Reply to comment by IllSurround1274 in Just pulled the plug on Focal Bathys. Good idea? by [deleted]

I wish the yokes were slightly longer as it is on the last one to reach over my ears. My AirPods Max are like this too, but they clamp differently I think.

I wish there was a passive mode to listen with ANC off (though I understand this is due to keeping tuning consistent so I understand)

I wish the EQ was more than 5 bands, there is a delay in switching between sound modes, transparency mode has a noticeable hiss in it, and while ANC is definitely tolerable, I do wish silent mode was stronger.

I bought these for the Focal sound, which I’m a fan of, and though I added a little treble through the EQ, it is definitely the best wireless headphone I’ve ever listened to

That’s helpful, thanks. Odd that you can’t turn ANC off. That hiss would drive me insane but I never use transparency mode. I’m worried that if I buy these I won’t use my Celestee anymore haha. But I’d imagine there’s a noticeable difference in sound quality.
