Kindly guys how does the Sony compare to v moda wireless and harman bt as I am on a trip and all are offered to be sold but I can't try any of those so I rely on feedback
I love bass and non fatigue sounds signature
Someone did a comparison between the V-Moda Crossfire Wireless and the Mdr-1ABT in a different thread and the verdict was that the V-moda were very good but the Sony were great. Don't remember the detail though. I think he ended up returning the V-Moda and keeping the Sony.
The Harman Kardon BT are considered excellent value at their price point but are not in the same league as the other two.
The Sony are definitely non-fatiguing - I listen to them for hours without a break with ease. The bass is perhaps more personal than any other aspect of a headphone's character. I personally think the amount bass the 1ABT puts out is just about perfect but I'm not a basshead. It's arguably better than its wired counterpart (MDR-1A), which has slightly more present but boomier bass with a bit of bleed into the lower mids.
I haven't heard the v-moda but understand it to be more of a basshead headphone so it may suit your particular tastes better.
For me, LDAC was a big selling point with the Sony and what allowed me to rationalise a somewhat incremental upgrade from the MDR-1RBT MK2. As I'm writing this I'm listening to a jazz SACD wirelessly using my Xperia Z5 Compact, at the maximum sound quality setting and with no drop-outs whatsoever. The simple fact is, no other headphone can do that today. That another manufacturer can claim to have "the most advanced wireless headphone in the world" (with not even so much as AptX support) is laughable.
