Better for travel XM5 or Bathys?

I've never tried this. Based on the information given by Toomuch, I would say no. Since it's Teams/Zoom, I would use the bluetooth connection on your PC because it's not like you're going to get the best audio anyway. You can still the USB to power/charge the blathys.

I agree; bluetooth is your best bet. I'm pretty sure that it would have to go into "headset" mode which would, in turn, reduce your sound quality as well unfortunately.

I've used the bathys usb connected to my laptop on teams call just fine. Turn on transparency mode so you can hear yourself a bit.

I agree the pervious post on this. Sony has one of the better ANC. If you're wanting very quite ANC, Sony would be better. If you're wanting a better sound experience, Focal would probably be a better choice. Focal ANC works alright by comparison.

I don't think many people Bathys for their ANC. They wanted something with great sound (ie the Focal sound), easier to travel, and more convenience. They also like there was some kind of ANC, even though it was reported to not be the best (ie average). Their ANC is pretty good at not changing the sound too much, unlike many of the better ANC headphones.

Why the Huawei P30 doesn't recognize Bathys dac either with UAPP or Roon Arc? Thanks

Just got my Bathys. Had to do a firmware update right away and it seems to be taking a very long time. The download only took about 7-10 minutes, but has been stuck on "installing new firmware" now for about 30 minutes. Is this normal or did something get stuck?

You could try to abort and start over. I had to do it.

Is anyone aware of whether addition of LDAC support is on the roadmap for a future firmware update? I have ordered Bathys but that was a hesitation point as IMO LDAC is the optimal codec with my DAC.

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

Hi, I've had the most recent firmware but cannot see the dynamic eq feature. Guessing I'm doing something wrong. How do I turn this on?

Make sure your app is updated as well

Got it to work: First turned on headphones, then inserted cable to both phone and headphones and then switched to DAC, then beauuuuutiful came out

Out of interest - I tend to use DAC mode by plugging into my Samsung phone. Am I missing a trick here? By this I mean, is there a better device that doesn't cost a fortune that I could be using?

So my app is version 6.1.0 and its not offering an update. I cannot see the dynamic eq option anywhere. Am I looking in the wrong place. My eq settings section looks like it always has with the 5 bands and nothing else.
