    SONY NW-WM1Z / WM1A

    There is a pocket on the front, but it’s only suitable for a few credit cards or notes really, it’s too tight to the rest of the case to fit in the iems. The case is excellent quality and it’s very adjustable, with lots of velcro straps and drawstrings if you enjoy meddling with stuff! The...

    SONY NW-WM1Z / WM1A

    Set up with my new Van Nuys case. Not easy to get hold of in the UK, but glad I sourced this ....

    Yes, I'm using mine with the WM1A. They are a great match, I'm using balanced connection with the comply tips. (The silicone tips sound light on bass) The sound is wonderfully detailed and transparent. They are so revealing....poor recordings sound awful, but good quality recordings are simply...

    There are so many variables here, and you can adjust the sound through the tips, eq’s etc, to suit your taste. I’m new to this type of analysis (I’m not new by age unfortunately), and ultimately what people want to know really are these a good buy or not. The answer to this is ‘it depends what...

    I can’t hear any treble ‘spike’ as described above.The sound is airy (like an open backed headset), refined and sweet. They remind me a bit of the signature offered by full size grados, but tighter and more defined layering/separation. Changing the tips & the eq settings have a BIG impact on...

    The soundstage is interesting. As I've increased the treble (in my default eq setting), the soundstage is definitely wide rather than 'deep'....to me it sounds like you are almost right in the middle of the performance (it's not like you are sat back in the audience if that makes sense). This...

    It sounds amazing. But we’re spending a lot of money so we rightly point out their flaws, it’s infuriating that the ‘total package’ isn’t an improvement at least, missing accessories, flimsy box, housing and cable that looks cheaper, It’s a disappointment that could easily have been improved. Do...

    I agree, they could have easily improved the quality of the presentation and accessories.eg When you use the case with the 4.4mm the plug sticks out, who designed this ? Give me an hour with Sennheiser and I’d present their failings, it’s not difficult!!!!. (Leather isn’t synthetic unless it’s a...

    Listened to more variety of tracks. Tweaked my eq settings to suit my own ears, this has really brought them more to life for me. Astonishing bass. I’m not usually a bass fan, but this is so controlled and `meaty`. I can hear clear separation between all instruments. I had to mention the...

    My Initial impressions straight out of the box...... (just tried with standard and balanced connections on WM1A.......rubber vs comply tips). Straightaway I can hear plenty of detail....and dynamics. The Comply tips give a good seal and result in plenty of bass. The balanced connection improves...
