I also have the MDR-1000X and chose them over the CF2W because of ANC. I use them primarily on the train. How is the passive isolation of the CF2W compared to the ANC of the MDR-1000X? (I'm aware that the Sony will be far more isolating, but if the CF2W can come somewhat close to that while offering noticeably better sound it might be worth it)
I probably shouldn't speculate and just let someone who has them answer, but if the CF2W are like the M-100 in isolation, the 1000x is going to be a night/day difference.
At low volume I can uphold a conversation without removing my headphones (again, M-100 model) if this helps.
Edit: to get isolation to the point I hear nothing else.. anyone nearby knows exactly what im listening to.
I agree. It's not going to be an alternative if you need ANC or come close to competing with the 1000X or QC35 in that regard.
