It doesn’t have the UK/CA or CE marking also no address etc. seller bought it in Japan.

Yes it is a bargain. It wasn’t posted as a Japanese version but I knew from the photo it wasn’t a UK version so one question later to confirm region and google play store , I couldn’t check out quick enough! Yes Monerjoner that case looks classy I am considering that one.

Yes I will and thank you. Couldn’t believe my luck to be honest . Now to get a case.

Just setting up my new a306 Had a massive result, managed to pick up a Japanese version on EBay for £185 in mint condition .

Hi , considering the Hiby or Sony a306 . Has anyone used both? If so what are your opinions on them . Is the Sony worth the extra? Currently using Sony a45 with Mr Walkman software. Thank you

Looks good . Do you have a screen protector on with that case?

I have some of these for sale in the classifieds if anyone’s looking and interested.

Hardly used Fiio EM5 earbuds, complete with original box, storage pouch and spare foams. They sound great, I just don’t use them, prefer headphones. Be good to go to someone who will appreciate them. From smoke free home. Price includes shipping in UK Royal Mail Special Delivery.

Ahh thank you, that’s good to hear.

Wow good price . Well enjoy .

Ahh ok , was that used or new? How are you finding the volume , can I ask what you’re listening with . I’m still in two minds . Want to use my Sennheiser 599 with it but not sure about volume. So toss up whether to get Japanese version and forgo the warranty or UK version from Amazon. Also...

Is that the Japanese version from the Neetex seller on EBay?

Hi, can someone confirm that the Japanese version does have the google play store. Thanks

There is a seller on EBay called Neetex who is selling Japanese versions, they are based in UK and delivery is next week so must be in this country. I’m considering buying myself just haven’t pulled the trigger yet!

OMG just loaded Walkman One with WM1Z and Plus V2 onto my A45 and wow ! Previously had the stock A55 firmware installed when I bought it, I removed the sound cap, but this just opens it up and sounds much better. Just listening to Grace Jones on my Koss ksc75 and wow! Even better on Sennheiser...

Thanks for your reply, I’m sure that’s loud enough for me I don’t like listening too loud, already have tinnitus in one ear so have to be careful!

Yes the sensitivity is 100.9 dB / mW SPL.

Thank you, as I thought , technically I suppose the seller is correct but Sony don’t have to honour it. You pay your money you take your chances. Think I’d rather buy from a UK buyer, as long as it will run my easy to drive Sennheiser 599 headphones to a reasonable level . I don’t listen at...

Thanks for your reply, the seller said it has a 12 month manufacturer warranty, any idea if it became faulty would Sony in the UK be able to help if it was bought here but a Japanese model?

Hi, thinking about buying the 306 , I have the a45 with Mr Walkman a55 software and volume cap removed. From the 100 or so pages I’ve read of this thread it appears that it would be a step up in sound quality now the bass issue is fixed . I have a couple of questions: 1. is anyone driving...

Thank you . 👍

Hi, I have a Denon pma600 ne integrated amp, just bought Sennheiser 599 headphones mainly for use with Sony a45 but would like to use with hifi too. Problem is 599 is only 50 ohm easy to drive and when plugged into Denon way too loud can barely move the volume knob from zero (can still hear...

Thank you for your help , I’m more clued up now on what I need . I have read but I’m none the wiser. I’ll post another question I’m sure someone will know the answer .

Amazing, thank you . Here comes the next stupid question…. If my headphones are 50 ohms should I be looking for a specific impedance? Thank you .

Thanks for your reply , forgive me for being thick but how does this plug into the amplifier and where would I buy one . I’ve googled what you suggested and am a bit lost. Thank you
