I want to know whether it supports aptX Lossless. I know that's in some way part of aptX Adaptive, but I don't know whether that implies that it's solely up to the source as long as the device supports aptX Adaptive.

I'm fairly certain that only the latest qualcomm SoC supports aptx lossless, it has Bluetooth 5.3,so no these won't support it...

Any interpretations of performance, especially staging, vs celestee or elegia?

Damn they look cool

Interesting. Wonder how they compare to the Mark Levinson 5909?

And you create very easy your own tuning with the app




And the best...the preferred DSP setting is stored in the headphone and that even if you use it with the cable or you turn it off
I do not think much of the cheap stuff...but I was really positively surprised that this works and sounds so good
For 800 Euro unbelievable
I am sure that Bathys will find many friends arround the world
Strong buy and a recomondation from my side

NOMAX

PS.lol

5 fixed bands?
Even the 50€ Earfun free Pro 2 can be tuned using a 10 Band PEQ.
and stored within the TWS!

But I guess than Focal would have to charge above 1k€.

I don't really care if it's 5 or 10 band...at the end of the day it's all about how it sounds

NOMAX

PS.and it sounds great for the asking price

Beleave it or not, but with 10 bands PEQ it would sound better as with 5 fixed bands.

P.S. LOL

Beleave it or not, but with 10 bands PEQ it would sound better as with 5 fied bands.

P.S. LOL

But who knows how far the app is still being developed, maybe there are still changes to come

Interesting tidbit from an interview the Headphone Show guys did with Focal/Naim CEO Cédrick Boutonet as part of their Bathys factory visit. See about 14:50 into this video:

HEADHONE Show Bathys behind the scenes

Sounds like they already have more BT hifi products planned. A "full range of products".
