    Going fully Wireless IEMs. Too soon? Or are we there yet?

    I just picked up a pair of these to use as my new workout headphones. I had exactly the same thought about the bass response. Overal, I'm very pleased with the sound quality of them.

    Sony Xperia Z5 Range - Audio Quality

    My understanding is that it only works through the headphone jack. But, the PHA-3 has it built in if you're looking for it in an external DA converter/headphone amp. That said, I have not found it to be a big difference for at least the files I have and the type of music I listen to. So, I...

    Sony PHA-3 balanced portable dac/amp

    That didn't work. I bought a USB-C to Micro USB cable and it's working fine. Adapter wouldn't work.

    I love minidisc - is that weird?

    Just pulled my discs out of storage. Apparently I have 80 sealed blanks.

    I have too many hobbies to allocate 1Z level money to a DAP.

    Exactly why I was leaning towards replacing my ZX1 with a WM1A rather than a ZX2..

    Cable ordered. But it won't have the little pin that the stock cable which came with the PHA3 does. Is that going to decrease functionality?

    Sony PHA-3 balanced portable dac/amp

    Connection question. I recently updated my cellphone from a Xperia Z5 to an Xperia XZ.  The XZ has a USB-C port on it rather than micro-USB. I picked up a couple of adapters for my old cables from Anker, and they seem to be working fine for everything except connecting the XZ to the PHA3.  The...

    SONY NW-ZX2

    I remember reading on the ZX1 thread that the ZX1 processor wasn't compatible with newer versions of Android than what it already had. I suspect the ZX2 might have the same limitation preventing Sony from being able to update it further. Does anyone know for sure? I was looking seriously at a...

    Sony NWZ-ZX1 - 35th Walkman Anniversary model

    My ZX1 battery is toast. I'm waiting for the WM1A to be available in the US to pair with my PHA3. I'll still keep the ZX1 and probably get the dock that will let me keep it charged while I listen.

    Sony's new flagship 2014 - MDR-Z7

    Xperia phones have terrible amps in them. I never plug my Z7s into my Xperia Z5.

    What do you think of it? My ZX1 battery died, but my Z5C doesn't sound as good in my PHA3?
