Px8… Bathys… Overhyped? (alien.top)

I read a lot of review raving about Px8. I wasn’t about to pay $800 for them, but I got a pair at $450. Still wondering if they’re worth that even. Sound to me seems cloudy, and over bassy. I’d previously bought Focal Bathys after raving reviews and found them to be flat and thin and not coming anywhere near loud enough. Maybe my ears are too spoiled/ruined by the last 2 years of listening to mostly mid-tier IEM’s and my disappointment in these two cans is just because of bluetooth vs wired. Anyone else disappointed in Bathys or Px8?

I have the Bathys and the Px8 and they are great for what they are. I have had the Bathy's for almost a year and the Px8's are new (about a week old).

I like the both but I still prefer the momentum 4s more than the rest. They were a steal a couple days ago for $200. I would save some of your money and get a set of those if you are looking into wireless headphones.
