Headphoneus Supremus
It's never the headphone itself that is balanced, it's always the cabling that does it, any phone can be cabled balanced as long as there are 2 seperate wires going to each driver and the wires are correctly connected to a balanced source (ZX2 isn't strictly speaking balanced but has seperate ground for each side).
Oh well, there's not two separate wires, for the MDR-1RNC phones, of course.....but I have to say, I think the cable has improved the sound even further. ( I don't think I'm imagining it. )
One thing's for sure, the ZX2 is AMAZING !!!
The cable has definitely improved the sound further.....listening to the ZX2, is more orgasmic, than having SEX !!
