Updated. The Dynamic EQ is definitely better than the original set of useless EQs, however, I still prefer my custom EQ which can bring out a bit more sound stage than dynamic.

Would you mind sharing your EQ settings?

It’s an opinion and matter of personal taste. Let’s leave it as such though I don’t disagree. It’s brighter and feels more transparent compared to Bathys for sure, but requires silence and this headphones are solving that too ( to a point) so really let’s compare apples to apples

Purely personal preference but here are my settings. I find it extends the highs a bit more than the dynamic EQ with the bass and mid-bass about the same.

62Hz -2.5
250Hz -2.0
1kHz +1.5
4kHz +1.0
16kHz +2.5

Whatever EQ you set when you're connected via Bluetooth on the app will carry through when you switch to DAC mode

It should also work with the 3.5mm input as well since everything on the Bathys goes through the internal DSP.

Digital Signal Processing.. basically every input type on the Bathy will go through this

I've been on the new FW now for a few days, and have been listening to them a lot.
Previously, I missed some excitement in the otherwise excellent sound signature of the Bathys and that's why I was tempted to try the PX8.
PX8 did provide the excitement, but the rest of the signature just sounded a bit 'off' when I got past the exciting part of the sound signature or into more complex music.

I was a little bit worried about this when going Bathys last week, and was mentally prepared to trade in some excitement for an overall more cohesive and 'correct' sound signature. But I should not have worried; this latest FW, together with the new Harman-target focussed EQ preset, adds just that little excitement that the Focal needed to my ears. I have to admit that this comes from memories of the old sound signature as I got the new FW instantly after unboxing, so my observation might be a bit skewed.

Anybody else noticed something similar?

The sound of the Bathys itself was not altered. Just the new EQ.

In that case, my memory must be playing tricks on me hehe
