If you're looking for exceptional sound quality and are using them primarily for music and TV, the Focal Bathys with their over-ear design and higher overall sound quality offer an immersive experience. They are also suitable for air travel due to active noise cancelling and have a long battery life, but their size makes them less portable. On the other hand, if you need something compact and versatile for exercise, calls, and gaming, the Razer Hammerhead True Wireless earbuds are more suitable and provide good value, with features like game mode for lower latency, a stem design to better capture your voice on calls, and they are sweatproof.

"As much as I hesitate to recommend a headphone that sells for $800 USD, if you’re looking for the best sound quality you can find in the ANC space: it’s the Focal Bathys."

The Verge

Chris Welch | August 2019
"This latest set is more “Pro” than not in both looks and features: they offer active noise cancellation, a low-latency gaming mode, and have switched to a in-ear design with silicone tips. Just like many of the company’s laptops and gaming accessories, the 2021 Hammerhead True Wireless include Razer’s full Chroma RGB system. It makes for what Razer calls “the ultimate wireless earbud flex.”"
