Been toying with the idea of flogging my Bathys for a while now. Probably best to do it before the new version comes out and the price of mine goes through the floor.

I doubt very much that the hardware has changed - only a new colour option as far as I'm aware.

I'm actually pleased you told me as I was thinking of applying leather conditioner sometime soon...

And there I was thinking it was real leather. I wish you hadn't said this as it will probably annoy me now.

Yeah I have done this, hence why I'm convinced the personalisation switches off in DAC mode.

You can't access the app in DAC mode.

My hearing must be poor as the personalisation makes a big difference for me. This is how I notice the change when in DAC mode.

Can anyone say categorically that the Mimi sound personalisation carries through when in DAC mode? I know people say it should, but I'm convinced that it doesn't.

Total game changer for me and my cr*p hearing.

Congratulations on a great choice. I have a heavy step so maybe the thudding is me, not the Bathys. I highly recommend trying the Mimi personalisation in the app. Enjoy your new cans!

By the time the battery is kaput the technology will probably be defunct or there will be much better bluetooth options available at least, so I wouldn't let that be a consideration personally.

You can never go wrong with black in my opinion. I've bought headphones in beige/cream before and always tend to regret it after a while.

I agree they're not the best for walking - strange thudding sound comes from your footsteps which is a bit disconcerting. For me the ANC is fine though, not as good as Sony but not bad at all. If you decide against Bathys, I wouldn't opt or Sony personally. PX8 is a great commuter headphone and...

Same for me, I'm now hearing instruments in higher pitches that were hidden previously. It's cool that you can change it in real time so you know you're not imagining the improvement.

It's certainly great for me and the difference I'd not subtle. I'm guessing the impact will vary based on how the Bathys fit your head. The improvement on mine is so significant that I assume I have quite a poor fit and so mimi is making big changes to accommodate this.
