The MDR-1000X is a whole new level in bluetooth and noise cancelling!
At over three times the price I would hope so!![]()
Does anyone know the difference between the MDR-ZX770BN and the MDR-ZX770DC models?
They both seem to have ANC, bluetooth + a wired mode. I was thinking maybe it's just a different naming system for the US market, as all the DC models I've seen are being sold from the US, but there are some BN's sold from the US as well.
To answer my own question, in case someone else will be facing it:
The DC model seems to be the exact same headphones as the BN model, sold at discout chains. Reference: https://esupport.sony.com/US/p/model-home.pl?mdl=MDRZX770BN&LOC=3#/howtoTab
The Sennheiser Momentum definitely edges out the ZX770BN in more than one category. The thing I noticed with Sony is that they often have this extremely safe sound signature that seems to spread throughout their earphones and headphones (the modern ones at least), with successive models having almost incremental increases in performance. This makes for an almost predictable listening experience...and it makes it obvious that the cheaper headphones are missing something when compared to the more expensive ones. Sennheiser manages to capture a lot of performance with a bolder and yet more refined sound signature while keeping each headphone somewhat unique.
