When you compare these two home cinema projectors they both are truly the titans of the industry. So between the Sony VPL-XW7000ES and JVC DLA-NZ9, the winner is……… The JVC NZ9 That said, you're reading this article because you want to know the answer to help you decide which projector to get for your home theater. So Which Projector Should You Buy, The JVC DLA-NZ9 Or The Sony VPL-XW7000ES?īoth 4K laser projectors output absolutely incredible images. Doesn't come with any built in streaming apps.The JVC has a low input lag time but if you're a hardcore gamer the Sony has the advantage. Sony doesn't list a more accurate native contrast, while JVC does so we're going to give the edge to the NZ9. Sony claims to have an infinate:1 dynamic contrast ratio. JVC offers a full 8.9 million pixels while the Sony SXRD only offers 8.3 million.īoth new projectors utlize a single blue laser.īoth projectors cover an extremely wide color gamut but the JVC has an advantage when it comes to colors. JVC gives you much more installation flexibility than the new Sony projector By being able to project an 8K resolution image your investment is futureproofed as more and more 8K content gets released. Nevertheless, this can be avoided at least to some extent by using reference tracks.The Sony VPL-XW7000ES has an edge with an extra 200 lumens of brightness. So when working with HD 681 and the model average calibration, keep in mind that bass and treble may not translate as well. Since these headphones may vary so much from pair to pair, the average calibration profile that’s bundled with SoundID Reference can’t be as accurate as with other, more consistent headphones. Among the pairs we measured, the sub bass varies +/- 5dB and even more than that in the top end above 10kHz. This is where Superlux leaves a lot to be desired. How much do they differ pair to pair in terms of frequency response? There may be some issues in the high mid range and in rare cases in the very top end and sub bass. How accurate and consistent is the correction effect among different listeners?įor the most part HD 681’s perform well at delivering consistent frequency response to a wide variety of listeners. Overall THD is no issue for HD 681 and that is quite amazing for such affordable headphones. The harmonic distortion increase in the low end is nothing to worry about, and while the peak at about 4kHz looks troubling, it wasn’t audible in listening tests. THD performance of the HD 681s puts to shame some headphones that cost a dozen times more, including the headphones that they mimic, AKG K240 Studio.
