I believe the release notes are in the Focal/Naim app.

Very interesting. My Mac has never done that.

It's unfortunate but it happens. It's usually a bad batch where something wen wrong but couldn't be detected by QC. As long as it doesn't happen again I would worry about it.

If I didn't just pick up the Focal Bathys I'd get these as a second pair. Oh, well... very nice find though and thanks for sharing.

My initial usage's at work in my office (it was dead silent) and someone walked in and didn't hear what I was listening to until I took them off while the music was still playing. So I would have to strongly disagree with that high sound leakage statement.

Wired is always better than wireless but at the same time you can't compare the two. It's an Apples to oranges comparison that doesn't add up.

That's odd, I haven't experienced that type of issue and I'm using the Bathys with a 13 Pro Max with a iOS beta. If you pause it, it should stay connected. Just need to see if that happens with my setup since this is only day 4. So, I literally just turned mine on and it automatically connected...

Just picked one up earlier today at my local Audio46. Nice place BTW. Anyway, I haven’t owned a set of headphones in more than two decades. Played a few songs from both my DAP and iPhone once I got to work to test out the sound better (did so in the store also but needed to be in a more relaxed...

I have to disagree with that. If you love sound and that is a primary factor, you will buy the best headphones you can afford wired or wireless. If you don't like wireless headphones then that's your choice and you don't have to buy them. Comparing wired headphones to wireless headphones is an...

It may not be that something went wrong. Focal may have just chosen to not implement backwards compatibility. Manufacturers get to chose which BT codec they will support and how it's implemented in their produces.

That was an awesomely generous give-a-way.

How much longer is the battery life and how long does it now take to fully charge?

Try formatting one on a computer first. Also have you tried turning the device off then on again. Maybe even a soft reset. If it reads on your computer then it’s not the cards but a software issue.

IP ratings are selling points to print on a box to convey to the consumer it’s been certified to do something. It doesn’t make a device without an IP rating any less capable of the same task. They are also minimal standards and most are tested to withstand far more than the stated IP rating...

I have a Kann Cube paired with the SE846 and it's a great combination. The Cube will handle any headphone.

Yeah, I totally get that depending on the flaws. There are always minor things one can over look as appose to others that you can't. For example, I never had a problem with the Cube, but initially it was a slow compared to my phone but nothing I could honestly complain about. It got slower after...

Unfortunately, Android still doesn't do well with that amount of RAM which is why Andriod phones require 6-8 GB to operate better. The 5GHz wifi is another story that I'm not that sure of but I do know it does draw significantly more power than 2.4GHz which does play a factory in which one...

All products are displayed in their “best light” when you think about it. When you go to a store to listen to speakers or headphones for example they are already calibrated or placed in a special area or the specific tracks are played to give the best sound. Then, when you go home it sounds...

its possible but since WiFi is can be such a finicky thing it's difficult to tell from the posts here. But also since there are so many I think that maybe a lot of defective units unfortunately, made it out the door.

I get that but for me it would still have gone back. No one should have to wait on a company to fix issues with a brand new product; especially a premium product such as this which is suppose to be on equal footing with the Cube but with a few changes and improvements. Seeing how the wifi...

Maybe so but if I buy something and it does not work as it is suppose to I'm sending it back for a refund regardless of what I paid for it. I don't waste money like that.

The problem with many reviews isn't always the sponsored part (although, that does play a big part as bad reviews may keep you from getting more stuff later) but also that those review units aren't always the production model (sometimes it's a pre-production or worse a specially produced or...

I completely agree with you. Shure takes the slow and steady road to create a great sound that lasts over time unlike the offerings of other companies.

Nice work

To each his own. I think the DSP is fine but maybe I'll give it a try.
