I'm actually interested to see what Sony do with the 5 contact 3.5mm socket.
They've added accessories like stereo mic for recording (very cool) and the special (do they count as passive?) noise cancelling headphones.
If they can develop accessories that will interface through the 5 contacts for passing at least data (like the way old PDQs use pulse tone dialing to charge credit cards) then that would be pretty cool, especially as they can uncover the audio jack, unlike the usb which is still not a waterproofed standard.

They should be active noise cancelling, creating the 'anti wave' of the surrounding noise to eliminate it. Of course they also block noise passively like any other closed In Ear earphone.
The 5 contacts definitely should have some potential. I want a super slim xenon flash to plug in there

I think he was referring to the fact that the noise cancelling process happens inside the phone, instead of being handled by the headphones as it normally happens... so this time the headphones do not have any battery and are slim, they just have a microphone which sends the sounds to the phone and then the phone create the "anti-sound"... so yes seeing it this way this kind of headphones could be called "passive" noise cancelling headphones

I would not classify such headphones as passive, they are active. They are actively cancelling the noise coming from the outside. Passive noise cancellation is just isolation of external sound using the headphones with no actual electronics. This would be large headphones which cover your entire ears and block outside noise.
By adding extra electronic noise cancellation, the headphones are now active noise cancellation.
All sony products which feature noise cancellation are ACTIVE, the only reason why the walkman devices have the NC inside the device is so that headphones are smaller and more portable. Haveing owned 2 walkman's with NC, I know that it's active since there is a huge reduction in outside noise, something passive NC cannot do.
I also own bluetooth NC headphones, MDR-NWBT20N, they also have active noise cancellation built into them.
Summarizing, Z2 noise cancellation is active and passive.

As @CrownedAkuma stated I meant with the processing being done in the phone the headphones themselves are passive. The noise cancelling still active.

Esato was founded in the year 2001 and was mainly targeted at Sony Ericsson mobile phone users. We started with a couple of services offering free ringtones, grayscale logos for the Ericsson T39 and R520 models. We have expanded the service to include free color backgrounds for over 50 mobile phone models. Other popular services are the discussion forum for anyone interested in topics about mobile phones and accessories. Even if the focus was targeted at Sony Ericsson owners, we now have separate forums for owners of other brands. The most popular sections are the News, Blog, discussion forum, Free themes, free color backgrounds and a service where users can upload images from a PC and download a converted image down to their mobile phone.

I understand your point, but just to mention, there are already some waterproof devices with micro usb uncovered. Many tablets and mobile devices in Japan have been waterproof for a while, and sony were one of the last to uncover the headphone jack, while retaining waterproofing. The latest sharp tablet with IGZO display, for example, has an uncovered usb port.

^Seriously? Could you give me a name or a link?
I didn't know that was possible.

sony already made waterproofed usb port for the core, so naturally it should arrive to the whole Z series. i was expecting the Z2 to have it. they should make all the next Z devices with this feature and i wouldn't mind if they ditch the magnetic port for slicker design.
