Focal headphone buy a cheaper non ANC one. Because the Bathys don’t do Focal headphones justice in the sound quality department and they are not competitive with their peers in the ANC market. They do a mediocre job of the two things that other products do better for their individual use cases whereas I feel the majority of people wearing APM and XM5 don’t really need ANC, most people are wearing them in the house or jogging or walking on the high street where you should be listening to your surroundings. And googling 15k worth of headphones just to say you have more expensive gear than someone is pathetic. I mentioned the MG because I was drawing a comparison not name dropping stuff based on its price!!! I listened to the MG because some said it was as good as the HD800. I found the warmer sound more suited to my listening hence why I purchased them, going any higher up the price ladder them the diminishing returns are likely non existenst. And I believe it won’t be long before we actually get a completely lossless audio codec so am wary of spending in the next year or two on something else.

@@nurmbms90 I buy for sound quality, not so I can say I have expensive gear. Googling two very expensive items and saying you have them doesn’t give your opinion any more clout. Just makes you come across as petty. I have cheap headphones I have expensive ones I used the Focals as an example as they were mentioned in the discussion.

Which are the first three?

bose qc ultra do have better anc and transparency mode howver they are much more expensive

What’s # 1 2 and 3 for sound quality

@@truthteller2711 Not necessarily in this order, (their flagship noise-cancel headsets. not earbuds): Bose, Apple, Sennheiser

I would personally get the silver! Holds up much better with fingerprints!

@@victordia099 will there be high maintenance in silver? For long term purpose?

@@roshanahuja1590 To be honest no I dont think so. Just as long as you take minimum care of them you should be fine

@@victordia099 the silver once are like cream colour or beige or like whitish?

Because i saw in many videos that sometimes i see white, sometimes grays and sometimes off white. Im literally so confused, if its exactly showing in sony picture so i would consider silver. Please suggest me the best colour.

The new ones might come out sometime later in 2024 so I guess well have to wait and see

What about sweating? I'd want to order xm5 but never use headphones, using airpods pros for 4-5 years now and have some concerns about sweating. I live in Istanbul and the weather usually between 15-35.

@@enescalskan3985 they will be fine if you are using them in the cold it wont ruin them and with sweating i use them for the gym they will be fine, if you have black xm5s it wouldnt matter if you sweat because the ear muffs are black so it wont yellow

They sound great dont even worry about it

I think the headband is fine it’s pretty comfortable

@@victordia099 I'm thinking of buying them should I go for it

Canadian dollars
