    PS VR 2 games Horizon Call of the Mountain: Not a super game but it feels polished, fun, and it's a real workout every time you play. 8/10 for me Hubris: Average game but jumping and moving around freely makes up for it. I love that you can swim by moving your arms and the underwater sections...

    Which headphones or IEMs are you currently using for gaming?

    Not end game, but I am happy with what I own for now. I use Focal Bathys or Meze Rai Solo for portable gaming, and any of my Focals when using a home console. Mostly use Bathys as I believe they are laid back but energetic enough for gaming, and could move to Clears or Elegia when I fancy it...

    Focal Elegia - what do you think?

    I agree. Have both and the Clears. Elegia when found at current low prices is a super deal. Bathys is still amazing though!

    Focal Bathys - Wireless ANC Over-Ear Headphone

    I use Focal Clear/Elegia with my Mojo2+Poly but I did try Bathys just for fun. Not 3.5mm though! The mconnect app I use was streaming music from Poly SD card and redirecting to my mobile. Bathys was just connected to it. As for DAC use, I do use Bathys 3.5mm to RME ADI-2 DAC FS most of times...

    RAI Penta -- Meze Audio's Flagship IEM with Penta Hybrid Driver Technology

    I am also not using my IEMs as much due to change in life and work patterns. But still love my RAIs! I find them relaxing and really enjoyable for something you stick in your ears - and great gaming companion when you do not fancy headphones.

    For those of us with multiple headphones, which ones are you listening with now?

    Just a very quick (but still enjoyable) PC > Bluetooth > Focal Bathys

    Focal Bathys - Wireless ANC Over-Ear Headphone

    I think you are right and depends on the source, but also on the connection type. I feel that my mobile and Steam Deck have good volume steps when in DAC-mode. 3.5 instead does have big steps (edit, actually also bluetooth). I generally use this mode with portable consoles or with the RME ADI 2...

    Focal Bathys - Wireless ANC Over-Ear Headphone

    I think an headband cover would be ideal, I use the Misodiko headband cover for both Focal Clear and Elegia (need to buy one for Bathys as well).

    Focal Bathys - Wireless ANC Over-Ear Headphone

    Mine does the same. I use silent mode all the time, soft mode when quickly speaking with someone.

    For those of us with multiple headphones, which ones are you listening with now?

    Mojo 2 + Poly paired with Cayin C9 is my main listening setup. I was interested in getting a Hugo 2 but wanted to keep the setup as much 'transportable' as possible, Mojo 2 can be detached making it smaller. I highly recommend this setup for people like me that have a small house, move around a...

    For those of us with multiple headphones, which ones are you listening with now?

    Gorillaz - Désolé (actually the entire Song Machine album) SD card > Chord Mojo 2 + Poly > Cayin C9 (Class A + NuTube) > Focal Clear OG Total bliss :L3000:

    Best game soundtrack?

    I absolutely agree, it's a fantastic soundtrack! I am kind of obsessed with 'Ascension'. Speaking of best soundtracks, Xenoblade Chronicles games have top tier soundtracks. This is the best battle theme for me:

    Console Gaming DAC Options

    I use an RME ADI-2 DAC FS connected via optical to the TV. This way I can use all my consoles and docked portables (Nintendo Switch and Steam Deck). It's ideal for me as I can use headphones, IEMs and speakers. Can also tailor EQ and adjust treble/bass when I want. ADI 2 can change the source...

    What is your favorite video game?

    I have completed many videogames. But the top 3 that easily come in mind are classics: - Brave Fencer Musashi - Final Fantasy IX - Super Mario 64 Not necessarily the best, but still love them like the first time. Replayed Musashi on Steam Deck last week, amazing!
