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?

Bathys are very fit sensitive. I returned mine.

Do you have any comparison to other Focal headphones? This is also how I would describe the Stellia, but Utopia is bigger than that… would be very cool if the Bathys fits me
