Sound quality
1.has active noise cancellation (noise control)
✔Sony MDR-ZX770BN
This type of device allows you to listen at lower volume levels, causing less ear fatigue as you don't have to crank up the volume to overcome background noise. Ideal for plane rides and morning commutes.
The lowest frequency at which the device produces audio. The lower the low-frequency response, the stronger and juicier the bass.
3.highest frequency
22000Hz
The highest frequency at which device produces audio. The higher the high-frequency response, the clearer and crispier the treble.
The driver unit is the component that produces sound in the device. Bigger drivers are more powerful and can produce better bass.
5.impedance
23 Ohms
Impedance is the device’s electrical resistance to the current being pushed through it. The lower the impedance, the easier it is to get higher volume and requires less power.
6.sound pressure level
98dB/mW
Devices with a higher sound pressure level are generally louder when supplied with any given audio source.
7.has a neodymium magnet
✔Sony MDR-ZX770BN
Devices with neodymium magnets are lighter and more powerful than those which use ferrite magnets. They also have more bass and clear high notes.
8.has passive noise reduction
✔Sony MDR-ZX770BN
The device sits tightly in place, creating an acoustic seal which reduces background noise and prevents your music from leaking out.
Power
The device's battery life (when in use) as given by the manufacturer. With a longer battery life you have to charge the device less often.
2.charge time
2.5h
The time it takes to fully charge the battery.
3.Has USB Type-C
✖Sony MDR-ZX770BN
The USB Type-C features reversible plug orientation and cable direction.
4.has a battery level indicator
✔Sony MDR-ZX770BN
An indicator shows you when the device has low battery.
5.has wireless charging
✖Sony MDR-ZX770BN
It supports a wireless charging standard such as Qi. To charge the device, you simply put it down on a compatible charging pad.
6.battery power
Unknown. Help us by suggesting a value.
Battery power, or battery capacity, represents the amount of electrical energy that a battery can store. More battery power can be an indication of longer battery life.
7.has a rechargeable battery
✔Sony MDR-ZX770BN
The battery can be recharged and used over again.
8.has a removable battery
✖Sony MDR-ZX770BN
The battery is removable and can be replaced by the user if broken.
Connectivity
1.Can be used wirelessly
✔Sony MDR-ZX770BN
Wireless devices allow users more freedom of movement.
Bluetooth is a wireless technology standard that allows data transfers between devices placed in close proximity, using short-wavelength, ultra-high frequency radio waves. Newer versions provide faster data transfers.
3.has aptX Adaptive
✖Sony MDR-ZX770BN
aptx Adaptive is an audio codec for Bluetooth devices that is developed by Qualcomm. It has a variable bit rate (between 279kbps and 420kbps), which means it can adjust the bit rate for different scenarios, such as listening to HD audio or reducing interference from other devices.
4.Has Bluetooth aptX
✔Sony MDR-ZX770BN
aptX is a codec used for transmitting audio wirelessly with Bluetooth. It is developed by Qualcomm, and supports 16-bit audio at a bit rate of 384kbps.
5.has LDAC
✖Sony MDR-ZX770BN
LDAC is a codec developed by Sony for Bluetooth audio. It is capable of a very high bitrate of 990kbps, which provides high resolution audio. It can also automatically adjust to a lower bitrate of 330kbps or 660kbps to increase stability.
6.has aptX Low Latency
✖Sony MDR-ZX770BN
aptX Low Latency is a codec developed by Qualcomm. It uses Bluetooth 5.0 technology to provide low latency audio (around 40ms), which is useful when you want to avoid audio lag (e.g. when playing games).
7.has aptX HD
✖Sony MDR-ZX770BN
aptX HD is an audio codec for Bluetooth devices that is developed by Qualcomm. It supports high quality 24-bit audio (at a bit rate of 576kbps).
8.has AAC
✖Sony MDR-ZX770BN
AAC is a codec that is used for Bluetooth audio. It supports 24-bit audio at 250kbps. Because it uses psychoacoustic modeling, it can provide better results than other codecs at a similar bit rate.
9.has a 3.5mm male connector
✔Sony MDR-ZX770BN
A standard 3.5mm male connector is suitable for use with all MP3 players and computer sound cards.
Features
1.has a noise-canceling microphone
✔Sony MDR-ZX770BN
These microphones are designed to filter out background noise from the desired sound. Especially useful in noisy environments.
2.has ambient sound mode
✖Sony MDR-ZX770BN
Ambient sound mode uses microphones to pass through ambient noises so that they can still be heard. It’s useful when you want to listen to music but also be aware of what’s happening around you, for example when you’re jogging but still want to be able to hear traffic.
3.has in/on-ear detection
✖Sony MDR-ZX770BN
Sensors can detect when they are removed from your ears so that the music is paused, saving battery life.
