4:13 That’s actually because the cable includes an ADC inline - the Lightning port is a fully-digital spec and doesn’t include support for analog signals. $59 is still a *really* ridiculous upcharge for it, especially considering that Apple’s own DAC dongles are ridiculously cheap.
Fuck Apple, man... Just, fuck 'em. Maybe back in the day they used to be innovative and at least somewhat consumer friendly, but no more. And I don't want to hear how other companies are "just as bad".
That’s literally how Apple products are. And people (Apple) wonder why actual people (us) are abandoning them. Apple has taken their “we’re better than you” attitude and has applied it to its own users. Because they think they own the tech world and have forgotten that that specific ideology is what killed them back before STEVE JOBS took over. We need another Steve. Let’s just say THERE IS A REASON WHY THE IPHONE SE 3 still exists... and there’s a reason why there was no iPhone 9th generation... and why the iPhone X was so vastly different than the iPhone 8. They scrapped all the iPhones designs they had already designed passed the iPhone 8... that’s why the iPod touch 7th generation wasn’t updated. Someone hated Steve and was just WAITING for him to go so they could start their vision of Apple *cough* Tim Cook *cough* Craig federighi *hack* *dies*
Because he seems to have intense reactions to the smell of things I have always thought he had sensory issues. (like when he is actually smelling something not just saying something smells lol)

Those on the 'seas' are miles ahead of you and everyone else. 🏴☠🏴☠🏴☠🏴☠🏴☠🏴☠🏴☠🏴☠ Honestly, I've just got a hard drive bay and look for enterprise hard drives myself.

The airpods connecting to your iPad and ruining everything is the exact reason why I hate bluetooth headphones. They randomly connect to devices when you don’t want them to, it’s hard to switch between devices unlike corded where you can just unplug them and plug them into another device, you have to remember to charge them, they have terrible microphones, and the only advantage they have over corded headphones is that you don’t have to deal with a cable which I feel like isn’t even really that big of a problem.
@@samuelllakaj5439I only have trouble with controllers connecting, but for me the biggest annoyance is using the same headphones for multiple devices and having to walk over to the pc to disconnect them so the phone can actually find them. my favorite setup is a wireless headset (not bluetooth) for the pc that has a button to switch to bluetooth mode for my phone, no waddling over to the pc then
God I want this man to review other things so badly. Like those fussy clocks that don't use hands, or weird trains, or reptiles, or the taste of citadel paints, or different types of meat pies.
To my ears (bass player ears too), the Focals kicked the excrement out of the AirPod Toasters- the Toasters sound way bassier and frankly muddy, whilst the Focals had an even response across the entirety of the spectrum.
6:16 - I have Focal Bathys. Sadly, as far as I can tell, you can't use them AT ALL while off. So once the battery is cooked, they are e-waste. Would be more than happy to be corrected tho!
That would be an instant deal breaker for me (if I was looking for bluetooth headphones in the first place). The Sony WH-1000xm4 I got with my phone can be used wired with an aux cord when turned off, which is actually my preferred way to use them. Even then, I will use my Meze 99 Neo or AKG K712 Pro over the Sonys whenever I can, since both of those sound better.
I looked it up, and according to a post on iFixit, the battery is not designed to be user replaceable. It's crazy to ask someone to pay several hundred bucks for something that will only last a few years, especially when it's not due to a real technical limitation. $1200 for the same problem is like an automatic disqualifier IMO.
@@justinharrison9521 yeah, for the next 5-10 years but i would bet that you can't get a new battery in 20 years. On normal headphone most likely only your cable will break but it is easy and cheap to change to another one. When you have good cables they will last for decades. The only thing you have to change regularly are the earpads but it is the same for this Bluetooth garbage. I have an Sennheiser HD598 which is now ~14 years old and still works. My HD660s is 6 years old and my Focal Celestee is 3 years old. I expect all of those headphone will still works when the last Bathys goes to the landfill because of a dead battery and no replacement.
9:28 There was a big fuss about the battery on the bathys dying one day, and it has been confirmed that they use a very generic cell which can be replaced independently.
Listening to the freakish ears segment between the Max's, 600's and these on actual reference headphones is completely blowing my mind. Like, all three of them have their own subtle flavor of good. Anyway thanks for being a big influence and helping me get into higher end audio and it's great to see an actual way to turn off BT stuff!
Yeaaa. You and me both. I now have 15 pairs of classic and modern AKGs and finally got my dream pair of Austrian Audio Hi-X65's. And I blame Wade for ALLL OF IT (In much the same way as he blames Frank!) Damn you Wade!!!! (But also, Thanks..)
What i like about the bathys is that it works even when you charge it. Most of the high end bluetooth headphones like Bose turn off when you charge. Its a shame you have to turn it on to use the 3.5 mm jack. But after 1-2 years (i bought it around launch), it still has good battery life. And i read it maybe in the manual or on focal website, but they change the battery if there is a problem with it. If i remember correctly it not a proprietary battery, you can buy one if you want to.
Next up the line is the Celestee and a new one I forgot the name of, they are wired thankfully. Put that with something like Audioquest Dragonfly (F You, Samsung for removing the headphone jack!) and you are good to go.
Funny thing about the digital pushback. I still buy movies on disc. Why? Because I can watch them any time I want, I don't have to worry about them not being available/deleted, and I OWN THEM. I had an argument with a guy on another video once (well, he called it an argument, I called it wasting his time) about how his collection of streaming movies was far superior (you know, the ones you get the codes for in physical media?). He said I was "old" and "backwards" and that it was stupid to own discs. I asked him what would he do if those servers suddenly shut down and all that money he spent on those movies were just gone. He said "oh, they can't do that, it's illegal". Then there was the huge Sony movie server in the UK that shut down a couple years ago. I hope he wasn't getting movies from that one.
(Agreeing with you, to clarify in advance.) Doesn't even have to be *their* servers. What if your internet connection goes down? As happened to me the other week (cable was damaged), so I had no internet connection for a few days. Fortunately I had some entirely-offline media to tide me over, but it was rough. Alternatively, what if the media is written off for tax purposes and deleted from the servers, like all those Cartoon Network shows a while back? Or, what if they lose the rights to a song in the movie and have to edit it and their choice of replacement song doesn't fit, is it still the same? Did Han Solo shoot first? (Not quite the same situation but still a post-release change that people have strong opinions about, and streaming only makes it more possible for other movies etc to make similar changes.) Physical media isn't affected by *any* of that, because you always have the exact copy you bought. (I personally would also argue in favour of DRM-free digital downloads filling a similar role, but that has downsides that are likely dealbreakers for some physical media enjoyers, and is not a 1:1 equivalent. But there's a mashup I only have because I was sent an mp3 over discord, because it's otherwise *completely unavailable* on the internet as a whole.)
I feel like the Airpod Max's were better at removing hiss - but I don't think you'd have a bad audio experience with anyone. Its all about UX at that point.
I've owned the Bathys since they were released. Worth every dollar. And the app is fine (has the noise cancelling settings, EQ and hearing compensation too), no signup if you don't want to. Then there's the properly good battery life, and at least Focal has also said they will replace batteries (not free of course) when they eventually die.
I bought them this week and I love them ! But is it true that the bathys will sound better over time? I heard that they need at least 40 hours of listening to get the full power and stuff
@@Lukas-vy5pb No that's a common myth in the headphone world, that they need to "burn in" before they get good. It's caused by a shit ton of factors but the gist of it is "People noticed that they like the sound of something they've become used to better than the sound of something new and instead of rightfully saying that *you* need to get used to them, they've started saying that the hardware is changing"
the problem with having an app is that it will stop working one day. Eventually it will not be worth the R&D cost to the company to keep the app updated and compatible with every OS release and support will be discontinued. It's good that it doesn't require a login because that's another service that will one day stop being supported so another point of failure
Bluetooth tech has its convenience but the reliability and persistent issues can be a pain. The fact that these highly-priced headphones will eventually become useless because of battery life is utterly frustrating.
I love how Sennheiser got there that “wash” of the cymbal, while almost any other brand makes them sound like they not “washy” at all. Just bonkers. We loosing so much high end there. Brutal.
Did anyone else get that Randy Feltface sketch in their head when Wade invented "blue"? Because there are, after all, no blue foods... name one blue food...
That mini "incompetent degenerates" rant made me laugh way too much. It's especially funny to me given how much I drive for work and some days the incompetence of others really gets to me.
I'm still perfectly happy with my old Bose Quiet Comfort from 2016. Changed the ear pillows once. Still going strong and keeping plane rides comfortable.
Fun fact. I watched a doco on fake fashion. They reckon a genuine LV bag smells a bit like cheese. So if the same thing applies to french electronics, they're kosher!
This is why I like my Skullcandy Crushers. Once that battery is gone - They'll still work over a cable. The aux port is wired straight into the drivers. I'll just lose the bass slider as that requires power.
I have some focal listen wireless (got given them) and they do the same thing, if the power runs out I can just jam in an aux cable and other than the play pause stuff it works perfectly
I know you’ve basically written off wireless headphones for having a limited lifespan but do try to get those batteries replaced. Apple will probably be shit if not impossible to fix so throw those in the bin but those AKGs will be using a standard lipo battery you can disconnect and replace with another one on eBay.
NGL the old AUX stinkbud mic almost sounds unacceptably good. Like, we had this TEN YEARS AGO!!! But somehow our Bluetooth microphones never really got much better in that time. BROTHER HUMANS ARE SOON GONNA LAND ON FREAKING MARS HOW HAVE WE NOT FIGURED OUT HOW TO MAKE DECENT BLUETOOTH MICROPHONES BY NOW?!?!
@@mysteryboyee Yes..... So how about we update that standard then? Like I know that's very much easier said than done, but come on now this audio quality is an insult to modern tech. I'm studying to work in the live audio industry. And I know for a fact, standards in audio transmission and transmission of data in general can change. If there is a limitation then you upgrade and change your systems even if it's cumbersome and hard. This is not mission impossible.
Maybe I'm the only one, but I absolutely fucking LOVE the bogan-ass rants you go on during the mic tests; having lived in Victoria for some time before returning to my home in the states, that garbled orc-speak is what I remembered most from the various social gatherings I was privy to.

I believe this is the first time we've heard the headphone test song beyond the typical cutoff point in one of these videos

I think he did it one other time in an After Show vid where he compared a bunch of cans back to back?
@@OtakuUnitedStudio yes
God I love tech. I hate tech though.
I WAS NOT READY FOR THE SONG TO CONTINUE
Funny thing about the digital pushback. I still buy movies on disc. Why? Because I can watch them any time I want, I don't have to worry about them not being available/deleted, and I OWN THEM.
I had an argument with a guy on another video once (well, he called it an argument, I called it wasting his time) about how his collection of streaming movies was far superior (you know, the ones you get the codes for in physical media?). He said I was "old" and "backwards" and that it was stupid to own discs. I asked him what would he do if those servers suddenly shut down and all that money he spent on those movies were just gone. He said "oh, they can't do that, it's illegal".
Then there was the huge Sony movie server in the UK that shut down a couple years ago. I hope he wasn't getting movies from that one.
(Agreeing with you, to clarify in advance.) Doesn't even have to be *their* servers. What if your internet connection goes down? As happened to me the other week (cable was damaged), so I had no internet connection for a few days. Fortunately I had some entirely-offline media to tide me over, but it was rough.
Alternatively, what if the media is written off for tax purposes and deleted from the servers, like all those Cartoon Network shows a while back? Or, what if they lose the rights to a song in the movie and have to edit it and their choice of replacement song doesn't fit, is it still the same?
Did Han Solo shoot first? (Not quite the same situation but still a post-release change that people have strong opinions about, and streaming only makes it more possible for other movies etc to make similar changes.)
Physical media isn't affected by *any* of that, because you always have the exact copy you bought. (I personally would also argue in favour of DRM-free digital downloads filling a similar role, but that has downsides that are likely dealbreakers for some physical media enjoyers, and is not a 1:1 equivalent. But there's a mashup I only have because I was sent an mp3 over discord, because it's otherwise *completely unavailable* on the internet as a whole.)
GUYS WAKE UP AUSSIE TECH MAN IS HERE
EDIT: OI MUM IM POPULAR
Hahahaha
Aussie tech car drummer man
Tony go brrrrr on oily rag
I’m an Aussie tech man and it’s 7:48 am
Hahahaha 😂
4:56 that had no right to catch me so off guard. I was not ready for more song:tm:
The side story about blue fruit was worth the watch on it's own.
Those microphone test stories are funny alone. That Raycon/KZ mic test was a funny ramble.
I feel like the blue fruit is a personal story that we need to know more about
I feel like the Airpod Max's were better at removing hiss - but I don't think you'd have a bad audio experience with anyone. Its all about UX at that point.
I've owned the Bathys since they were released. Worth every dollar. And the app is fine (has the noise cancelling settings, EQ and hearing compensation too), no signup if you don't want to. Then there's the properly good battery life, and at least Focal has also said they will replace batteries (not free of course) when they eventually die.
Sounds cromulent to me. I don't think the AKGs can have their batteries replaced easily.
I bought them this week and I love them ! But is it true that the bathys will sound better over time? I heard that they need at least 40 hours of listening to get the full power and stuff
@@Lukas-vy5pb No that's a common myth in the headphone world, that they need to "burn in" before they get good. It's caused by a shit ton of factors but the gist of it is "People noticed that they like the sound of something they've become used to better than the sound of something new and instead of rightfully saying that *you* need to get used to them, they've started saying that the hardware is changing"
@@naunau311 Ok ! Thank you for answering
the problem with having an app is that it will stop working one day. Eventually it will not be worth the R&D cost to the company to keep the app updated and compatible with every OS release and support will be discontinued. It's good that it doesn't require a login because that's another service that will one day stop being supported so another point of failure
Bluetooth tech has its convenience but the reliability and persistent issues can be a pain. The fact that these highly-priced headphones will eventually become useless because of battery life is utterly frustrating.
4:56 that caught me off guard so much. Like what?? The song isnt just 30 seconds long??
Way longer ,it's a whole track, he just doesn't use all of it. Even as he ended it, there's more
6:50 Oh sweet summer child 😂
I still can't get over how Airpods Max case looks like a sport bra
I love how Sennheiser got there that “wash” of the cymbal, while almost any other brand makes them sound like they not “washy” at all. Just bonkers. We loosing so much high end there. Brutal.
Well, thanks for that little heart attack in the beginning, I though that my sound card failed.
I thought my AirPods disconnected 🤣
Sound card failure can cause myocardial infarction?
Mildly
Been waiting for this one!!!
That audio cut-out because of the AirPoods was peak DankPods
Cant wait for him to review the GalaxyPods3
The Name "Bathys" imply you can take a Bath wearing them.
You absolutely can....
Once.
Did anyone else get that Randy Feltface sketch in their head when Wade invented "blue"? Because there are, after all, no blue foods... name one blue food...

It felt like hearing new curse words as a kid. You don't know if you like it, but it's defo weird for them lil ears
When the audio recording got messed up i felt that in my soul it makes you wanna throw the device into a volcano
The AirPods Maxes are expensive for what they offer, but HOLY DINGUS… these are ACTUALLY expensive!
Mostly they offer belonging to the cult!
And they are one of there cheaper products
6:55 - hugely based
bluetooth mics is why i refuse to do calls on my airpods or overears. i just still hold the phone up to my ears
I'll stick to my Sennheisers.
Your videos are always on point, keep it going
"ditching windows" I think that is a win for linux!
That mini "incompetent degenerates" rant made me laugh way too much. It's especially funny to me given how much I drive for work and some days the incompetence of others really gets to me.
On the subject of noise cancelling I would love to see you talk about etymotic iems and their foam tips, for those who prefer passive noise cancelling
2:30 OH MY PKCELL 🗣🔥
I'm still perfectly happy with my old Bose Quiet Comfort from 2016. Changed the ear pillows once. Still going strong and keeping plane rides comfortable.
@greystone9350 Batteries can be a little annoying I agree.
0:22 i wasnt paying attention and straight up thought my senn'ies or my amp died LOL
Fun fact. I watched a doco on fake fashion. They reckon a genuine LV bag smells a bit like cheese. So if the same thing applies to french electronics, they're kosher!
7:39 “VERY” fair test
Bro this video came of three minutes ago how are you on 739
@@aaronthelobsterbaby3084skipped ahead
@@aaronthelobsterbaby3084 I watched through the entire thing idk then
Mate there're already a bunch of mic tests that involve a Bluetooth mic and a non Bluetooth mic one
I love your unhinged rants when testing microphones. 90% of them could be Monty Python skits.
"You don't just add bass to everything" excuse me if i want to wreck a song to my liking i will ,if i want wub wub ill get wub wub.
Now it’s my turn to start a channel reviewing all of the stuff he sent to his local Cashies
Sennheiser HE-1 review coming soon
Love the fact you need to explain "smell" despite everyone of us knowing exactly the types of smell
3:52 Tech purge? That sounds neat.
airpods max stopped kids from hearing all the curses
Woken out of my English slumber to watch a aussie man shout at tech
More song got me ngl I was so confused and caught by surprised, also I want some face cam when you do those microphone stories
The peppa pig band-aid is dope
No, it’s not dopamine it’s a plaster!
Hey dankpods they are making a Shrek 5
I was beginning to think we wern't going to get a Dank Pods episode this week. Nice work. 👍
This is why I like my Skullcandy Crushers. Once that battery is gone - They'll still work over a cable. The aux port is wired straight into the drivers. I'll just lose the bass slider as that requires power.
love the Crushers. 👍
I have some focal listen wireless (got given them) and they do the same thing, if the power runs out I can just jam in an aux cable and other than the play pause stuff it works perfectly
It is easy for utter crap to continue working, and Skullcandy is the epitome of utter crap.
@@Deadguy2322forreal yeah, and you're still on here commenting
0:29 add this to the curse moments.
Getting a "switch to iphone" ad on thid video felt ironic
I know you’ve basically written off wireless headphones for having a limited lifespan but do try to get those batteries replaced.
Apple will probably be shit if not impossible to fix so throw those in the bin but those AKGs will be using a standard lipo battery you can disconnect and replace with another one on eBay.
You saying the maxes are going to cashies had me sad like witnessing an execution
NGL the old AUX stinkbud mic almost sounds unacceptably good. Like, we had this TEN YEARS AGO!!! But somehow our Bluetooth microphones never really got much better in that time. BROTHER HUMANS ARE SOON GONNA LAND ON FREAKING MARS HOW HAVE WE NOT FIGURED OUT HOW TO MAKE DECENT BLUETOOTH MICROPHONES BY NOW?!?!
Because it's literally not possible as of this moment, it's a limitation in the current version of the bluetooth standard itself
That's why I use the PS5 planer magnet headphoens for voice calls. I wouldn't run around outside with them however.
@@mysteryboyee Yes..... So how about we update that standard then? Like I know that's very much easier said than done, but come on now this audio quality is an insult to modern tech. I'm studying to work in the live audio industry. And I know for a fact, standards in audio transmission and transmission of data in general can change. If there is a limitation then you upgrade and change your systems even if it's cumbersome and hard. This is not mission impossible.
I'm not holding my breath on "landing on Mars soon" until they actually announce a launch day. They've been saying that for 30 years now.
@@OtakuUnitedStudio Not in 10 years at least. We wouldnt even be returning to the moon until starflop is replaced by something actually capable.
I was not emotionally prepared for the extended headphone test
1:05 I'm holding you to your word wade
Maybe I'm the only one, but I absolutely fucking LOVE the bogan-ass rants you go on during the mic tests; having lived in Victoria for some time before returning to my home in the states, that garbled orc-speak is what I remembered most from the various social gatherings I was privy to.
That microphone test made me keep thinking of that Randy Feltface "Name me one blue food" gag.
Blue means there’s sharks in it!!!
