Focal Bathys Bluetooth headphones
The French brand makes a remarkable entry into the world of portable listening with its first Focal Bathys Bluetooth hi-fi headphones. Detail, precision and dynamism are the order of the day, thanks to a dedicated electronics section and amplification optimized to fully harness the acoustic qualities of the transducers. Mike80 praised this expertise:
Clearly, the DSP works wonders, and just like Apple’s headphones, Focal’s tuning is a thing of beauty. With the TV, when you’re playing games or listening to a movie soundtrack, they’re just fabulous […] They’re definitely worth a try, and Bluetooth has clearly taken a new step forward in my eyes.

Fiio M17 DAP
The Fiio M17 DAP uses an optimized version of Android for direct transmission of audio streams to the DAC without digital modification. This makes it possible to listen to streaming apps via WiFi, as Gilles Le Goff explains:
Under Android, it is compatible with all music apps. It plays all current formats – including Qobuz and NativeDsd. In short, an acoustic marvel. Take the time to listen to it with headphones that suit your ears, and take the plunge – you won’t be disappointed.

LG Ultragear 27GN800-B QHD gaming display
Thanks to HDR 10 and 99% coverage of the sRGB color space, the LG Ultragear 27GN800-B gaming display reveals rich colors and minimal lag thanks to DAS (Dynamic Action Sync) for a smooth gaming experience.
Ah, what a pleasure to go from 24″ to 27″! An ideal screen for me, as it allows me to do my job (color rendering) and game. It was able to enhance the very colorful Kena: Bridge of the Spirit, but without adjustments, the VA panel doesn’t distort the colors.

Marantz NR1200 connected amplifier
Versatile, the Marantz NR1200 connected amplifier is compatible with numerous online music services and supports Bluetooth audio streaming as well as Apple AirPlay 2 and HEOS protocols for multi-room. Its value for money is a real asset, as pointed out by Esgourdes:
Because of its price and its many features, the NR-1200 may be a favorite with many of us. A rare model under the 1,000 euro mark that makes for some great experiences!

Focal Theva N°3 System speakers
Featuring the Slatefiber cone drivers inaugurated with the Chora range and a TNF inverted dome tweeter, the Focal Theva N°3 System speaker package ensures a rich, balanced reproduction. An opinion shared by Bladetogo:
Whatever the musical genre, it’s a delight to listen to every time. Whether it’s electronic music (Daft Punk, Phoenix…), French pop (Goldman, Aznavour), soul (Stevie Wonder) or even old-school rap (2Pac, IAM). The highs are ultra-precise, the lows are present but not aggressive, and the midrange, rather neutral, nonetheless brings a great deal of dynamism to the sound. In short, I have the impression of hearing each instrument separately, which is a real treat.

Meze 109 Pro hi-fi headphones
The Meze 109 Pro headphones stand out not only for their sumptuous design with walnut wood shells and careful construction combining zinc and manganese steel, but also for their detailed musicality and wide soundstage, as JeromeC testifies:
High quality open-back headphones that are well worth their price, both in terms of build quality and sound rendering, and for me there’s very little to complain about. Their qualities are evident, and will only improve once the break-in period is over.
