You pointed to the text so you can read it for yourself. There is no inconsistency with what I wrote on the ST and the comparison I made here. Based on my experiences with you in other threads you will just try to argue and argue and argue to no end. E.g. you hated the PX8, but kept posting and posting and posting in that thread. Either you accept that other people have different experiences and values than you have or you can spend your time trying to get a reaction out of people in threads about headphones you don't like. I'm not going to waste my time arguing with someone that can't accept other peoples viewpoints and experiences while thriving on posting negative posts in a forum.

Just to chime in here and say I appreciated your thoughts, particularly when they’re limited out there at present for the MG.

And I certainly don’t have time for systematically trying to pick apart point-by-point someone who’s taken the time to voice their opinion. So on a more positive note, thanks again for sharing.

I don't have a problem at all with you if you think the MG is the best sounding ANC headphone -- the same is true for people thinking others headphone are the best. And don't have a problem if you personally like very much the PX8 either.

I have a problem with exaggerations, misinformation and disinformation from you or from others people, even more when they're using a lot of 'impressive'/fancy audio terminology for their exaggerations, misinformation and disinformation. What you see in the PX8 thread is a different story, a thread with seriously massive fanboys, the evidence very clearly showing in how they respond to the multiple headband issues that many people reporting.

No one likes when someone is talking down to them and sounding elitist, it takes on a negative tone. That may be your personality or not but that is how it is received. Giving criticism and opinions are fine as long as you are not sounding like you are scolding children. We are all adults here and are learning from each other.
If someone mentions something that you know is wrong it's fine to point it out, just do it in a friendly manner is all.
We are all here for the same thing, to enjoy the hobby.

After one week with the Bathys MG, I finally 100% decide returning this headphone today (I must paying return shipping cost). The truth is that in last few days I don't using very much because every time I using the MG for 30-60 minutes, I have the same problems that I mentioning already.

For me, my present favourite headphone (for the last 8 months), the H100, is a clear preference in several aspects than the Bathys MG --- is a big pity that only yesterday B&O increasing the price of the H100 from 1500 EUR to 1700 EUR (from $1550 to $1850 in USA).

Curiously, even when I prefer the fit and the comfort of the new MG earpads, this earpads making my ears hot soon and causing sweating in less than 30 minutes, at only 22 degrees Celsius (!). About the sound, I continue with my surprise of not being impressed like I anticipating, but this, like I saying before, is very probably because of my experience in the last 1.5 years with the Dali iO-12 and then the H100.

Because the H100 is terribly expensive now, and is very hard for me recommending this headphone for the current price, I strongly suggest that people following this thread, that maybe want finding better sound quality, that they investigate the very excellent Dali iO-12 that (right now) cost 1000 EUR in Europe and $1300 in USA.

Hold on, There are still plenty of shops outside of B&O that still advertise the old price at 1499 euros. Just saying
