Review in the comments! Vs Sony 1000XM5 and other Focal headphones. I have mixed feelings.

    Really not a huge fan of the Bathys either. I’d say it was close to a Celestee sound-wise, but being held back by some kind of DSP. The usual Focal slam sounded especially awful on them.

    I really wanted to love them since it combined everything I like on paper (very dynamic Focal house sound in a smaller Bluetooth package), but instead they don’t feel as versatile as the more common and feature-packed ANC headphones, while still not sounding as great as proper Focals.

    Still better than a stock Elegia I suppose, but it’s also much more expensive and can’t really be “fixed” unlike the Elegia.
