Reply to comment by mainguy in Some cheap headphones are so good it's almost ridiculous. Buy the HE400SE and SHR840A. by mistersprinkles1983

You're wrong. I have HD600's on a Fiio K7 with the balanced cable. No comparison to the Bathys (and the HD600 are >> than the 560S). Sure the Bathys aren't great on bluetooth but if you do a wired connection with USB they smoke everything else I have including HD600. You might not have heard the Bathys with the latest firmware. The original firmware sound was anaemic and kind of lame but now they're terrific.

Yeah I had them on OG firmware. They were fine but can't compete with decent open backs imo. Heck i'd take a hd650 over my focal celestee any day, let alone a Bathys which is quite a bit below my Celestee tbh.
