I'm here to leave my 2 cents regarding USB cables. The only place in my entire Audio devices where I use a USB cable is with my headphones - Focal Bathys (in USB DAC mode). I wanted to replace the stock cable as soon as I got the headphones - not because it sounded bad or anything, but because...

+ I want to add one more thing. Regarding enhancing the sound quality, I also bought an iFi iSilencer+ usbc to usbc to try out. This was much easier to AB test than swapping cables. I observed 0 differences in sound, so I returned it. I think it's down to a) my 2023 Dell XPS laptop being really...

So I have a few thoughts, a "Review" of sorts, after 4 weeks of owning the Focal Bathys: 1) Sound. As far as DRIVERS (be them speaker or headphone) are concerned, burn-in is real, very real. It depends on the material of the driver how strong the impact is, but that's another discussion. After...

Thank you - exactly what I suspected. It is what it is. The restarts really take away from my listening pleasure. I'm enjoying them much more without it, so having everything at 16 bit 44.1khz on tidal is more than good enough for me.

Hey Guys - just wondering, would there be ANY benefit in using an iSilencer+ for USB headphones that have DAC built in? I'm talking about something high end (for nc/usb headphones) like the Focal Bathys.

is anyone else having an issue with the Bathys used in exclusive mode in Tidal (Windows app) via USB, where randomly, after around 5-15minutes of playback, the Bathys disconnect and then reconnect? Most of the times I have to relaunch Tidal to get it to play through the headphones again? This...

I'm reposting this issue i'm having - maybe i'm not the only one: is anyone else having an issue with the Bathys used in exclusive mode in Tidal (Windows app) via USB, where randomly, after around 5-15minutes of playback, the Bathys disconnect and then reconnect? Most of the times I have to...

What of it? You can listen as you like, however the Mimi basically compensates for your hearing in relation to the "correct" sound, taking into account, of course, the Bathys native raw tuning. Adjusting frequencies on top of that is at the user's discresion, and we each might like different...

*deleted*

The whole point of the mimi is to adjust the EQ in respons to areas of the sound frequency where it finds you have deficiencies (need a boost) based on the hearing test. It offers a sound corrected for your ears. It's definitely off when the test is running. Turning it on or adjusting it with...

I don't know about isolation from the point of view of NC when in transit. I know what I listened to in a session at a hi-fi store. I owned the PI7s2 (in ear) B&Ws (horrible connection issues, had to return them) so I made sure that the setting were right in my already installed B&W app on my...

Does anyone have any idea why this dumb bug happens and what's the solution? I mean it's the Android system itself that asks for permission to grant exclusive right to Tidal.

Hey Guys, I've had 2 issues with the Bathys so far, I'm on the latest version: a) is anyone else having an issue with the Bathys used in exclusive mode in Tidal (Windows app) via USB, where randomly, after around 5-15minutes of playback, the Bathys disconnect and then reconnect? Most of the...

Hey ! Thanks for sharing my thoughts from another Bathys-related thread! Zdzichron - I don't doubt that if you go out there and just purchase the PX8 you won't be disappointed AT ALL. But my 2 cents are my 2 cents. For me, there was a very clear difference across the board when comparing them...

Well, I just bought the Bathys 5 days ago and I'm delighted, plus I have some honest insight in Bathys vs PX8 (and also vs Radiance and Celestee) Context: I had over the ear headphones in the past, but switched to IEMs around 3 years ago. I had some Sonys (forgot the model, dynamic driver +...
