And you can get none of the convenience for $70-80 with wired IEMs
People consistently making this apples to orange comparison is the dumbest thing.
Do you also point out you can drive faster in a 2 door sports car than you can a giant SUB? Probably would be a dumb comparison to make wouldn’t it?
Yep.
If the Max 2 (if/when) that happens takes a similar leap things are gonna get really interesting
I mean the headphones are usually $500 and the amp about $300.
So I guess yeah it’s a decent deal, assuming you were already in the market for the Aeon and also need an amp to pair it with.
Maybe a specific use case but it is a fine deal. Maybe not “insane”. I’d reserve that for something like audeze’s Black Friday deals, like when a year or so ago I grabbed an LCDX2021 for like $675.
For the right person it’s a good buy, I’m just not sure there’s many.
Do these not use the exact same cable outside of length/termination?
The Celestee is my main headphone (APP2 as the convenient daily) so I’ve been very curious to try the Bathys, also love the aesthetics on the sand/brown model, hopefully I’ll get to try them one day.
