    Focal Bathys - Wireless ANC Over-Ear Headphone

    Ok, a few days into Bathys ownership and these things are growing on me exponentially. I have got them working perfectly in DAC mode from my MacBook Pro and iPad Pro via a bog standard USB C cable and wow do they sound good! Can’t honestly say whether it is just placebo, but they sound even...

    Focal Bathys - Wireless ANC Over-Ear Headphone

    Yeah the full screen volume slider in iPhone didn't work for me either, it slides a bit then the volume changes abruptly

    Focal Bathys - Wireless ANC Over-Ear Headphone

    Really interesting isn't it? The sound is very good. I think I prefer the sound signature of the bathys to the PX8. Everything else though, the PX8 are ahead for me.

    Focal Bathys - Wireless ANC Over-Ear Headphone

    Just got the bathys having recently bought the PX8. Hmmm not sure about them. Things I like so far include the definitely wider soundstage, greater detail resolution and slightly leaner (but not anaemic) bass. However, I find them far less comfortable than the PX8 on my head, I prefer the...

    Bowers and Wilkins PX8 Wireless Discussion

    I agree. Very good on the London Underground, even the horrible screechy jubilee line near Canary Wharf!

    Bowers and Wilkins PX8 Wireless Discussion

    I HATE the xm4s - the xm5s are a slight improvement but both of them absolutely pale in comparison the PX8s. I don’t think they’re muddy at all.

    Bowers and Wilkins PX8 Wireless Discussion

    So I’ve had my Px8 for a month now, and I do enjoy them, although they are far from “neutral”. I think the liveliness in the bass gives most of what I listen to a welcome boost. I also respect @Resolve and generally trust his measurements and opinions - so I’m hopefully going to get a pair of...

    CanJam London 2022 Impressions Thread (July 30-31, 2022)

    I tried it. Difficult to compare directly to the ADI-2 as that was hooked up to another computer (+listener). Sounded great though - same signature clean and neutral sound, features a balanced output too I think. The rep told me would probs be around £1600.

    That dCS stack is unbelievable. Should come with a warning. Can’t listen to my home system now 😂

    Sony WH-1000XM5 Wireless Noise Cancelling

    Yep totally agree. The XM5s sound a lot more balanced than the XM4 although not as good as APM in my opinion

    Sony WH-1000XM5 Wireless Noise Cancelling

    Hi All Early impressions of XM5 (cf AirPods Max - APM) I like the build quality of the XM5; they feel more premium than the XM4, certainly less creaky. It's still all plastic, but it feels as good as plastic gets. The lack of folding doesn't bother me too much. The case looks and feels nice...
