Thank you for the information.  To me, then, Xperia is out of my consideration.

I finally received my MDR-1ABT.  How fantastic it is!  The best Sony Bluetooth headphones!   I was hesitating to decide which one, MDR-1RBTMK2 or MDR-1ABT.  The former is about $100 cheaper than the latter, and I didn't know whether the extra $100 would be justified.  I think it is.  The pair...

Don't you understand the questions? Is it wrong to ask more people for their opinions? I appreciate your and others' reviews, but would like to see more opinions.

How many of you have MDR-1ABT?  Where did you get yours?  How much did you pay for yours?  Is it worth the price?

Wrong post.  Sorry.

Do they sell any LDAC Bluetooth transmitters?

I also used to have MDR-1A which is similar to MDR-1RBT.  I think the paddings of MDR-1RBT are a little thicker, but not by much.  The pressures of MDR-1A and MDR-1RBT are similar to me.

I used to have Sony MDR-1RBT.  It is a really good pair of bluetooth headphones.  I really enjoyed it, but eventually returned it because there is a new Bluetooth cans from Sony (MDR-1ABT) which I plan to purchase when it is available in the US.   In the pictures, MDR-1RBT looks smaller than...

Thanks, guys, the burning-in process and the high quality mode indeed have improved the sound of my cans.  Very impressive!   As for the buzzing noise, I usually don't hear, but last night when I wore the cans, I heard it.  The surroundings were really calm.  This morning when the surroundings...

Thank you, guys.   I have placed an order of the pair of headphones last Saturday and received it today.  My first impression is that the pair is just OK.  I like the design, but the sound is kind of cheap.  I may need to burn it in for a while.

Hey, HEAD-FIers, I know someone has already mentioned that everything is plastic except the top part of the headband.  How about the parts holding earcups?  Are they metal?  If not, are they strong enough to hold the cups securely, not easily breakable?

Has anyone purchased the more expensive one?  If you have, could you provide us with more information such as conditions with photos?

You're welcome.  As for your DAC and AMP, I have no experience with them.  I guess they would power up your MDR-Z7 enough (70 ohm).   I am searching for a headphone amp that supports 24bit/192khz or higher resolutions.  I think Sony MDR-Z7 has the capacity to utilize them in full.

  I have purchased a cheaper version which sells with the warranty that can be used only in Japan.  Sony USA won't honor it.  If you have any issues, you will have to contact Sony Japan.  I think that this policy is stupid.   Otherwise, I don't see any differences.  Mine is great!
