Focal Bathys Hi-Fi Bluetooth & ANC Headphones: Early Impressions
So maybe a silly question, can this bathys be used for gaming. For instance iracing? I always doubted about buying the audeze mobius but this looks like a better choice. Is it ok for gaming?- Razza1974

can you compare it to u18t? I am looking for a new iem but only if it is really a big difference from what i already have (empyrean, utopia and u18t) cause it seems that i already have pretty diverse sound profiles with these So what is really a different sound than those mentioned above, also...- Razza1974

Thanks for the advice, hope to get a listen to Legend X and EVO indeed! But probably i should "listen more to the music and less to the headphones"- Razza1974

Nah, I do hear them as well with u18t, the other headphones are more coherent with this track. Sometimes u18t "deconstructs" the music a bit too much :)- Razza1974

I decided to relisten the parts, it is the opening seconds of this isn't the place (for instance seconds 15-20, here you here the dissonant piano and glitches going from left to right and setting up the atmosphere.

I know, I know, Always your own ears that make the final call.....I always wanted the LCD-4 for the bass, until I heard them back to back with the Utopia, and to my ears there is no better bass (in the sense of getting the feel of being at the cinema with a good bass system so that you can hear...- Razza1974

Yeah that's how think about these categorisations as well. A bit suprised about the above remark of the u18t being more dynamic than u12t, that for me is a very important aspect and i always thought (by reading many reviews of u12t) u12t was being regarded as more dynamic, That's something that...- Razza1974

Well that's what I mean, tuning of the u18t is bright, certainly not bassy and I think quite balanced, nothing is emphasized and some have refered to it as boring, i would not call it boring but certainly not mainstream. u12t is more bassy, more dynamic and adds more colour, less neutral...- Razza1974

Funny, surpised by youre categorising of the iems: u12t as reference and fourte as audiohile and u18t as mainstream. I always thought of the u18t as reference and u12t and fourte as more fun! But then again what is mainstream/reference/audiohile and what is not.........that's the question- Razza1974

Well i have got an u18t, and i like the sound of it, a lot of detail (and lacking a bit of bass but with the dark grey modules the bass improves). So the u18t is also fairly close to utopia then (cause i would think u18t and u12t are comparable (i know majority seems to think u12t is better than...- Razza1974

So I am hesitating a bit, to this date I have an Utopia (with Arche) and I love the sound, funny thing is I really like the bass of the Utopia with the Arche. I also have an Empyrean which i also like (but if i had to choose I would choose the Utopia, I like Utopia Bass (with Arche) better than...- Razza1974

Just got my u18t and i am quite happy with. Although I have heard a lot of comments that it is a bit boring sounding, i have to say I am really impressed. I was looking for an in ear counterpart to my utopia and i think i have found it. Not too much trebble, really enjoying it. I previously...- Razza1974

Hi all, I own the kann alpha for a few days now, to my surprise I saw that my internal storage is only 54,9 gb, not the 65 gb thats in the specs. 1.9 gb is taken up by contents (1002,3 mb) and 859.6 for system.

Meze EMPYREAN - the First Isodynamic Hybrid Array Headphone
For me the presets for the focal headphones dont do much, but the amp can be set to high or low gain and voltage or hybrid mode or you select a focal preset. So it isnt EQing them, you cant change EQ yourself. For me high gain and voltage (which should be best for IEMs I read somewhere) gives...- Razza1974

Well here is a further update on my comparisons Listening to more songs on the Kann Alpha, high gain output with the silver meze cables 4.4 and unbalanced 3,5 Utopia cables the difference between Utopia and Empyrean in bass is more or less gone and in some songs (for instance the peter gabriel...- Razza1974

Thanks for comparing, i just got the kann alpha and listen on 55 to 65 The comparison i made was on 25 on the arche and 65 on a Kann alpha. I hear the same issue on kann alpha: bass is more empasized om utopia then on empy on the same higher and lower volumes. Especially the jon hopkins tracks...- Razza1974

Meze EMPYREAN - the First Isodynamic Hybrid Array Headphone
This again a request for any Empy and Utopia owners Please compare on the same amplifier on both headphones the song Luminous Beings by Jon Hopkins. It is a very spaceous sounding song with a relaxed flowing bass undertone. In the first minutes the song gradually builds up with glitches and...- Razza1974

Meze EMPYREAN - the First Isodynamic Hybrid Array Headphone
Yeah i am going to compare if i am getting the chance. Again it does not sound bad, not at all, but.....compared to the utopia it is thinner, less involving and less defined (talking only about the bass). This is not what should be expected right?- Razza1974

Meze EMPYREAN - the First Isodynamic Hybrid Array Headphone
Yeah sure, i mean the feeling that youre listening to speakers, without being in the music. For me the utopias deliver such a kind of liveliness and space between the instruments that it really puts you in the music. When i was looking for headphones more than a year ago i wanted to be sure that...- Razza1974

Meze EMPYREAN - the First Isodynamic Hybrid Array Headphone
Still, to put the musings to rest - do you have the opportunity to listen to a different Empyrean (perhaps a demo unit at a retailer) or to yours with a different amp? That would explain if it's your HP/amp or if it is down to hearing preferences. The drivers don't even have to be "broken", they...- Razza1974
