Hi Lynn! They are currently at $699 and were around $589 or so. I was close at the lower price but then I was female dog slapped by the reality that I need to pay for some doctor ordered exercise equipment for my Physical Therapy at home. But if after that I can afford them, I shall give reeeeeeeeeeeeeeally serious thought to it as my days are primarily spent listening to music and watching TCM and Criterion Collection films. And I am doing PT stuff with headphones on!

I do like the Px7/8s a LOT too (and the James Bond versions because…well…It is 007!!!!

Thanks, brother! Please be assured your words are very much appreciated!

Ort,

While I may prefer the Px8 overall (when all factors are considered), if the Bathys is on sale; that becomes a near/no-brainer to me. Especially if the sale outstrips or equilibriates the price difference with which to begin between the two.

Excellente’!

In the manner of the late Walter Cronkite and “You Are There” – I was there but I could not find where you guys were for the headphone stuff.

Profe positive that I am as Bugs would say, a Maroon. I still have, use and enjoy music via my Bose QC45s and Sennheiser Momentum 3s. And several other off brands that I do not feel guilty a about passing out while wearing them after PT. 😉

You are correct about quality differences betwen tethered and wireless ‘phones. For years, one of my brothers has totally distained BlooToof for being inferior or as he once put it, “To Mediocrity and Below!”. Well this past year he bought is wife a pair of Senneiser Momentum 4s and in what I can only term as a moment of plebeian empathy he tried them out.

He ordered himself a pair of Mom 4s in white for his wife and he kept the original black pair he had bought her. He uses them quite frequently now. Personally I prefer the Mom 3s for their looks but so long as he no longer chides me for using BlooToof I care not.

The Bathys have been on sale for a while now and I so desire to own a pair as I do so enjoy the Elegia I got for my self (after buying a pair for my son as a Christmas present!). The Bathys look gorgeous and I trust the headphone judgement of all of you lads without hesitation, trepidation and with only my usual dose of mild fiscal reticence. Their currently being on sale brings them ever closer to my Monetary Comfort Zone.

Thank you Sir William of Minion!
