Our Verdict

Focal Bathys Wireless

Audeze Maxwell Wireless

The Focal Bathys Wireless and the Audeze Maxwell Wireless are both premium headphones with balanced sound profiles and very good build quality, but they prioritize different features. For on-the-go, casual use, the Focal perform better, but the Audeze are better suited for gaming. The Audeze have a dedicated boom microphone, which produces more natural-sounding speech with better noise handling, and these headphones have a wired or wireless console and PC compatibility. While you can use the Focal for wireless gaming on PCs, if you're using aptX Adaptive, their latency via this connection is higher than the Audeze's when using the wireless dongle. However, you can use their wired USB-C connection with full audio and mic compatibility.
