For me the Bathys didn't have enough guts. I felt like when the song had a stirring moment, for example, when the cellos kick in on the Arrival song from the Transformers OST, the Bathys felt disappointing. Maybe they needed to be burned in more but I gave them a few longer listening sessions and found myself disappointed. I will grant you this was mostly over Bluetooth (AptX) but that's my primary use case so that's where I expect them to do well.

I have heard the PX8s have a narrow sound stage and that's not what the Bathys suffer from. The Bathys have a wide sound stage for sure and it feels like you can easily localize each instrument. I loved this aspect of them for sure. I just wish it didn't sound anemic at those higher energy moments. I think the way I would describe it would be at the point where the energy really kicks in it feels like the dynamic range cuts out a bit in the mid to low range. No amount of EQing changed this for me. When I'm listening while working I love those higher energy moments to keep my heart pumping and my heart just wasn't into these headphones.
