  WM-1Z release is so late, I wonder if WM-1Z2 will be released next year

Could be at CES 2017!  I really hope that Sony doesn't get creative and released the Signature products for North American Market at CES.  That would be a total dumb move!

Not sure if thats the case. Sony had it available through Amazon. I dont know whats the status on those orders.
But you could be right but thats almost 3 months for CES and then maybe 5 months for its official release.

I truly don't understand "it's late" and "why is it taking so long to release?" comments. The 1A/Z were announced in September and (albeit not in every territory) are coming out in October. Compared to the way many companies work and even the way Sony used to, this is far from unacceptable. We don't need things on shelves  the next day after announcement.
 
You want slow to market? Check out the Nikon DL cameras.

No we are just spoiled by the internet which gives us information that previously we don't get. 
Also Schiit gears aren't nearly as complicated nor as big of a brand as the Walkmans here (hardly anyone is going to fish FCC compliance test data for Schiit vs a new piece of Sony gear, thus leading to the rumours and leaks), nor do they involve multi-territory branches all coordinating big marketing and launch events. The scale is simply different and not really worth comparing.

Absolutely. As I understand it, Sony has underestimated demand for these products. Being Signature, they can't simply shift manufacturing to China to deal with the volumes. Neither can they put you, the end customer on a queue like Schiit can. With Sony, t's the retailers and distributors who are put on a queue and none of them dare risk giving a delivery date until their stock has been shipped out by Sony.

Japan's E-earphone now has 4.4mm DIY plugs on listing.  
First batch for 29th release is already sold out though but they are taking pre-orders for second batch.

On the behalf of all of us, enjoy the lengthy break-in period.
