ANC completly off and ldac would both be great

Won‘t happen, guys. Also ANC is „linked“ to the DSP of the headphones.

But on the sennheiser momentum it was possible to use the dsp without anc on. One can dream

But I have to say, in dac mode with a usb c connection, it’s a really good headphone.

I only listen to them that way!

I like watching movies via Bathys, they like high end soundbar.

Really hope LDAC Will be supported

I know it has been mentioned on this thread but without having to track down, what is the best way to connect to my iPhone 14 Max Pro in DAC mode?
Would this work?

Thanks.

Never mind, I have the camera adapter and that works great, I just need a different cable.

I agree. Exceeded my expectations

Well I got mine, unfortunately it has a very loud ring on the right cup.

Can't used them.

Not normal. You need to return

Mine were delivered on Friday. I am super impressed with them. I had a few questions that may have been answered.

Using in DAC mode, connected to Windows 11, everything works well but the volume doesn't seem correct.
On first install, it sets the volume in Windows to 100% and sounds loud but not as loud as using my B&W P7s with a Dragonfly Red.
I didn't expect to be able to turn the volume past 40% but these are 90% and I could go more.
The only thing I did was go into sound settings and set it 24/192. Not sure there is anything else to do.


Dumb question, if I wanted to use another DAC, I still have to turn on the DAC mode on the headset?

Well, this thread seemed to have slowed so I did my own research.
Still having odd "volume not loud enough" issues but I'll keep working on it.
The DAC is (of course) always on, I can use another DAC but just adds another conversion.
Thanks.

A question I asked on r/Headphones but someone may know here...

I use the my Bathys as a DAC with my iPad Pro (latest M1 model).
In Amazon Music HD, it is only listing capability of 24/48.
On my iPhone 14 Pro Max, with camera adapter, it properly lists 24/192.
The only difference is, I installed the Focal app on the phone which shouldn't be needed on the iPad because I don't use bluetooth.

I have to send my Focal Bathys back. It is simply too small for my head, I would need at least one further click of headband extension. I find this quite strange! Never happened before with any headphone.

I can see how this is an issue. I need to fully extend the headband. Then it just fits right. They should really have added a bit more extension.
