Hope that battery life won't be killed by forced resampling as in A105.

Don't like the crimpled design style, prefer original.

Release date?

 

[Kalnet101]

Based from e-earphones, I think it'll be released on 27th Jan. It should be the same for the ZX707 as well. Do note this is the Japan release date. I don't think they officially announce the release date for other countries yet.

It almost borders on ugly, but I do wonder how it will feel in the hand. The colors are also disappointing, but oh well. There might be some collaboration models so I guess I'll just wait for those to be announced.

There might be a Miku collab

It seems that you can connect it to an external DAC.

Looks like 3.5mm only?
Such a shame - was really hoping for a balanced port on this model.

The 3.5mm on this will be very good knowing sony plus the usb Dac will useful

Looks good, i was going to buy a small android based device for audiobooks and music over bluetooth anyway.
Too bad EU version will probably be handicapped again, so i will have to import an asian one.

What for, more power? It's a sony, so i wouldn't expect much, but it should be enough for any iems at least.

Yes, more power, but mostly as I had settled on 4.4mm cables for all my headphones and use these on my ZX507.
Was hoping the 300 series would be nearer to the 500 series than 100, but apparently not.
