New iOS / iPad App update with new firmware (1.5.1). Downloaded. There is a new "Dynamic" EQ preset. Text says it mimics the Harmon curve. Need to listen more to make a judgement.

Just installed it. Does anybody know what the new "SideTone" option in the headphone settings means?

Could someone please share the change log? Cannot find it anywhere

There's this in the Play Store, but it only says "dynamic EQ" and "sidetone setting". And the latter probably means hearing your own voice in phone calls (nice addition, had to use the transparency mode for that before).

I can't find any info on this sidetone setting. I don't see a setting in the App.

Dynamic is better than the the other settings or what I could get with the EQ. The midrange is more present and the headphone are better balanced in dynamic setting. I still feel there is quite a lot of room for improvement in the midrange, but it is a decent improvement compared to where they were.

No LDAC in this firmware update, which is not surprising as something that big would have been in the release notes.

Hello, where can I find the new Dynamic EQ Setting? Or ist it only for IOS Users?

Thanks

I love the sound signature of the Bathys. It's more fun and 'commercial' if that makes sense, not analytical and I like it. They're my on the go headphones so I just want fun listening.

How do they compare to your LCD-2?

No, can’t see anything sidetone related either

There was a new update on IOS today with Dynamic EQ setting so probably available or on the way for other platforms as well.

I've seen it on my Xperia phone.
The new dynamic EQ preset reminds me of Bathys on early firmware that sound quite analytical and harsh. EQ off sounds fuller and smoother.

The Dynamic EQ setting doesn’t appear to be implemented on my version of the Android app - at least on Android 13. The sidetone option is there but appears to default back to “off” after selecting it. The app dark mode looks quite good, it’ll suit when I want to turn Bathys leds to ‘off’ lol. The current presets are carried over to the new App which is welcome, but if you want to access the new Dynamic EQ option you have to remove all existing app data and settings (by deleting and reinstalling the app I guess). My initial early listening impressions are the sound for both BT and wired mode, especially wired mode, is better with this update - my comparison reference is the Clear MG with Forza cables and Questyle M15 DAC - and this new update brings Bathy‘s sound closer to these IMO. I’m expect the measurements gang will have more on this front. All in all, a progressive update but Bathys still needs (and has room for) better ANC and LDAC implementations.

No "Dynamic" setting for me on Android either.

The Sidetone setting is a check mark in the cogwheel menu.

would you mind sharing screenshots showing Dynamic EQ on Sony Android? The current presets are carried over to the new App which is welcome.

what is the sidetone option? it's not in the iOS version.

From what I was able to find, "sidetone" in ANC context means that you can hear your voice on calls even with ANC engaged. But I haven't tested yet if it indeed works on Bathys.

Here is what Dynamic EQ looks like in iOS
