I’ve misplaced my Bathys headphone case. Is there a way to get another? I can’t find any information. My Bathy’s ear cups are also a little worse for wear, there’s a scratch on one side that’s shaved away some of the leather. Hard to say how it happened but the absent case and the damage have...

Bit of an unusual pairing but I'm enjoying the Bathy's with the Creative Soundblaster X5 dac and their bluetooth dongle. The cool thing about the dac is that the USB host port at the back supports the Bathys directly as well as the creative w4 bluetooth dongle which provides a nicer nice...

I ordered this device to use with my PC & PS5 setup alongside my LCD GX. I'll post my thoughts when I receive it.

Does anyone know how these compare to the Audeze Maxwell? Because the only two headphones I own now are the Focal Bathys and the Audeze LCD GX and the GX are night and day, worlds ahead in quality above the Bathys. Detail, speed, soundstage and so forth. When I'm at home, I feel there's not a...

Yeah I guess I can see younger people seeing it like that. There was another guy that spoke to me in an art gallery that said he really liked the look of them. A bit unexpected because otherwise I’m not there type of person that gets stopped for compliments. Sometimes people stop and talk...

I was stopped twice while touring Edinburgh by people asking about the Bathys. An employee in the botanical garden gift shop said… “Damn those headphones look good! I bet they are good right? They’re expensive?” He went on to tell me he had grados at home but he’d never seen the Bathys. I told...

I think factory has too much bass for most music and I'm pretty happy with the midrange where it is. I do have an EQ with them bumped up by one or two DB though. I think if I push the mids as far as your eq then it actually gets a bit unpleasant and siblant.

No problem glad you figured it out. The user shouldn't have to manually sort things like this out, so I don't blame you for 'being lazy'. Focal should do a better job making sure it's consistently presented to all users. I bet there are a lot of folks using their device that don't have the...

It should just prompt you with an update in the app. If it doesn't then try to update the app.

How do people find the new EQ? It's interesting compared to the others because it doesn't tell you specifically how they've adjusted the EQ. I would suspect this might be either... a) the EQ is adjusted beyond the 5 band settings that we have available to us and they can't visualise that within...

It's still going to depend heavily on what your 3.5mm source is, right? On my laptop directly, it sounds bad, maybe worse than BT, but on my Zen DAC I think it's very acceptable, if not as good as USB-C. The only use case I actually have for 3.5mm is plugged into the Switch or PS5 controller...

I wouldn't worry about it. I was explaining it to someone else a few pages back, it's not that intuitive. But yeah like he said, you can't hear these headphones without their DAC, so you've always been evaluating how good the DAC is. That doesn't mean to say 3.5mm is bad though, perhaps that...

Since this post and my last one mine has progressed 8%. I did do everything it said not to though, locked my phone, suspended the app, and even turned off the headphone just to test what would happen and it just prompts you to reconnect, no disaster.

What's your experience with the update? Mine is going at 1% per minute. The phone is connected via wireless at 500 mbs so It's not a bandwidth issue. The app also states that it needs you to keep the device unlocked and the app can't stay in the background? That seems quite hard to do for an...

I actually thought that too when looking at Sony's headphones and things like that, but Steelseries is owned by GN Store Nord which is really not a huge company like Sony. Steelseries itself has 370 employees compared to Focals 220. How did they figure all of that out for their gaming...

I agree with what you're saying. Honestly I think for me personally it would take something really special and sustainable in this space for me to want to spend £1200 anyway. The fixed batteries in these headphones at that price are inappropriate. As well as being into higher end audio I also...

I believe Resolve talks about this and measuring for this and found that they do not cross feed. https://forum.headphones.com/t/focal-bathys-wireless-hifi-headphones-with-active-noise-cancellation-official-discussion-thread/18861/143

Just on this I didn't mean to say that the sound quality is worse on the go. Obviously both of them have worse audio quality on the go because the audio you can push to them is more limited, but what I mean is that Focal are very focused on having the experience remain constant irrespective of...

I saw this video on my feed and I really enjoyed it but I can't help but feel that because the headphones are being handed to them first they really colour their perceptions of the sound. It's like being fed 5 different burgers in a 'blind' test but one of them is clearly inside of a cardboard...

I think so, the ability to just plug them in via the USB and have high quality sound is fantastic. They sound great on the go too but the way they offer the option to use their DAC via USB C means you can take them to spaces like the office and use them with higher resolution sources without...

Tried these against the Bathy's and I think they sound nice but it would be impossible to justify the price. Compared to the Bathy's I'd say they sound very similar but they have a smaller soundstage and less bass. So the tonality is a little different but not objectively better or worse and you...

You can use a Vmoda book pro cable for wired mode or you can use one of the Antlion mics to add a usb mic. I have an antlion mic but I would not clip it to this because the big silver notch that it grips to is a little ugly. I just clip the antlion wireless mic to my shirt and that works...

The most noticable delay that I observe is actually on menus and things that are expected to have an extremely immediate response. I imagine you wouldn't be able to tell from footsteps in competitive shooters because the delay on the footstep feedback isn't aligned with a visual cue. As in, you...

For the people asking about PS5 compatibility, there really are no good options for using the Bathys on PS5. You can't get the best audio quality out of the system because you're either connecting via bluetooth or via 3.5mm which is only going to offer decent quality if you're pushing it through...

I think wear in really is a significant thing. The properties of material change with heat, friction and moisture and that really does affect the comfort of things in a way that's often very obvious. You're right about shoes but it also happens with things like earpads, they get softer as they...
