I wonder what headphones other people came from that make them feel the sound on these is so stellar. I'm trying to break mine in some by running pink noise & frequency sweeps.

Conversely, have you heard any other wireless ANC headphone that sounds better than the MDR?

I can also answer that, the only other ones I've owned were the Bose QC35 and Sennheiser PXC 550 and I can say that at least to me these sound better and overall would grab the sonys over the other two.

Well these headphones sound a little muffled to me compared to my 1ABT's. Maybe that'll change overtime. Maybe it won't.

Are you really a mad dog?

Lol. Sometimes

Got mine from Bestbuy at Union Square NYC the other day. Is everyone else hearing some sort of artifact or static on these while the Noise Cancelling is on? It's not always the case, but some times this artifact or static comes out of nowhere.

I did the first couple of days, but it went away and hasn't come back.

Hi, I am new to the forum and have been closely watching this thread, as these headphones interest me a lot. 
 
I was wondering, can the 1000x pair with multiple devices at the same time? For example, can it receive phone's notifications sounds while listening to music on the computer?
 
Thanks

No, sorry, it pairs to one device at a time.

Backbeat Pro 2 seems then an option to really consider vs MDR1000x if you are not focused on NC. Lower price tag, multiple device pairing, physical controls, some NC and hopefully not creaking as I have seen on some commenters opinions in this forum...

We'll see how well it fares with reviews.

Nice, hope I don't meet you in your mad dog phase!

I am also trying to break these, or at-least loosen them up a bit, I like the design and comfort a LOT more than my older MDR-100BNS which have the best sound in my opinion. I sold the Sennheiser Momentum Wireless a while back due to sound quality when compared to the 100ABNs. The Momentum Wireless had NO life or character, it was too balanced for my taste, also the Bluetooth connection kept disconnecting all the time while riding the subway in NYC.
 
My main requirements are:
1- Noise Cancelling (I Ride subway to work for 55 Minutes per commute)
2- Wireless ( I cant stand wires, specially while wearing a winter coat)
3- Sound Quality (Not so bassy but also not dead like the Momentum Wireless)
4- APT-X ( I use a Android phone with APTX)
5- Over-Ear & comfort ( I need earmuffs due to the winter in NY also nicely padded)
6- Aesthetics ( in black and not insanely huge)
 
The Sony MDR-1000x seem to check almost every box at this present comment, altho the 100ABNs do sound a bit more exciting, but I HATE the size and annoying creaking from all the plastic, which is why I keep pumping pink noise to the 1000x for hours straight.
 
 
I have 30 days to return if the sound doesn't improve to my taste, also, the bluetooth connection is better than the 100ABNs. I tried the BOSE QC35 and Altho I did like the feel and comfort of the pads, I didn't like the sound quality, the lack of APT-X was a HUGE turnoff for me.
 
Still early, just two days with the 1000x so far, lets see. I'll update in the coming week or so. Thanks all!

I think it can.

I ran a 12 hour pink noise clip yesterday along with some other various burn in clips repeatedly.
