Thanks, I appreciate you taking the time to watch. I try to put out the information I would want to know about the headphones and make the reviews fun and interesting. Comments like this help to keep me motivated!
Welcome back! The PX8 video is coming soon. I also plan to compare the Bathys vs PX8 and both of those headphones to the Mark Levinson No 5909 ($1,000 wireless/Bluetooth headphones). I want to see which is the best to recommend… I appreciate you taking the time to watch and all your support!
Thanks for the review. I purchased the Bathys and really like them. I bought them for $599. I was confused by the way you end some of your sentences. Some of your sentences sound like you are asking a question but you are actually just making a comment. Those sentence end in a up swing like when a question would be asked but I can tell by the context that you are not asking a question. A transcript of those sentences would end with a question mark and not a period. It is like if i were to say ,"I like snow." You say it like, "I like snow?" Aside from that it was a thorough and informative review.
I listened to the music samples you provided on this video and the PX8's. This is a very helpful feature as many stores do not carry both and you cannot A/B them. Thank you so much for including this in your review. I do understand that RUclips compresses things and it sound better in person. However as both are going through the same RUclips compression, I like the Bathys sound better. It has a more refined sound over the PX8. One reviewer said on the PX8, he hears more compression on the top end and the bass is boosted a little too much for his taste. From your samples, I think the PX8 and Bathys are fine and a lot has to do with personal preference. However I prefer the Bathys, though I am sure on some music, that laid back sound is not the best character and the PX8 may be a better choice. But I don't care when the music is pushed forward which it appears the PX8 does to some degree. I also have the Focal Aria 926 in my stereo and have the Focal Clear MG's. So my tastes does go towards the character of Focal.
I’ve been using the Bathys more often than usual lately as well. I love how the music sounds natural without anything being boosted. The highs, mids, and lows just compliment each other. I’ll be doing a video comparing the Bathys to the PX8 directly very soon. I’m still getting settled in from a move and should have the studio area back in tack to get going again. Let me know what you think if you get a chance to watch that video! I appreciate all your support!
Mister Delont’e! Just bought focal Bathys 😮😮😮 This is, by far, the best headphones i have ever heard!!!! PERIOD ! The best gift i have ever bought to myself 😃😃 I followed your advice and i am soooo happy !!! Thank you very much !!!!
Welcome back! I’m glad you were able to find a good pair of headphones, you love! The Bathys are definitely in my top group of wireless Bluetooth headphones! A pair of headphones I recommend for people looking for great quality headphones. I’m glad the advice helped!
@@DelonteM sir ! Can you tell me (because i am a huge fans of headphones), the focal bathys, do they sound as good as the px8? Which one has the best punchy bass? (When you eq them with +4 bass for example). I am looking to buy the px8 too but i hesitate.
@Patrick Mathieu I’m a huge fan of headphones as well! You’re trying to get the comparison review before it comes out, lol. I’ll tell you the PX8 has more bass. The review will compare the two in more detail… The PX8 are a great pair of headphones as well. The two headphones are just meant for different types of people. I hope this helps!
@@DelonteM Thank you so much for your review on this French ANC headphone I’am hesitating whether to choose between Focal Bathys and Beoplay H95 for listening to various genres of music. Could you pls give me your advice
Thanks for taking the time to watch! I’m actually making a video comparing the Focal Bathys against the ML 5909. The 5909 are my current go to headphones, but they are hard to recommend at the $1,000 price point. I’m still testing them to see which is best for me, if I was choosing today though, it would be the 5909. I hope this helps!
Welcome back! I try to make reviews I would want to know about. Hopefully people see them and have a better idea as to what they are getting or if they still want to get the item. I appreciate the kind words and thank you for taking the time to watch the videos! I appreciate all your support!
Now i cant wait to have mines in two weeks. Awesome review. From my understanding the Noise Cancellation was not made as good as the XM5 because Focal didnt want it to interfere with the sound quality. What music streaming app you recommend to use for the best sound with these headphones?
Welcome back! I didn’t know about the noise cancellation info, thanks for the update. I would recommend Apple Music and Qobuz. Both have a ton of hi-res music files and easy to work with. Tidal is pretty good as well, but Apple Music and Qobuz are my recommendations. I really appreciate all your support!
@@chefgav1 there was a team that had a direct interview with them. Now, not everything that a person says can be taken as truth but on the flip side not everything can be taken as false either. So in the end, it will be up to the individual to decide what is true and what is false base on their own research using data or base on their own opinion using their own beliefs
Thanks for taking the time to watch! I’m pretty excited to do the videos as well. All three headphones have their strengths and weaknesses, but breaking them down as to who the specific headphones are for, is what I’m excited to see. Of course we’re going to crown 👑 one of them as well… I appreciate your support!
Thanks for taking the time to watch the video! There are some noise canceling headphones that give you a white noise or hiss sound. I don’t have that problem with these headphones. There are some noise canceling headphones that give a wobbly/weird sound as well when you get air in between them (eating or chewing gum). These headphones do not have that problem either. I hope this helps!
So i just got mines in today. These are amazing! To my ears and music preference these are so good. Im streaming using Qobuz. So far super comfortable, clamp force a little hard compare to the BOSE and Sony XM4, but i can get used to it. These fit with my glasses well. Unlike the others. So if you have glasses, these are amazing since it wont bother you. I actually disable the LED logo since it wont benefit me at all. I believe it is worth the $800 no doubt. Even my brother agreed with the sound quality on how good they are.
I did the same with the LED lights. I used the lights for a day or two and then disabled them. I need to start testing headphones with glasses to see how they fit… I appreciate you taking the time to share your thoughts! It’s good to hear how other people feel about the headphones as well!
@@DelonteM Yes sir. Ive had them on for 5 hours already. They still feel ok but not like the BOSE QC35 ii. Im not sure how true it is. But i heard that they have to be running for a couple hours to get the best sound afterwards.
@@angelsales8544 Yes, they are supposed to be used somewhere between 40 - 70 hours for the best sound. You’ll hear it sounding better after a few hours of use. The Bose QC35 and QC45 are some of the most comfortable pairs of headphones out today. You’ll hear me compare a lot of headphones to them! I’m glad you were able to get everything worked out.
Thanks for taking the time to watch! That has a variables… If you’re in the Apple ecosystem, the special audio (on an Apple device) is just great. I’m currently not really into the spatial audio in music, but movies on my Apple tv, iPad, or Mac, nothing beats it. Take away the ecosystem and the AirPods Max is just another wireless Bluetooth device… I would use the Bathys, the Mark Levinson 5909, or the PX8 headphones in its place. There are quite a few others in a lower price point as well without spatial audio. Apple really needs to update the AirPods Max. I hope this helps!
I’m a bass head that wants to step up to the “hifi” category of headphones. Would you say that the Sennheiser Momentum 4s fit that description? I want as much bass as I can get without compromising anything else. These Focals are amazing but I think they’re more technical than what I need.
Thanks for taking the time to watch the video! If you’re looking for HiFi wireless Bluetooth headphones with bass and willing to spend a little to get some of the best. I would recommend the Mark Levinson No 5909 ($1,000 U.S. dollars) or the Bowers & Wilkins PX8 ($700 U.S. dollars). I have a video on the Momentum 4 headphones and they have a lot of bass as well. They also come with a decent amount of features. Check out the video, I break the headphones down just like I do in this video. The Mark Levinson has the bass enhanced mode that makes bassy tracks hit hard, without sounding bloated or muddy. The bass is the only portion you can adjust with the 5909, but the mids sound natural and the highs are a tad bit bright, but not too bright. You can clearly hear everything in the track with the 5909. I have a video comparing the 5909 to the AirPods Max on the channel for samples. I also plan to release a 5909 vs Bathys headphones video soon and work on the PX8 as well. The PX8 allow you to adjust the highs and lows, but not the mids (2 band EQ). The headphones sound good as well, but the bass is cleaner with the 5909. I should have videos up soon with both, but I have samples of the 5909 on the channel vs the AirPods Max. I hope this helps!
@@_DST0NE_ I’ve been working on the Bathys vs ML 5909 video, but the PX8 is coming not too long after. I appreciate your support, I’ll have it out soon.
Which has the beat noise canceling for the person your calling. I dont want things to be heard in business meetings. ML 5909. Bathys or the mx5 or the apple max. Thx
@@shawngrand1126 Welcome back and thanks, I appreciate all your support! Comments like this definitely help to keep me going! I really appreciate you taking the time to write this.
@Shawn Grand I have not forgot about you… I got in late, but will check on this and get you an answer tomorrow. I have a feeling I know which pair to recommend, but I want to be sure…
I use the 3dio binaural microphone for my samples. It produces pretty good samples, but the compression when uploading a video does impact on quality. I try to provide samples as a guide to get a general idea of what you would get when purchasing.
You could try the newly released Audio Technica M50x-BT2 which is far cheaper..better treble accuracy, better mid accuracy, more soundstage at just 200 dollars Or you could get these for a “slight” more bass accuracy (which focal bathys beats audio techinca for 800 dollars )
Welcome to the team! I have a few comparison videos with the Bathys against the PX8 and the 5909 coming as well. I appreciate you taking the time to watch!
Great video! I have owned several focal headphones and my favorite has always been the focal radiance however I grew out of it and moved on to other headphones. At $800 before tax and shipping with mediocre noise canceling these are not worth that price. Bluetooth headphones have yet to reach the place where they sound better than wired balanced headphones so $800 is too expensive for what we are getting which is a reputable name with decent sound but not truly worth the money. It seems like focal is banking on the Bluetooth headphone demographic not being that aware of the great difference between wired headphones and Bluetooth headphones, they are probably good sounding headphones since focal makes some very good sounding headphones but they inherit the Bluetooth lack of capability to produce the quality sound that wired headphones do. In my opinion it's hard to beat the momentum 4 for the price and sound quality Plus they have decent ANC.
Thanks for taking the time to watch the video! You raise a few good points here. I agree, wired headphones still have a better overall sound. I think Focal and others are starting to see a boom in wireless Bluetooth headphones and want to get their feet in it as well. The Sennheiser Momentum 4 and the Bowers & Wilkins PX7 S2 are great headphones at a lower price point that will serve most people well. Wireless Bluetooth headphones are new for companies like Mark Levinson and Focal, so I’m hoping to see the price go down on them in the future, once things are business as usual. $800 is a lot for wireless Bluetooth headphones, especially when the technology will get old and outdated very soon. Wired headphones have a very long life compared to wireless Bluetooth headphones. I own wired headphones from Sennheiser, Focal, HifiMan, and etc. with no worries as to when they will be outdated. I appreciate you taking the time to share your thoughts!
Listening to this with my Stellea. I know it’s ridiculous comparing two pairs of headphones in these price categories but the sound demo of these headphones sounds terrible even considering RUclips compression. It’s a shame because I was considering purchasing these as a Bluetooth portable pair to replace using my Stellea but that will absolutely not be happening haha
@@attomicrooster7823 Thanks for taking the time to watch! The compression does lower the quality… The Focal Stellia sounds better than the Bathys. The Focal Celestee sounds better as well in my opinion, but the Bathys are pretty good on the go. I’ll be releasing a video comparing the Bathys to the Mark Levinson 5909 very soon. These are both high end wireless Bluetooth headphones, that go about sound in different ways. Let me know what you think if you get a chance!
I think the headphones will sound much better in person compared to the recording you included. It is really hard to convey sound quality through recordings and even more so through RUclips. Great that you include it in the video nonetheless. (: thanks for the review, it was very informative!
Yes, the headphones sound a lot better in person. The compression that happens when uploading a video does make the sound test less reliable. People should use the sound test as a general idea of what they will get. I appreciate you taking the time to watch and sharing your thoughts!
Thanks for taking the time to watch! aptX Adaptive is onboard these headphones. LDAC provides up to 24 bit 96kHz hi-res audio, but aptX Adaptive offers up to 24 bit 48 kHz and low latency for videos and gaming as well. LDAC provides a higher sample rate, but the versatility of aptX Adaptive’s scaling and low latency for gaming is really good as well. It really depends on what the user is looking for. I appreciate you taking the time to share your thoughts!
Welcome back! I appreciate you taking the time to watch the video! Don’t go too far, I’m working on the comparison videos I talked about in the Bathys shorts video!
Thanks for taking the time to watch. The Bathys headphones have a pretty wide soundstage. This is one of the reasons I love these headphones. These are definitely one of the better wireless Bluetooth headphones. The headphones have their cons, but the pros are just great! I appreciate you taking the time to share your thoughts!
@@DelonteM Thank you for the response man. I'm not really into their overall aesthetic, I much preffer the Classy look of B&O or the LIkes of B&W. That's why I'll pass on those, however it's great to see FOCAL stepping in this BT game. The more competition the better for the consumer :)
@@Icecold_Art No problem at all! I agree, the more competition the better. The PX8 headphones review will be coming soon, it’s really nice to see companies like Mark Levinson and Focal get into the wireless Bluetooth headphone space! Hopefully the prices get more competitive with their later releases…
The Bathys are a great pair of headphones, but $800 for a pair of wireless Bluetooth headphones is a lot of money… They are very hard to recommend due to the price, but the sound quality is really good! I appreciate you taking the time to watch!
Thanks for taking the time to watch! I did a shorts video on the Soundcore Q45 headphones… Full review coming soon. Those headphones are a great value for the money!
@@DelonteM Yes They Are My Friend And Better Build , Looks & Sound Than The Ultra Cheap XM5 Which Aside From The ANC Are A Total Disappointment To Me . I Did 2 SoundCore Q45 Vids Myself . I Listened To My Space Q45 Wired Passively Powered Off With No Issue At All As Soon As I Got Them And The Sound Is Amazing Wired Powered Off . . . . . SoundCore Space Q45 My Take For Wired Passive Listening I'm Using ZFold3 To Hidizs S9 Pro DAC AMP DONGLE To Space Q45 And WOW AweSomeNess PerSoNiFied . The Q45 ANC is really good SoundCores best yet Right Up There With My XM3s . The Space Q45 sound while punchy is not as punchy as the Soundcore Life Q35 In The Bass Department . The Bass Up Feature can't currently be used with Custom EQs So it's Pointless for my Uses Because I Use My Own In App Custom EQs . We Can Listen To These Wired Passively (Powered Off) And The Q45s Sound Absolutely Amazing This Way . The LDAC Sounds Really Good And Gives Wired Listening A Run For It's Money . We Lose Some Features Of The Life Q35 With The Space Q45 . Hopefully A Firmware Update(s) Will Give These Lost Functions To The Q45 . The Q45s Are Heavier With Much Less Cushioning On The Top Where As The Q35 Are Lighter With More Cushioning On Top So Comfort Goes To Q35 . I've Never Had Any Pain To To Top Of My Head Though Despite The Q45 Having Less Cushioning So No Complaints There . Both Q35 And Q45 Have Excellent Sound With The Q45 Punching Hard And The Q35 Punching Harder . I Enjoy Them Both . Amazon Had Q35 111 Dollars With Discounts And Q45 129 dollars With Discounts . Not Sure If Discounts Still Active Now But $149.00 For Q45 Is Still A Bargain For Such An AweSomeNess PerSoNiFied Headphone . You Can Turn Up The Q45s Bass Using Custom EQs But Nothing I've Done Has Made The Q45s As Punchy As The Q35s . For Most I Think You'll Be More Than Happy With The Q45s Bass . I Know I Am . A Blue Variant And A White Variant Are Said To Be Forthcoming So I'll Most Def Be Snagging Them In White .
@@DroidLocks6971 Very nice review of the Q45 headphones. I’m still testing them right now, but I have to say, they are something special for the price. These headphones can definitely compete with headphones double the price. I’ll have the full review out soon. Let me know your thoughts if you get a chance to see it!
I use Artist for music and they have a ton of independent artists they work with. Some of the artists are found on the major streamers, but a lot aren’t. This may be one of the artists that aren’t on the bigger streaming apps.
Welcome back! That is something to think about…Bluetooth technology is always advancing, whereas the Focal wired headphones will be relevant for years to come. The Focal Celestee are a great pair of wired headphones that cost $1,000, but they will be relevant for a very long time. Thanks for taking the time to watch and I appreciate your support!
I try to give people samples so they get a better idea of what the headphones would sound like. I really appreciate you taking the time to watch! Welcome to the team!
Thanks for taking the time to watch and sharing your experience with the headphones! How good a certain pair of headphones are really depends on what you are looking for in a pair of headphones. I said in the video, the Bathys headphones are not for people who want a lot of bass and tried to give a decent description of the sound. The Bathys is not for everyone and I appreciate you making that point.

@Shawn Grand This could actually be a video… 🤔 Let me test that and get right back to you.
@Shawn Grand I have not forgot about you… I got in late, but will check on this and get you an answer tomorrow. I have a feeling I know which pair to recommend, but I want to be sure…
MX5 hands down
Just wondering which binaural microphone you use?
I use the 3dio binaural microphone for my samples. It produces pretty good samples, but the compression when uploading a video does impact on quality. I try to provide samples as a guide to get a general idea of what you would get when purchasing.
Nice review. Well organized and interesting!
Thanks, I appreciate you taking the time to watch! I try to keep the reviews fun!
You could try the newly released Audio Technica M50x-BT2 which is far cheaper..better treble accuracy, better mid accuracy, more soundstage at just 200 dollars
Or you could get these for a “slight” more bass accuracy (which focal bathys beats audio techinca for 800 dollars )
Welcome back! I may have to try the Audio Technical M50x-BT2 headphones. Thanks for the recommendation!
Amazing video. Can't wait for mine to come. Subbed !!!
Welcome to the team! I have a few comparison videos with the Bathys against the PX8 and the 5909 coming as well. I appreciate you taking the time to watch!
Great video! I have owned several focal headphones and my favorite has always been the focal radiance however I grew out of it and moved on to other headphones. At $800 before tax and shipping with mediocre noise canceling these are not worth that price. Bluetooth headphones have yet to reach the place where they sound better than wired balanced headphones so $800 is too expensive for what we are getting which is a reputable name with decent sound but not truly worth the money. It seems like focal is banking on the Bluetooth headphone demographic not being that aware of the great difference between wired headphones and Bluetooth headphones, they are probably good sounding headphones since focal makes some very good sounding headphones but they inherit the Bluetooth lack of capability to produce the quality sound that wired headphones do. In my opinion it's hard to beat the momentum 4 for the price and sound quality Plus they have decent ANC.
Thanks for taking the time to watch the video! You raise a few good points here. I agree, wired headphones still have a better overall sound. I think Focal and others are starting to see a boom in wireless Bluetooth headphones and want to get their feet in it as well. The Sennheiser Momentum 4 and the Bowers & Wilkins PX7 S2 are great headphones at a lower price point that will serve most people well. Wireless Bluetooth headphones are new for companies like Mark Levinson and Focal, so I’m hoping to see the price go down on them in the future, once things are business as usual. $800 is a lot for wireless Bluetooth headphones, especially when the technology will get old and outdated very soon. Wired headphones have a very long life compared to wireless Bluetooth headphones. I own wired headphones from Sennheiser, Focal, HifiMan, and etc. with no worries as to when they will be outdated. I appreciate you taking the time to share your thoughts!
Listening to this with my Stellea. I know it’s ridiculous comparing two pairs of headphones in these price categories but the sound demo of these headphones sounds terrible even considering RUclips compression. It’s a shame because I was considering purchasing these as a Bluetooth portable pair to replace using my Stellea but that will absolutely not be happening haha
@@attomicrooster7823 Thanks for taking the time to watch! The compression does lower the quality… The Focal Stellia sounds better than the Bathys. The Focal Celestee sounds better as well in my opinion, but the Bathys are pretty good on the go. I’ll be releasing a video comparing the Bathys to the Mark Levinson 5909 very soon. These are both high end wireless Bluetooth headphones, that go about sound in different ways. Let me know what you think if you get a chance!
I think the headphones will sound much better in person compared to the recording you included.
It is really hard to convey sound quality through recordings and even more so through RUclips.
Great that you include it in the video nonetheless. (: thanks for the review, it was very informative!
Yes, the headphones sound a lot better in person. The compression that happens when uploading a video does make the sound test less reliable. People should use the sound test as a general idea of what they will get. I appreciate you taking the time to watch and sharing your thoughts!
Shame they don't support any of the more higher end bluetooth codecs.
Thanks for taking the time to watch! aptX Adaptive is onboard these headphones. LDAC provides up to 24 bit 96kHz hi-res audio, but aptX Adaptive offers up to 24 bit 48 kHz and low latency for videos and gaming as well. LDAC provides a higher sample rate, but the versatility of aptX Adaptive’s scaling and low latency for gaming is really good as well. It really depends on what the user is looking for. I appreciate you taking the time to share your thoughts!
Awesome review 😎
Welcome back! I appreciate you taking the time to watch the video! Don’t go too far, I’m working on the comparison videos I talked about in the Bathys shorts video!
@@DelonteM 😳 You remembered me , keep up the great work 🫡 looking forward to it 🐐
@@jameswashington4984 I appreciate you and thanks for all your support!
Wow, the sound samples were very revealing. Sounded almost like an open back. Very spacious.
Thanks for taking the time to watch. The Bathys headphones have a pretty wide soundstage. This is one of the reasons I love these headphones. These are definitely one of the better wireless Bluetooth headphones. The headphones have their cons, but the pros are just great! I appreciate you taking the time to share your thoughts!
@@DelonteM Thank you for the response man. I'm not really into their overall aesthetic, I much preffer the Classy look of B&O or the LIkes of B&W. That's why I'll pass on those, however it's great to see FOCAL stepping in this BT game. The more competition the better for the consumer :)
@@Icecold_Art No problem at all! I agree, the more competition the better. The PX8 headphones review will be coming soon, it’s really nice to see companies like Mark Levinson and Focal get into the wireless Bluetooth headphone space! Hopefully the prices get more competitive with their later releases…
A microphone review as well. Thank you!!
No problem at all. I try to give you all what I would want to know about in a pair of headphones. I appreciate you taking the time to watch!
Can you tell me what model wat h your wearing please
Thanks for taking the time to watch the video! This is the Apple Watch Ultra.
@@DelonteM great vid , I have the focal headphones and love them , like the watch very much too keep up the good work
@@pauljordan3828 Thanks, the Apple Watch Ultra has been great. Definitely worth the price, even though I don’t use the watch to its full potential…
I Liked The Transparency Mode
Yea, the transparency mode is solid!
please review master dynamic mw75. seems to be one of the best wireless that came out recently
I have had a few people ask about these headphones. I’ll try to make that happen! I appreciate you taking the time to watch!
I have it mw75 AMG Mercedes special edition sound incredible in every way noise canceling better than airpods max I recommend you this headphones.
@@danielortiz8719 yeah even floss Carter said it's the best
You guys are really making me want to review these headphones… I have to get them for review now. I hope they are this good…
@@DelonteM all white version would be great
I Want These But 800 Plus Tax Is Just Too Steep . I Can Afford It But I'm Simply Not Going To .
The Bathys are a great pair of headphones, but $800 for a pair of wireless Bluetooth headphones is a lot of money… They are very hard to recommend due to the price, but the sound quality is really good! I appreciate you taking the time to watch!
Auto pause is a PITA
You Said Get A Good Pair Of Headphones Ready For Soj.d Test So My SoundCore Q45s For At The Ready Sir
Thanks for taking the time to watch! I did a shorts video on the Soundcore Q45 headphones… Full review coming soon. Those headphones are a great value for the money!
@@DelonteM Yes They Are My Friend And Better Build , Looks & Sound Than The Ultra Cheap XM5 Which Aside From The ANC Are A Total Disappointment To Me .
I Did 2 SoundCore Q45 Vids Myself .
I Listened To My Space Q45 Wired Passively Powered Off With No Issue At All As Soon As I Got Them And The Sound Is Amazing Wired Powered Off . . . . .
SoundCore Space Q45 My Take
For Wired Passive Listening I'm Using ZFold3 To Hidizs S9 Pro DAC AMP DONGLE To Space Q45 And WOW AweSomeNess PerSoNiFied .
The Q45 ANC is really good SoundCores best yet Right Up There With My XM3s .
The Space Q45 sound while punchy is not as punchy as the Soundcore Life Q35 In The Bass Department .
The Bass Up Feature can't currently be used with Custom EQs So it's Pointless for my Uses Because I Use My Own In App Custom EQs .
We Can Listen To These Wired Passively (Powered Off) And The Q45s Sound Absolutely Amazing This Way .
The LDAC Sounds Really Good And Gives Wired Listening A Run For It's Money .
We Lose Some Features Of The Life Q35 With The Space Q45 . Hopefully A Firmware Update(s) Will Give These Lost Functions To The Q45 . The Q45s Are Heavier With Much Less Cushioning On The Top Where As The Q35 Are Lighter With More Cushioning On Top So Comfort Goes To Q35 . I've Never Had Any Pain To To Top Of My Head Though Despite The Q45 Having Less Cushioning So No Complaints There .
Both Q35 And Q45 Have Excellent Sound With The Q45 Punching Hard And The Q35 Punching Harder .
I Enjoy Them Both . Amazon Had Q35 111 Dollars With Discounts And Q45 129 dollars With Discounts . Not Sure If Discounts Still Active Now But $149.00 For Q45 Is Still A Bargain For Such An AweSomeNess PerSoNiFied Headphone .
You Can Turn Up The Q45s Bass Using Custom EQs But Nothing I've Done Has Made The Q45s As Punchy As The Q35s .
For Most I Think You'll Be More Than Happy With The Q45s Bass . I Know I Am .
A Blue Variant And A White Variant Are Said To Be Forthcoming So I'll Most Def Be Snagging Them In White .
@@DroidLocks6971 Very nice review of the Q45 headphones. I’m still testing them right now, but I have to say, they are something special for the price. These headphones can definitely compete with headphones double the price. I’ll have the full review out soon. Let me know your thoughts if you get a chance to see it!
@@DelonteM I Subbed And Turned On All Notifications So I'm Looking Forward To It .
@@DroidLocks6971 I appreciate you! Thanks for your support and welcome to the team!
Wrong side of town . . . can't find it on title
I use Artist for music and they have a ton of independent artists they work with. Some of the artists are found on the major streamers, but a lot aren’t. This may be one of the artists that aren’t on the bigger streaming apps.
I Like The TransParency Of My Space Q45 Cans
These headphones are solid in a lot of ways! The price is great for what you get!
To me it does not worth so high price. I mean peice for BT headphones. Even B&W PX8 is overpriced.
Welcome back! That is something to think about…Bluetooth technology is always advancing, whereas the Focal wired headphones will be relevant for years to come. The Focal Celestee are a great pair of wired headphones that cost $1,000, but they will be relevant for a very long time. Thanks for taking the time to watch and I appreciate your support!
I will return mine. I'll stick w d amiron i use
Thanks for taking the time to watch. The headphones are not for everyone. I appreciate you taking the time to share your thoughts about them!
Subscribe your channel for sound quality test. Thumb up 👍
I try to give people samples so they get a better idea of what the headphones would sound like. I really appreciate you taking the time to watch! Welcome to the team!
They don't sound 800$ good.. I bought a pair My Sony xm4/ Stax/ & beats sounds better please tell ppl the truth.. I return them.
Thanks for taking the time to watch and sharing your experience with the headphones! How good a certain pair of headphones are really depends on what you are looking for in a pair of headphones. I said in the video, the Bathys headphones are not for people who want a lot of bass and tried to give a decent description of the sound. The Bathys is not for everyone and I appreciate you making that point.
@@DelonteM Bro I appreciate you not taking it the wrong way ☀️ keep doing ur thing you do a great job.
@@chadalexander292 No problem at all! I would love to build a community where people express their thoughts on reviews. I make reviews hoping people get involved, even if they disagree.

Did you go through the break-in period? 150hrs I think.
@@_DST0NE_ no I didn't, they was making a popping noise when I turn them up & they just didn't sound 800 dollar good & I have a high top fade & the head band didn't let down enough for me plus the cables that came with them was on the cheap side .. they well bulit tho
