Buying call

Buy the Bathys if you want wireless headphones that sound like a high-end wired pair: the 40mm aluminum-magnesium dome drivers are open and detailed, a USB-C DAC mode plays 24-bit/192kHz audio from a laptop or phone, and battery life reaches 30 hours. Skip them if you need top-tier noise canceling or slick controls, because the ANC and button layout are merely fine.
