Getting one through customs (especially when its not in the box, setup and used with headphones while i walk through customs) is possible. But explaining them why i don't need to pay taxes for a brand new/sealed one is getting complicated i guess^^

Maybe its time to dust off your Reisepass :wink:
How much would you save on taxes vs buying now?

I wait for my 1ZM2 for about 3 months (order in February receive mid April) and the day I received it, it’s DOA. Sony took well over month to repair (as of today 18/5) I still have got my unit back from their repair)
3mth darn long waiting time. DOA was pretty unlucky.

I am expecting end of June collection for mine 1am2, keep finger cross it dun delay too long. Btw I only notice the new model 2 weeks ago and make the booking. LoL. Didn't really follow on dap.

I am going to buy an open box deal, so an unused one where the box have been opened by the e-earphone staff.

They cost 349000yen, so roughly 2600€.

Without taxes (10%), thats 2340€

This is one track I can recommend that really demonstrates what your M2 Walkman is capable of:


It’s a tower of sound information from sub bass to electric guitar to enveloping spatial soundstage.

Digital album purchase is encoded in 24bit 44.1KHz Flac

Gents,
I have a quick question. I have the NW-WM1AM2. I have activated the battery saving function and have the icon in the top right hand of the screen and the battery icon showing at 88%. All are in white. After charging and the icon shows full, when disconnected, as the battery runs down, the battery icon outline is then in red and the '+' sign is also in red. Do you have the same (for those who have activated the function)?

If you are going to buy from e-earphone, I think buying new is better deal.
10% off 396,000yen if you register. Final price will be 356,400.
If you a physically coming to Japan, Yodobashi Camera, Bic Camera and EDION should have them in stock and will offer 10% 'tax free'. Yodobashi Camera is the bigger 'stand alone' store, the other two have more branches. They will all be the same price, 396,000 JPY.
