Hi guys, I have just pulled trigger on WM1z. I should receive this beauty in couple of days and will be AK convert I would like to ask a question about 4,4 TRRS. I own EA Lionheart 3,5 cable TRS cable is it possible to re-terminate it to 4,4 TRRS? I would not want to buy all new cables. Thx in advance for your help.

If you have 4 wires going into the 3.5 plug then you should be able to reterminate. If oly 3 wires you can’t

Not to be insulting, but you dog! I wish I were you right now LOL

Not at all m8 LOL. Sry for incomplete post, I am writing from iPad and it always comes to missing characters here and there. Anyhow my question about retermination stands.

Yes its is 4 wire Effect Audio cable. Two wires per side I suppose I will snap a picture.

I ordered mine from Amazon.de they offer slight discount per say. Pitty I cant order from Japan as anything outside EU would imply 21% VAT and 4% customs charge.

Man, that's nothing lol 21% + 4% … i purchased some comply foam tips from USA and upon arrival to mexico i got imposed a 65% import fee only because they mislabeled the tips as hearing-aid components

Not problem. I had my EA Leonidas reterminate into EA 4.4mm by them.

Did someone try to pair the WM1Z with the DT990 250 ohms (on balanced output), or another 250 ohms headphone ?
Is the Sony on balanced powerful enough to drive it properly ?
I mean not just acceptable, but really making the headphone shine (or sing) like it should be with a good pairing.

I tested the WM1A and Z in a sony store using DT-770pro 80 as well as DT-1350 against the MDR-Z1R and MDR-Z7. It seemed like in fact the WM1A/Z is intended for IEMS and low resistance phones. Actually I did not feel it could drive anything other than the DT-1350 adequately. I also ran these headphones out of the TA-ZH1ES which I felt like was an excellent pairing for the MDR-Z1R, but possibly too strong for my DT-770pro, although I do believe there maybe damage to the DT-770pros since they are quite old which is causing a distortion/blowout sound at certain frequencies through the TA-ZH1ES. The bottom line was the TA-ZH1ES was required to open up my DT-770 to a level I had never heard before, it was excellent.

But at the end of the day the Walkman lineup is mostly intended for IEMs and on the go use, amplification is recommended for larger headsets. Just my opinion.
