Focal Bathys Wireless HiFi Headphones with Active Noise Cancellation - Official Discussion Thread

Both are good - The Maxwell is more ‘objectively great’ in the measurements sense, but they both have a pleasant enough tuning depending on what you’re looking for. Maxwell is also a bit is less comfortable for long term use because it’s heavier, doesn’t have ANC, and is a bit more upper mid forward. Bathys is a bit more laid back, thicker in the lower mids, with slightly better dynamics/contrast. They’re also very different types of devices, so I’d say base your pick around use case and form factor.
