Well, my tempered glass screen protector went on beautifully. It's time for a little 24-bit Judas Priest live in 1982.

What screen protector did you use and where did you get it? Thanks!!

Can someone enlighten me regarding the option to charge the battery to 90% to extend life? I'm not familiar with this practice. Thanks.

There is "Baterry saver" (or something like this) mode in the settings. Easy. Just turn it on.

Yeah, I saw that, I was just interested in proper battery care. Did some research, and the recommendations for battery care covers a pretty broad range of what to do. Still don't understand it, but I guess, from what I've read thus far, is that I'll go with "shallow" charges and discharges to prolong battery life, with an occasional full discharge to keep the meter reading more accurate. Thanks!

So guys, have been using a NW-ZX2 with a PHA-3 Amp into MDR- Z1R Phones..... Love it, but thinking of jumping into a WM1Z.... Thoughts? Really significantly better? Not bothered about streaming, use my Xperia-xz-premium phone for that (it's gorgeous I have to say and sounds beautiful through the PHA-3).....

TL;DR, Lithium-ion batteries lasts longer if they aren't fully charged/discharged and their longativity aren't susceptible to partial charge/discharges, it's just the chemistry of the material at work.
There's a lot of confusion because previously the most common rechargeable batteries are Nickel Cadmium batteries, but their chemical property is exactly the OPPOSITE of Lithium-ion batteries (ie they work better when fully charged and fully discharged). So a lot of the "common sense" build up from the Nickel Cadmium era gets passed on and seem to go in conflict to what is being said today which are instructions for Lithium-ion batteries.

How do you like it stacked against a Sony NW-WM1A? I love my 1A...

Today I had the chance to compare both.
Same songs same format same iems same cable so both on balanced (tg334 with btg audio) Both devices uncaped so same volume.
I was expecting greater differences. So before firing 2k on 1z try to compare both like I did. Personally I keep my excellent 1a which is 95% the same as 1z. Really

I was expecting something like this, so honest, as they have the same circuit on balanced (forget the other premium components on SE side or the F-resisyors on wm1z)

 

[proedros]

there is a used wm1a for 700 euros at the FS threads atm

Does this mean I should stop Desiring the 1Z if I already have the 1A?
