Size Comparison: Sony ZX100 vs Sony A20
Here is a real world size comparison between the new ZX100 and A20. The new ZX is not that much bigger and not much thinner and compact when compared to the ZX1. When comparing the ZX2 to ZX100, the difference is minimal, ZX2: 6.5 x 13.1 x 1.8 cm vs ZX100: 5.4 x 12 x 1.5 cm. Price is 699 Euros for the ZX100, so rather steep, but not as horrible as the ZX2.

Sony introduces new 'h.ear on' and 'h.ear in NC' Headphones
Sony’s “h.ear on” headband type headphones ooze style as they combine a bold single finish design with a comfortable fit. Hi-Res Audio compatibility and accurate bass responses are complemented by the 40mm HD driver unit that reproduces sounds of up to 60 kHz, while lightweight CCAW voice coils yield high-linearity responses in high-pitched sounds. Aiming to provide the best sound experience, the diaphragms have been titanium-coated to minimize unwanted vibrations resulting in crystal clear sound. This is the ultimate listening experience. Should you want to take you headphones on the move with you, their foldable mechanism and a detachable, cross-talk reducing cable in matching colour allow for the “h.ear on” to be securely packed in the handy supplied carrying pouch.
