    Side By Side Comparison - AirPods Max, B&O H95, Dali iO-6, B&W PX8, ML 5909, M&D MW75, Focal Bathys and more

    I'm a 20+year professional drummer so I'm sure my hearing is not the best :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:. I don't listen that loud all the time, only on days I'm in the mood to jam out. All of these headphones get loud enough for relaxed, everyday listening.

    Side By Side Comparison - AirPods Max, B&O H95, Dali iO-6, B&W PX8, ML 5909, M&D MW75, Focal Bathys and more

    I have no idea, but my current Brown H95 was definitely louder than the Lamborghini Edition I purchased from B&O. I'm not saying it's night and day, but it's about 2 clicks louder on my iPhone. Or let me phrase it like this, with the Ferrari Edition, to jam out, I would have to go to max volume...

    I 1000% percent agree with this although I don't have the bumpy noise issues you experience. In fairness, I haven't used the Ultras running or on a very bumpy commute to test this.

    I'm US only so I can't speak on volume restrictions. I personally think either are good for Rock. I personally prefer the Focal Bathys in all cases when it comes to sound quality to the PX8, but I've seen other users who've had experience with both say they preferred the PX8 for Rock. Both...

    Side By Side Comparison - AirPods Max, B&O H95, Dali iO-6, B&W PX8, ML 5909, M&D MW75, Focal Bathys and more

    The Focal Bathys and PX8 are both at the very least just as loud as the AirPods Max. If my memory servers me correctly, both of these are a little louder than the AirPods Max.

    If commuting or running errands, no. Just hang them around my neck. If going into the office or traveling, yes. I love the case. Very well thought out. Hard case, but still a smaller footprint than many of the other portable headphone cases.

    I have fell in love with the H95. I am fairly certain that there are 2 different versions of this headphone. Let me explain. When the H95s were first released, I ordered them in Black from the B&O Website. My impressions of the sound was a little relaxed with an excellent bass response, a very...

    Side By Side Comparison - AirPods Max, B&O H95, Dali iO-6, B&W PX8, ML 5909, M&D MW75, Focal Bathys and more

    Thanks @angelom . I think I may have a slight seal issue with my glasses on the iO-12. I prefer the bass response I get on the iO-12 with ANC On. It's very close though. I still use the iO-12 with ANC off, mainly when I connect it to my gaming DAC. ANC off definitely brings a slight increase in...

    NEW Bang & Olufsen Beoplay H95 ANC Headphones - Reviews & Impressions

    Tough call. Overall, I think the PX8 is the slightly better headphone. I personally enjoy the H95 a little more. H95 is a little closer to neutral in sound quality, has a better battery life, better call quality, and are a little more portable in their ability to fold and with their case having...

    Side By Side Comparison - AirPods Max, B&O H95, Dali iO-6, B&W PX8, ML 5909, M&D MW75, Focal Bathys and more

    So I've been using these a couple of weeks now. I had initial impressions on these after a few days, but due to the holidays here in the states, I haven't had time to post them. Well, the time has come so here goes. Design - Very similar to the M4U 8 MKII. This means, nothing special. Not my...

    I do own the iO-12. My official comparison to the others will be coming soon. For the time being you can see my initial impressions here: https://www.head-fi.org/threads/side-by-side-comparison-airpods-max-b-o-h95-dali-io-6-b-w-px8-ml-5909-m-d-mw75-focal-bathys-and-more.958727/post-17835407...

    I promise, you did not raise my susceptibility the least bit. That's not the place I currently reside in life. I didn't start or continue to maintain this thread for the approval or praise of others. Honestly, and this may sound harsh, I don't care. As I stated, I did this because there were a...

    You are more than welcome to start your own thread and go into the Xs and Os of ANC if that's what's important to you. As you stated, priorities are personal, and I make it very clear in my original post what mine are. This comparison thread was started because a few here on Head-Fi reached out...

    Side By Side Comparison - AirPods Max, B&O H95, Dali iO-6, B&W PX8, ML 5909, M&D MW75, Focal Bathys and more

    I have not yet. I actually still own the PSB M4U 8 MKII. Never included it in my comparison because of the barebones features outside of the customized sound profile for your hearing via Audiodo. I do agree that it sounded great. I've been going back and forth on whether I'm going to pick up the...

    Side By Side Comparison - AirPods Max, B&O H95, Dali iO-6, B&W PX8, ML 5909, M&D MW75, Focal Bathys and more

    Glad you're enjoying it. The most bass are going to come from listening to it with ANC enabled. If that's not enough for you, then you'll have to look at EQ. There is a Solitaire T specific thread with users that are focused on this specific headphone. Maybe you can find better suggestions...

    New Bose QuietComfort Ultra (Oct 2023) Impressions Thread

    Did you make sure the volume was up on the Headphones itself? For some reason, and Bose isn't the only manufacturer to do this, the volume on the headphone defaults to a very low level when you insert the cable into the headphones. You have to swipe up on the volume slider until you hear the...

    New Dali iO-12 ANC Headphones – Impressions Thread

    Thanks. Just wanted to make sure it wasn't a seal issue for me. I didn't want to be incorrect in saying that the Solitaire T has a more consistent sound quality in all modes if it was in fact a seal issue. If you remember, one of my big complaints with the iO-6 was the struggle to get a good...

    New Dali iO-12 ANC Headphones – Impressions Thread

    Excellent impressions @angelom! I have a couple of questions for you. Are you doing most of your listening with ANC On or Off? Are you getting any differences in sound quality between the two?

    New Dali iO-12 ANC Headphones – Impressions Thread

    I love the QuietComfort Ultra. My new favorite commuter/travel headphone. Compared to what I remember of the 700, I wouldn't say huge changes. Sounds better than I remember of the 700 (I wasn't a fan of the 700 sound). I believe the Ultra is a little more comfortable. The new immersive mode on...

    New Dali iO-12 ANC Headphones – Impressions Thread

    I agree about the iO-12 being big and not very travel friendly. I personally will put them in my suitcase for certain trips and carry my AirPods Pro 2 and maybe Bose QuietComfort Ultra in my book bag. Regarding what you said about the materials and operating controls on the iO-12, this is just...
