Yeah I wanted to do more comparisons in the video, but the runtime was already getting up there as there was so much else to cover. For that comparison, I’d say the Maxwell is way better than everything except Bathys - in which case it’s more just… different, with different strengths.
I will say… I do think the Maxwell has a more straightforwardly great tuning than the Bathys, but the Bathys has better dynamics/contrast. But as far as which is better… I’ve personally been struggling with that question as well. I think I’d gravitate to the Bathys still since it is lighter and more comfortable, the ANC is useful and I don’t ever have a use case for the mic. But that’s just me. There’s so much tech packed into the Maxwell that it also makes a good case for itself as a recommendation.
