Bizarre thumbnail I saw, a WM1ZM2 in the body of a ZX500… honestly looks great, I love my ZX500 for how small and compact it is.
That's a picture of a WM1Z M1, shrank on the horizontal axis.

That's exactly why I still reach for my ZX507 the most even today, right balance of everything (SQ, aesthetics, convenience, bulk-free)
Thank you
So only 14 Hours (around) with Direct ON, with Qobuz streaming is normal ?
ZM2 is an uncapped unit

My obsession with single dynamic driver begun with EX1000. What makes EX1000 special? It was the first IEM which cared about high quality stock cable. It was the first IEM to sport housing specifically designed to maximise driver performance and minimise wear fatigue.
Is the sound still relevant? Yes, and imo incredibly rewarding if your library consist of well recorded classical and Jazz recordings.
I never found EX1000 to be ideal for pop or rock music.
M2 dsp are easily audible in EX1000, I can easily hear each making a difference. With first generations of walkman, I felt they EX1000 sounded lean and underpowered, but listening to my 1AM2, I wonder if Sony needs to revisit the EX1000 again.
My EX1000 with Custom Ear Tip.
The specs in the manual give a good idea. While the specs are based on "ideal" configuration and usage, so actual usage will usually be less, users have found that the published usage numbers are a good estimate, and actual usage will be close to the published usage.
As a general rule, extra processing (DSP, Hi-RES, DSD up-sampling, Streaming, Bluetooth, etc) will consume more battery. Often, MUCH MORE battery.

- Format of the content.
- Settings of the connected device.
Note
- The values shown in this topic indicate the approximate battery life when the player is playing continuously with the default settings.
- Even if the player is turned off for an extended period, a small amount of battery power is still consumed.
- Battery life may vary depending on volume setting, conditions of use and ambient temperature.
- The battery is consumed considerably when the screen is on.
- The battery life may become about 60% shorter when some of the sound adjustments are active.
- The battery life may become about 20% shorter when the [High-Res streaming] function is active.
Any idea why DSD remastering doesn't affect volume with streaming sources? Makes me wonder if it's actually enabled in these cases - I need to do some listening to find if I can hear any differences, or maybe just test battery life. The user manual doesn't seem to mention it not working with streaming sources.
Yeah, DSD remastering isn’t enabled with streaming services (even if you’ve selected it). It’s just for local files played through the ‘Music player’ app
Slightly off topic, anyone know a good place I can buy an IER-M9 these days? I’m toying with the idea of getting one again after selling a little while ago.
Looking for a new one, that’s reasonably priced and ships to UK

Thank you,
Well, then I can consider that 14 hours of low gain, Direct ON, streaming (Qobuz with Flac High-Res and balanced jack) is a good result.
Isn'it?

So thank you to all those who kindly replied to me earlier.
The beginning is a bit confusing on this "battery life" point.
On the other hand, it's not at all about handling and it's already superb to listen to.
Cheers

info: library with over 1000 people in 1 large room. Almost anybody uses tws. i have ongoing dropouts. With ldac no chance at all, dropout every few seconds and by just turning my head a little. Samsung s23 ultra in front of me on the table. Even with priority on stability: massive dropouts all the time for 8 hours now. but the dropouts are shorter, no as long as via ldac.

Wired still the most reliable and problem free method to listen in this kind of places.
