WIRED Gorgeous design. Super comfortable. Case and headphones made with high-quality materials. 30-hour battery life. Multi-device pairing. Built-in DAC mode for wired listening. Easy to use. TIRED Expensive.
You’ll get Bluetooth 5.1 with codecs for SBC, AAC, aptX and aptX adaptive, making them sound about as good as possible wirelessly . But those who want to hear them with the ultimate fidelity will want to listen via the wired 3.5 mm jack on the bottom of the right earcup, or using DAC mode and a USB-C cable.
DAC mode makes these headphones a sort of two-for-one solution for audio nerds. Most folks who do serious listening on the go bring a portable DAC/headphone amp to power their fancy wired headphones, because the chips inside typical consumer laptops/cell phones aren’t the best sounding.
I liked listening in DAC mode when I was at my work desk, where I might otherwise pick through my stable of wired headphones and a traditional desktop digital-to-analog converter. Frankly, it’s pretty shocking how great these sound, even when compared to fully wired headphones that cost between $500 and $1,000. I'd compare these favorably to Focal's ownUltimately, there’s just very little I dislike about the Bathys other than the high price for the ANC category.
If you’re a traveling audio nerd who wants the best-sounding, most convenient noise-canceling headphones, these are the creme de la creme. They’re easier to take with you than any high-end wired headphones, and they sound as good as many wired pairs I’ve tested that cost the same price. Just remember to turn off the lights if you’re as tall as I am. I might like French headphones, but nobody needs to feel like the Eiffel Tower.
