Following the release of the Focal Bathys, I wanted to see how it stacks up against the new Bowers & Wilkens PX8, Sony WH-1000XM5, and Apple AirPods Max.

Great review. Sounds fair and comprehensive. Nice budget mix too.

@nickroseta Год назад

Can’t wait to unbox my PX8’s tomorrow morning (Christmas day)! Thanks for the review.

@arthurlin5029 4 месяца назад

So how did it sound to you. I just got mine yesterday. And find out that its bass sound kinda muddy, and not in a good way. Or perhaps it takes some time to burn in?

@lazerlabmusic9625 Год назад

Thank you for a very nice review. I just bought the Sennheiser momentum 4, but I will return them and order the Bowers & Wilkins PX8 to get better sound quality. I don't care so much about ANC and Transparency mode quality. The sound quality is the most important for me.

@harryjohnson6255 Год назад

Great review! Thank you

@revelationsoundstudio Год назад

Thanks for your very insightful and good review. The bathys have definitely wider soundstage, greater detail resolution and slightly leaner (but not anaemic) bass. However, I find them far less comfortable than the PX8 on my head, I prefer the build and looks of the PX8, and I also find the PX8 noise cancelling to be better. Also, the large volume steps on the bathys *really* bugs me - the PX8 had much more subtle volume control. When the bathys are in transparency mode in a quiet environment I get that really pronounced hiss that others have mentioned

@VitiateTheImmortal 7 месяцев назад

Its really strange how subjective audio is lol i tried the px8 and the focal bathys next to each other… and i felt like the px8 sounds too dark, nearly muffled compared to the focals. Their bass is a little too powerful and treble not bright enough. Also i didnt like the smaller sound stage. Preferred the bathys by far

@nicolaesurdu3418 4 месяца назад

Great video. There are also two very good options missing: Sennheiser Momentum 4 and Bang & Olufsen H95.

@harryjohnson6255 Год назад

Love your review! I purchased the PX8s, and agree on all accounts with your review with apple and the Sonys. You nailed it and love the PX8s. I haven’t heard the Bathys, I just can’t be seen with larger the life headphones out and about. I’m sure they are crazy good, but I love the look and sound of the B&M.. I noticed the sound of the PX8s improve over time, my Sonys were the same, the older the better. Do most headphones have a break in period?

@bonanzabrandon6877 Год назад

Too bad you couldn't get the Sennheiser Momentum 4 in for comparison.

@BlackMilo87 5 месяцев назад

And if we compare vs. the mark Levinson 5909, which one do you think has better audio, I am between the px8, focal and the mark, a fact: the px8 are on promotion and I can get them almost in less than 500 dollars

@TheIrishMedievalArcher 22 дня назад

My god maaaan you got me with that explanation. New subscriber here. 🙋🏻‍♂️ Would you please help me? Which one is louder Bathys or PX8? Greetings!

@skenic1952 7 месяцев назад

I own the Bathys, PX8’s and the Mark Levinson 5909 and I disagree with your barely scraping the surface review of these high end headphones. While I concede that everyone’s personal anatomy is different I find the PX8 ear cups to be small and uncomfortable to wear for long periods of time. To me, the Bathys are superior to the PX8’s in both comfort, build quality, and sound quality. The other two headphones you reviewed I can’t comment on since I wouldn’t own either. There’s another headphone, the B&O H95’s which I found to be overpriced and inferior, I had them and returned them.

@falcodarkzz Год назад

Basically had the same conclusions, bought Bathys and PX8 then returned Bathys. both are great though, but those PX8 mids dayuuum

@bill3117 Год назад

Well after watching many reviews I'm glad to find your video. I've been torn between the Focal and the B&W. I have the B&W on the way. I do own the AirPods Max and think the ANC is great. But, sound quality does matter, so I am looking forward to the Px8 headphones. Maybe I'm going to have to travel with several brands of headphones ;) Thank you!

@JustXavier Год назад

Go for the Focal’s. I have the PX8s and the Focals and the Focals are on _a whole other level._

@allansh828 Год назад

Px8 is nowhere near as good as Bathys. It has nonexistent soundstage and image clarity compared to Bathys. It’s just mids-forward.

@duval3d Год назад

the Bathys are better sounding than the PX8....i have both of them....the reviewer is literally one of the few people who prefer the px8. It does have more low-end rumble than the Bathys.....but for true clarity, there's a clear winner.

@gwapster13 Год назад

Borrowed both for a week, now I own PX8. I do have a Focal Radiance but the Bathys is just not for me.

11:00 wrong. The drivers are made in Focal factory but the final assembly is done in China.

@mlachance001 Год назад

I own the Bose 700, Sony XM5 Im Wondering if I could upgrade for Either Bathys or PX8 are these so much of a Level UP in terms of sound Quality ? Price Doesnt Matter, Just not wanna spend the Amount of the Focal Clear.

@Juumonji Год назад

Definitely, I got the Bose and Sony. ANC has no competition with the Bose and Sony, but for sound, it’s a massive jump from these to PX 8 and Bathys. I know, as I own both the PX 8 and Bathys. Both are top-of-line wireless ANC headphones, where picking either only boils down to your sound preference.

@Patrickmathieu0482 Год назад

@@Daausby hi sir ! I have the px8, bathys and mark Levinson 5909. In a short resume, i can tell you that the px8 are my favorite by far. I listen to rock, metal, pop and rap. The problem with the bathys and the 5909 is the bass. They lack a lot in terms of kick in the bass. It’s a tight bass but so poor in rumbling. It doesn’t hit you in the chest like the px8 does. The bathys have a clearer sound with more details than the px8 and 5909. I would recommand the bathys for those who listen to classic, jazz, pop or blues or accoustics. The 5909 emphasized on the mids and highs a lot! They have the best presence for voices! Honestly it’s a huge difference between the three. But, again, they lack in terms of bass response!! They are for people who listen to accoustics, live shows or classical music. The px8 are the most fun to listen in the bunch! If you have a pair to choose, it’s easy: px8 ! They are so comfortable !! :) Hope this help! Oh by the way, i speak french here so sorry for bad english

Px8 or Px7s2e ??

@SammyIsWhammy 7 месяцев назад

I've owned the XM5s and AirPods Max and I prefer the XM5s over them to be honest. And that's because the APMs are quite heavy and after an hour or two of use, you can feel the weight and fatigue of it and to top it off, if you're going to workout with them, the sweat and the mesh earcups don't go well with each other. The mesh ear cups feel itchy to me and I'm not a fan. But other than that, they're pretty good in sound quality. The XM5s were good in price, sound quality, and all around. One thing bad I'd say is how big the earcups actually are. It's hard to fit that and my heaad under a hood or if I'm learning on a pillow during a flight, etc. It's just massive but other than that, it's good. I'm looking to get the PX8s soon but the McLaren Edition :P. Hopefully, it's better than the both of them or at least in the aspects and factors that I want in a headphone.

None of those headphones are intended to be used in the gym. That's what earbuds or ear-hooks are for.

@kafkaworkshere 7 месяцев назад

I went with the Bathys, though I've never heard the PX8 (full disclosure). The Sonys (either XM4 or XM5) are a great portable because of their feature set, including the best ANC, but the Bathys just sound so much better. I don't consider the AirPods Max to be a great portable. The aluminum shells are heavy and easy to scratch. Recharging involves that bra.

@rgar218 8 месяцев назад

i dont know how XM5 will compare to Focal bathys and BW after downloading an EQ app for PC and android (sony eq sucks) . Those EQ apps totally changed XM5 to the point that turning it off makes it sound a different headphone. I would say it became so much clearer that the Sony Eq app wasnt able to do.

@dirtbikersteve 4 месяца назад

Do not buy the B&W px8 they have a widely known issue eith the ANC causing noticably loud white noise when you tilt your head in a certain way. I had to return mine. It seems like the physical cups dont isolate very well so the mics pic up noise throwing off the ANC. There is no fix

@janmysicka7012 4 месяца назад

Airpods Maxes are the worst out of them all. 1. Terrible sound 2. Noice cancelling is mid after the update 3. And they are heavy af. If i compare the sound against airpods pro 2, airpods pro win every single time… The sound is just dull and mid. I think the XM5 are best for the price and sound actually.
