New Audio Technica ATH-M50x with Removable Cable
I have a question here: I have bought the M50x and I like them. I had the M4U 2 before which to my very untrained ears do sound a bit better BUT the batteries are getting on my nerves and they are very uncomfortable when NOT on my ears. Having them in rest-position is a no go for me. So in the...- Ilkyway

Zaroff it is the occasional message with the invasive lowering the volume that annoys me. My ZX1 is plenty loud enough too... most of the time. But this message often comes in an inconvenient moment. Ilkyway- Ilkyway

Any news on comparing an EU ZX2 to a Japanese? I think all Europeans would be so glad if someone would/could compare those two directly regarding volume cap. My ZX1 does show an annoying message once in a while about loudness and ear-health... I can click it away and go back to the former...- Ilkyway

This is something I will never understand 1200 bugs (in Euro) for this thing but 100 bugs to protect it (it has to look good to or where is the point in having such a beautiful player?) but it can cost 30 bugs at the most? It is like having a 500 bug phone but saying a 1,99 app is too much. ...- Ilkyway

Sony NWZ-ZX1 - 35th Walkman Anniversary model
Thanks for your answer. Both options seem to be unavailable in Germany. Maybe I found a solution on e-bay: an adapter from Sony WM to Micro USB. Than I can use my phone-cable. Ilkyway- Ilkyway

@ kms108 thank you for explaining. I have found the adapter on ebay.com and ordered... lets see, how this will work out. For me the long Sony Cable is just not practical on the go. Ilkyway- Ilkyway

@ kms108 sorry for asking rookie questions, but what is QQ? And is there any possible way to order when I cant speak Chinese not even the tiniest bit? Maybe such an Adapter or a short Sony cable is purchasable else where too? Ilkyway- Ilkyway

SONY NW-ZX2
I am from Germany. I have the ZX1 and in terms of volume cap it gives a warning massage once in a while that it will heart my ears when listening to loud music and than puts the volume down. I can close that massage and turn the volume up again without any problem but it gets on my nerves. For...- Ilkyway

Sony NWZ-ZX1 - 35th Walkman Anniversary model
I have been searching the web for a while now, can anybody point me to a SHORT cable to connect the ZX1 to USB? Since I am in Germany it has to be a shop that ships to Germany. I would be very great full if someone new a source for this. As for SHORT I mean 5 to 7 inches OR 12 to 18 cm the hole...- Ilkyway

Thanks T.R.A.N.C.E, I do not need "more" in terms of higher android versions. I just had some problems with apps on the ZX1 and knowing that it runs 4.1.1 I was asking myself if the 4.2.2 on the ZX2 would solve these problems. For example swift-key was turned off ever so often, that I deleted...- Ilkyway

What do you all think of it being android 4.2.2 rather than 4.1.1? Is that a significant difference or nothing to bother about? Ilkyway- Ilkyway

Can I ask some total nub-question? 1. Does an Amp only enhance what comes out of the headphones or does it influence the sound signature too? 2. Am I right, that the MDR-Z7 on its own would be no good with the NW-ZX2 because the X2 has not enough output for it? 3. What do you think about the...- Ilkyway

Sony NWZ-ZX1 - 35th Walkman Anniversary model
Dah! What else should it be when sold in Germany as this is quite in the MIDDLE of the EU? Mine is from the same source and it is EU certainly. Sometimes when I put volume too hight (for the EU Parlament that is) the volume drops down considerably and I get a warning-massage about the "high...- Ilkyway

Sorry to chirp in in a forum? That is so sweet ;-) Thank you for the recommendation. That one is an alternative that I have considered. But it is not quite as cleaned up as the other one. But I will give it a try if the problem with the smart one is not solvable. Ilkyway- Ilkyway

mochill I looked just into it. I will bring my daughter to buy it so I can give it a look over. She is the music-lover in the family I am the book-worm. It looks quite sufisticated at first glance but might lack some book-features. What about batteries-drainige? I've read that in the...- Ilkyway

For audiobooks it neets to be a dedicated app so that the fun is not spoiled. You need bookmarks but the app has also to remember where you last left of if you are listening to more then one book at a time. Sleeptimer of cause (but that might make sence with music too?) and if the sleep-timer...- Ilkyway

Dumbleroar forgot to ask: have you an app you'd recoment for audiobooks? I think, apart from the stops the "smart" one is quite good. But the stops are a real deal-breaker.- Ilkyway

Thank you, since I had no problems on my other devices I thought it might be a sony-thing. I wrote the the programmer, did not answer back jet. But since other apps just stop working on the ZX1 as well it might be a sony-problem after all?- Ilkyway

I have a problem with my ZX1 and maybe someone here has an idea about it: I use an app for ausiobooks on it (Smart AudioBook Player) and it stops frequently without any reason. Every 2-3 track with the end of the track the app stops playing. As I use the same app on my Galaxy Note II I no it...- Ilkyway
