“Focal Bathys. Sound stage and instrument separation is incredible. I own the Px8 S2, and wish they sounded like the bathys - only chose them because they travel better (smaller profile) are all aluminum and leather In my somewhat limited experience, the Bathys are the best sounding wireless under $1k”

“Focal Bathys would absolutely be my choice, especially for that price. I have Bathys OG and I've listened the the MG. It is nice that they've reduced the volume steps from 5db to 3db. Not that it is a really big deal, but they are lovely looking, too.”

neutralheadphones “Sennheiser HDB 630 vs Bowers & Wilkins Px8 S2, why I switched”OP - your process is actually a very good example of how one should go about choosing the right headphones for them. Sony and Bose are mass market favorites; but those who know their flaws, can’t stand to live with them. Apple APM is an expensive bauble with some great features; but I wouldn’t choose it as my first pick since I know better options. Sennheisers are amazing for people who value “accurate” sound reproduction and don’t mind their typical low bass. That said - the Momentum 4 offers 90% of the value of the HDB630 at a third of the cost IMO. My M4s are my preferred “rugged travel” headset. And for people who like a bit of punch in their headphones’ sound signature, the Focal Bathys and BW PX8 frequently come up as winners. I personally found the clamp force on the PX7 and 8 to be too much for me; and the ANC on the Bathys to be too poor. The M4 checks most of my boxes. If they could reach Sony-level ANC, they’d be a world beater.

neutralheadphoneadvice “Headphone for gaming and media use”Ive been using my AirPod as my daily driver and been a while I used a headphone, but I’m completely overwhelmed by the number of products out there and could use some help narrowing it down. I want to purchase one for fps gaming and media use, mainly buying for fps shooter game to listen footsteps but with the use case for movies, music etc. I expect this use in home settings and looking to spend up to $500ish base on features/quality. I don’t think I have a preference for closed or open or wireless system as long as I can keep the setup minimal I have a really hard time finding comfortable over-ear headphones. Historically, I run into issues where the ear cups/pads are too small (clamping on my ears rather than sitting around them) or the headband extension isn't large enough for my head. Looking for some suggestions from yall who are more experienced at this. I’m currently looking at: Focal bathys, might not be good for gaming? Maxwell, too heavy and not good for fps shooter games? Seems some post recommending sennheiser HD series and beyerdynamic DT
