wish they would of put a fuller screen on the 300. I wanted to get this one bad back in the day, but having a half screen turned me away to the 1Z.
Maybe better to have gone straight on to enjoy the 1Z. I had the ZX300, then 1A before attaining the 1Z - I did enjoy the journey and appreciated each step up.
It is quite small, but I actually appreciate that now, being a bit higher it feels quite nice in the hand to use the touch screen.

I hear ya, I need to get on the 1Z train like you. Man, I didnt know that the 1Z2 was so much bigger than the O.G. 1Z?!?! Wow!

The N7 is very good with the organic, amazing bass (and I'm coming from TH900s).

Giving these a try again.

Last year I bought a set used. I was very underwhelmed. I just couldn't figure out why they were so popular. So I resold them after a few weeks of trying to like them. But I guess maybe I didn't have the right collection of tips at the time. Now I tried the TRN T-tips and they seem to have done something different. They sound more engaging. So it seems they'll be staying this time lol

From your post I thought you had a WM1Z - come join the team.
The M2 are definitely a lot bigger, I got to hold one in my hand recently, even if they topped the DMP-Z1 for sound the size is a no-go for these little hands.

lol...not that rich yet. But I will join the team soon my friend. I had the 1Z signature (Thru Mr. Walkman mods) on my old 1A and I crave it. The sound was so good!

New Penon ASOS Plus with the Sony WM1A MrWalkman's firmware and the Penon DOME IEM. Out of everything today this was the home-run!

Cheers!

T51p not in picture.

Coming up on 10 years, still brings a smile, when listening to this. Other than the busted usb input on the Mojo, can't believe how well the battery has held up on both AK100 and Mojo.

Same with IE 900, they're so tip/fit dependent. with some tips they sound so lean and have a splashy treble that rings.
With IE800, you were always sure there was a good fit, when pressure equalizes on both side after inserting them.
