I personally think that unless you like how a tube amp makes them sound, any cheaper class A amp, could drive them better than your original Marantz. Don't NEED to spend that much, unless you WANT to spend that much, in that case...

Soundstage is real? I don't trust you. It is only your perception of a headphone. I don't see it on graph then it does not exist. It is your brain generating that. Again, your perception. Detail, resolution, layering, soundstage, imaging? BULLSHIT. We trust only in the Holy Harman Target.

Why then you own two expensive headphones, since you can EQ them to whatever sound you like? One should do the job.

In this subreddit everything is irrelevant as long as you use an Apple Dongle and you can EQ...

Amazing... But that black line in the back of the Focal is killing my OCD.

I bough an hard case for my old Momentum 3, and I still use it for my Bathys.

Reply to Focal bathys Fit issues...? by Legendary_Tony
Honestly I use them 2 to 5 hours a day and I don't find any fit issue. My head is average size.

It's about drive, it's about power.

Ugly. Not worth the price tag. There are better ANC. There are better sounding ANC headphone. Not confortable at all. Consistent experience only if you are a Apple user, every other product is created to work with various devices, but not Apple.

I'm a bit afraid to find the same issues there.

In some reviews I did read about hissing problem in transparency mode, and I texted few people here on reddit and they had this problem too. I though about a QC issue as well, but if it's so common I can't buy them until I have a working unit.

The thing that made me crazy was not the noise floor, but it being only in one cup, and being related to the LED, that made me crazy. If the noise would be there in both cups, I could have deal with it, but being only in one cup made me felt like the headphone was broken. And also I find it very hironical that they could have just avoided to put the LED there in the first place and solved the problem, since nobody really want to use that led.

I was hoping so bad that these could be a game changer. I also really wanted to own a Focal headphone, so as soon as I saw these I immediately bought them. Sound was great (not 800€ great but still...) and I will not cover it here, but sooo many problems with ANC. First ANC was not that great at all, but for me it was ok, since I don't care that much about ANC. Then I noticed a hiss on the right cup, and I found out it was related to the Focal logo Led, if I turned off the Led the hiss would disappear, the hiss in transparency mode was definetly noticeable more than in the other modes. Also using the Bathys while riding my bike, the volume dropped really slightly everytime I ran over a pot hole, I think it could be caused due some type of compensation ANC was trying to achieve. It's a shame, I really think this is the right path for Focal but for me this product felt like an alpha version. And as much as I wanted to, I really wanted to keep them, I could not ignore those problems. Has anyone found these problems as well? Any opinion? Anyway now I'm thinking about a Focal Radiance + something like a Qudelix as a portable endgame.

I don't know that exact model, but it should, unless it is complete garbage. That's why I suggested that you might just like the way that tube amps sound. The main point is that you don't have to spend that much to achieve that sound.
