Frequently Asked Questions
Which headphones does the MUC-B20SB2 fit?
Sony lists it for the Sony MDR-Z1R, MDR-Z7 and MDR-Z7M2.
What do I need to use a 4.4 mm balanced cable?
A player or amplifier with a 4.4 mm balanced output, such as Sony Walkman NW-WM1 and NW-ZX series models or a desktop amp with a Pentaconn 4.4 mm socket. It will not plug into a standard 3.5 mm headphone jack.
What is the benefit of balanced connection?
A balanced connection drives the left and right channels separately, which can improve channel separation and give a cleaner, more spacious sound with compatible sources.

The MUC-B20SB2 is Sony’s running-change successor to the MUC-B20SB1. Sony keeps the same specifications and features; only the model suffix changed.
