Was disappointed by the PX8, found the original Bathys amazing, and the Bathys MG better still, so they can't go back to the original.

Bought the Bathys MG hoping for PX8-like sound with more bass. Very impressed by the build and feel and the separation, but finds the tuning the most boring they've heard for their cinematic, loud listening; keeping it anyway and enjoying it for some moods.
“I was very very impressed with the quality and feel of the mg’s but it was by far the most boring sound signature, it reminded me of my airpods just a lot better quality and separation”
An HD 800 S owner who wanted an end-game wireless pair. Finds the Bathys MG better than the original Bathys, with outstanding timbre and realistic staging, and the large cups keep ears cooler; but it looks bulky on the head, and the plusher pads let their ears touch the mesh unless the headband is set just right.
“Now, aside from these negatives, Mg sounds better than Og, and they sound absolutely heavenly and endgame. The timbre or the realism of music, instruments, and vocals were so outstanding and perfect.”
Has used the Bathys MG since release and, after trying the Solitaire T, Dali IO-12 and Beoplay H100, still finds it the best-sounding wireless headphone, with the best balance of timbre, dynamics, soundstage, imaging and resolution.
“I have been a Bathys MG user since release. I am always searching for the ultimate wireless sound experience, and to this day, the Bathys MG remains the best-sounding wireless headphone in the world for me.”
Bought the Bathys MG after loving the original Bathys in a Focal shop and has no regrets: heavenly sound and comfort with large cups. On two recent flights the noise cancelling was 70–80% as good as Sony or Bose, very good on engine rumble but announcements still get through.
“I find them completely acceptable and around 70-80% as good as the top dogs from Sony / Bose, they supress the "static" noise (airplane rumble for example) very efficiently.”
