MDR-NC022 OEM vs. MDR-NC22 aftermarket

[BIGHMW]

I own a GREAT pair of MDR-NC22 noise canceling IEM's that I proudly use with my MZ-NH700, and I always wondered what the differences are between my phones and the supplied MDR-NC022 IEM's that come bundled with the new NW-S7xx series of Walkman units.

Do the NC022's come with a shorter cord (SP/SL version-style) that the NC22's, as I am a bit frustrated with the over-lengthy 1.5m cord of the NC22's?

Will the NC022's work with other units, and with my RM-MC40ELK remote I use with the MZ-NH700?,

and

Are there any significant differences in SQ and in definition, as they are both N.U.D.E EX Series Noise Canceling IEMs with similar physical characteristics?

Thanks, I await both your replies, and your reviews.

Hi BIGHMW

The only difference between these iem's is that the MDR-NC22's have the built in noise canceling box on the cord while the MDR-NC022's has it built in to the NW-S7xx player instead.

The MDR-NC022's can not be used with any other player as on the ear phone jack there is a small connector attached which will only fit the socket on the NW-S7xx players.

Apart from the above they are exactly the same.
