Price is back to $640 for Father's Day. So tempting.

Anyone noticed that the ANC has issues with steps impact/noise? It's like the ANC is trying to overcompensate and does a bassy plop. Really annoying. I haven't tested with closing train doors yet. But I suspect it will do something similar. This feels very much like a first gen ANC product with flaws the competition solved years ago. Disappointing.
I really like the sound though.
I have the feeling that in DAC mode the FR is changed. Sounds like it is adding more mids around 1-2khz?
Are there any measurements out in the wild of the DAC mode?

Yes, i can't walk with them on head becouse in every step they are change sound.
ANC in Bathys is definitely not class leading, but I think the problem you're describing has more to do with bone conduction/seal/shape of your head. I've had the same issue with PX8 with ANC off completely.

I'm certain that it's the ANC. In transparency mode it's not an issue.

I did the same. Hoping it will get Ldac support.

IMO more important than future LDAC will be the ability to turn off anc completely.
