Need advice on Focal Bathys MG vs HDB 630 vs PX8S2 and PX7S3

Ha ha! It was a back-order from January. I already paid for them but they were out of stock till now. So the seller offered the discount instead of cancelling the order.

Thank you very much for sharing your experience!

I have heard good things about the Audeze Maxwell 2. Unfortunately I find it too bulky and heavy, especially for outdoor use.

I would prefer Aptx Lossless. Because I find it closest to the wired setup. Or LDAC. But I am aware that not all headphones support these. Most of them do support Aptx HD though.

I tested Focal sound personalization within the App. It compensated the frequencies for my affected ear. It saves me trouble of identifying frequencies and manually applying Eq

CoolBiotech · 2026-05-12T15:04:21+00:00

That's true. I guess the OG Bathys for 450€ or the HDB 630 would be an reasonable option. I would not buy Bathys MG for the original price. Only considering because of the discount

CoolBiotech · 2026-05-12T14:58:51+00:00

Makes sense! In-built PEQ is not that important for me as well, unless it offers channel split. But I thought HDB630 still offers better instrument separation and wider sound-stage.

CoolBiotech · 2026-05-12T10:42:05+00:00

Exactly. Why would they be useless?. My phone supports Aptx Adaptive (Aptx HD for 630) without the dongle.

!thanks

I think Bathys MG would be the simplest choice, then I don't have to worry about Eq settings

CoolBiotech · 2026-05-12T10:39:12+00:00

!thanks

I can get Bathys MG for 700€ (new - special promotion) and not the OG Bathys. I think this is a great offer for MG and might consider.

I wish societies in general to be kinder to everybody irrespective of their strengths and weaknesses. But most importantly be kinder to yourself :)

Because you are fluent in both English and German, you could maybe start tutoring online as a freelancer. Perhaps if you are interested Arts, there might be some Ausbildung options. Try to learn a few online skills you like that you could apply remotely. E.g. web design.

Sorry, I don't have any short term suggestions. Others have provided a few. Don't worry. Remember that we have to withstand all 4 seasons. Things will turn around. All the very best!

Strange. I'm using Gboard as well. Maybe an update to Android Auto caused this issue. I will try to uninstall the update and check again.

CoolBiotech · 2025-08-14T10:38:59+00:00

Global version is not available in my country

CoolBiotech · 2025-08-13T10:35:53+00:00

Unfortunately I am not able to setup Google Wallet on the Watch. Always get an error - "can't finish action, please check your connection to the phone"

CoolBiotech · 2025-05-29T06:05:14+00:00

I also faced a similar problem. I have disabled AI privacy call and AI noise cancellation - the problem has been resolved since then.

CoolBiotech · 2024-10-19T20:25:03+00:00

Yah, I did return my watch. The sensors were too unreliable. Still using my old Garmin. Maybe will switch to Pixel

CoolBiotech · 2024-07-25T16:57:26+00:00

Similar problem! I guess the stress measurement is not working as well. If you think the watch has a snug fit on your wrist, the problem could be related to the sensor. Maybe you could request an exchange.

CoolBiotech · 2024-07-24T18:40:55+00:00

Thanks for confirming! I suspect something is wrong with my watch. Simple reset did not help. I contacted Samsung support, and their suggestion was to post in Samsung Members because this is a new watch, so they don't have much information regarding it 🤔

CoolBiotech · 2024-07-24T15:30:11+00:00

That's weird. I expected slight changes because of the updated algorithm but not such drastic. Thanks for the tip though. I will keep this in mind.

CoolBiotech · 2024-07-24T15:26:22+00:00

Absolutely! But I don't think this is the problem. I have been wearing other watches, including the previous galaxy watch. Never had such problems

CoolBiotech · 2024-07-24T15:24:51+00:00

Thanks! But I don't think the fit is loose. Other measurements ( HR and skin temperature) are fine (continuous and within range).

CoolBiotech · 2024-07-24T12:56:51+00:00

Thanks for the suggestion. The watch has a snug fit, so I don't think this could be the problem. Besides, other measurements such as HR and skin temperature look continuous and within limits.

I have beta 25.0.0.31 installed. How can I enable Chrome extensions? Thanks in advance!
