FOCAL BATHYS STEALTH BLACK BEAUTIFUL AND SIMPLY SPLENDID!

SIMPLY SPLENDID! Like others I had Bowers & Wilkins PX7 SE, Bose Quite Comfort and both were defective and had to return! Although these two sounded very nice for the audiophiles but the Focals Bathys have much more detail on all ranges blows away the competition the audiophile quality is NUMBER ONE IN SOUND! The noise cancellation isn't the champion but it does the job very well! The Bathys are extremely comfortable! The ear cups fit my 2 3/4" ear length (measure your ears before buying any over ear headphones, and find out the ear cup sizes online!). The Bathys are very high quality and are a luxurious headphone indeed! I love the button controls and disagree with criticism about the layout and form! I love the Black Stealth color! The Black Stealth color is over $100 cheaper than the boutique colors!TRULY THESE HEADPHONE ARE LIKE WALKING AROUND WITH MY FOCAL CHORUS FLOOR-STANDERS ON MY EARS! Oh by the way I am using a Astell & Kern SR35 portable number one rated music player and of course an iPhone for podcasts and such. I AM KEEPING THESE UNTIL THEY WEAR OUT! BUY THE BATHYS NC AUDIOPHILE HEADPHONES YOUR EARS WILL LOVE YOU FOR IT!

High performing headphones with insignificant cons.

Bathy's arrived. Sounds is very good and improves with wired interface- DAC.Highs are clear. Bass not overemphasized. The big complaints I've read are comfort and unusual sounds particularly during power on. No such noises for the first power up and connection. The headband and ear muffs are comfortable but we'll see after an hour or two. In my work I wore heavy industrial sound powered phones that were heavy and gripped with a vise-like clamp that were painful in short order. They are a bit heavy, another complaint, but I would think that is to be expected for higher end (Bluetooth) headphones.The ability to connect digitally via the supplied cable is a definite plus as the normal Bluetooth compression is eliminated. Analog to digital compression is not required. Furthermore no DAC or amp is needed. It's handled by the headphones.I found the controls confusing. Multiple pushes required. For example pausing, playing and call functions are handled by one button using one push. Forward is two pushes, backwards is three. This is all using the same button. So there's a learning curve. Simple compared to my old job which had hundreds of buttons so not an issue. Like our car controls once you've driven awhile you know where to reach without looking. Still the look and feel of the controls are lacking. For headphones at this price cheap looking plastic controls are inexcusable. Like putting cheap plastic knobs in a Bentley.Noise canceling is an area whose performance is said to trail other phones like Sony 1000XM5's. However I have a quiet house and quiet neighborhood so again no concern or need for such. If it comes to that I have Sony WF-1000XM4 earbuds with very good noise canceling and good performance. Because let's face it if it is that noisy then there will be no critical listening being done.I've read complaints about the app and having to use it to set the led lights. This concerns seems unwarranted. Just set it once and leave it alone. Who is turning them on and off?They are heavy. The heaviest I can ever remember wearing. Only my 70s era Pioneers were this weighty. Not an issue for me for one I have no neck issues and will not be wearing all day and two I understand the weight is due to the quality of construction. Like a high end European sedan.I have set the EQ to dynamic as research shows it places the headphones closer to the Harmon curve. Returned only due to finding a better price and long time excellent customer service elsewhere. With gear of at this level I realized 30 day returns and nonexistent customer service is unexceptable. Where I purchased allows 60 day return windows and has lifetime customer support.

The perfect balance between audiophile-grade and convenience

For a pair of Bluetooth closed-backs, these are absolutely impressive. I'd describe them as warm but still audiophile friendly, bass is great and accurate which, while not as surgical as say that of BA drivers, is still quite controlled, textured, and has good oomph. Resolution is spectacular, it's certainly better than I expected. Highs are not harsh, rather decently sparkly and give life to the music, while the bass and mids give it body. Tuning is pretty relaxed and the soundstage is respectable given they're closed-backs, and oddly enough, depending on how their placed on the head (moved forward or back), the soundstage changes considerably (likely because of the angle of the drivers). They sound better on DAC mode (thought not by a crazy amount), and the provided USB-C cable has a really good "grip" in the ports, which I like.I found the best genres to listen to on them are those with full-bodied songs with some slow atmospheric bass and female vocals, e.g. Nordic folk, viking, darkwave, and such sound absolutely amazing on them. But very fast and very complex songs like certain subgenres of metal don't blow me away on them, I think speed isn't their strong suit, though normal pop kind of speed is totally fine on them.ANC is okay, I don't really have much experience with ANC but I've tried much better headphones for that, so of note is that there's a light ANC mode and a transparent mode, though there isn't an off mode. I imagine the engineers realized it's difficult to tune drivers in a way that sounds as best as it could both with and without ANC, so they tuned it with ANC assumed on and didn't provide an off option. App is good enough, though the customized sound made them sound less pleasant to me so I didn't enable it. App also has an EQ and logo light control (bright, dim, off), but I like their Focal tonality out of the box. They're pretty comfortable, not too heavy, with a good battery life. I also really like the case, it's quite portable, more than you'd expect knowing how thick the pads are (which I also really like). Build appears pretty solid and the headphones are very comfy, I wore them the majority of the time in the past few days.Nothing majorly bad to say about them really. If you're looking for the best of both worlds, the closed-back audiophile one (resolution, control, tonality, soundstage, etc) and the convenience one (Bluetooth, ANC, lightweight, etc) then you'll get a perfect balance with the Bathys. They won't blow your mind if you're coming from anything high-end, especially couple kilobuck+ IEMs, but they will definitely scratch that itch of just wanting something convenient without being bombarded by faults you can't unhear.There are some design flaws in terms of convenience/utility, but as I said, it's a balance. E.g. No passive mode, no LDAC or aptx HD, jack implementation isn't great, volume increments are pretty large, etc. But I stand by my main message: Bluetooth + audiophile grade? There's hardly a better pair, not without going much more expensive.
