Can you even read? Some folks including me just posted (p)reviews!
I am especially curious about how they perform with another LDAC device as compared to just aptX? For example, would love to hear about a head-to-head comparison to the $100 more expensive Sennheiser Momentum Wireless.

How is the passive noise cancellation? This seemed poor on the MDR-1As. Also, are they prone to wind noise when outside (note that they have vents)?
Yep, those vents are still there. I'm considering plugging them with some microphone wind shield foam. It should do the job.
EDIT: I just tried this. Cut out two small squares of foam from an old pair of cheapy headphones and rolled them up, shoved them in the holes. Went outside on what is a pretty windy day and the wind noise is almost completely gone with no noticable effect on bass.
3) some of the incredibly expensive Sony devices with LDAC
Just only the point 3 means more than 1000 Euro.

The LDAC works really well with the NW-ZX2. Sound is excellent!

How can you be sure that this is LDAC at work? The ZX2 is a great sounding DAP by all accounts, even with non-LDAC headphones. As per Giogio's question, have you compared it in LDAC vs AptX?
This will not be easy, as it would be even more difficult to discern the difference between AptX and LDAC than it is between MP3 and FLAC.
Therefore, it is crucial to use well-mastered hi-res source material, otherwise I would expect no difference in SQ between the two modes. I made an emphasis on well-mastered, as I can't always can't tell the difference between between a hi-res track and the quality 320 kbps OGG / MP3 version on Spotify / Google Music, so this would be another important ABX test.
