Ah. Meaning the WF-1000XM3. I have those as well and they sound really good. They are about 90% as good at noise canceling as the WH-1000XM3.

Yep and yes my estimate was 80-90% of the full size XM3, I very rarely go over 50-60% volume on my iPhone with the WF even on planes

I keep mine around 45%. Seems like it gets plenty loud at that point at full noise cancel mode.

A55 is newer, and is water resistant. I would go for it instead of the A45.

Saved your info about changing region files to Word. It’ll help when I decide to get the next compatible player to the English region. Thanks a lot

Are you sure about this ?

They are both described like this in the spec sheet on the Sony web site

You’re right. I just checked and they’re both waterproof

I interpret it as neither are waterproof and there is no description of waterproofing in any web shop I've checked

I read several times about A55 being waterproof. If they both are, then only the "newer" thing remains.

I interpret the spec sheet as neither being waterproof. The word Waterproof is a section heading and inside that section is a - where there would normally be IPX something

Just let run as it needs 200 hours 4.4mm and 200 hours 3.5mm before it even sounds normal, then it will continue to continuously improve. It needs to have IEMs plugged in to burn-in.

It will also be noticeably better when you get to 100 hours. It’s been reported and I even noticed volume sputtering the first 20 hours. The capacitors will continue to stabilize. Cheers!

You haven’t even heard it yet.

I am nearing 150 and can definitely say there are qualities to the whole sound that 'settle down' and just sound better. To know that it gets even better is fantastic.

I had about 40 hours on my ZX300, and I plugged it into the electrical outlet with my iems attached to the balanced, turned it up to 50, and let it run for a week on a loop. After that, I had over 200 hours on it, and I didn't hear any difference. Not quite sure why, as I realize my experience was contrary to that of others.

I feel very big difference between music recorded into 24 bit vs 16bit, to a point that 16bit is not even appealing anymore.

The TA-ZH1ES sounds really intriguing from everything that I'm reading about it.
What cable is it that is used to plug the WM1A into the TA-ZH1ES?
also, my guess is the TA needs to be plugged straight into the wall, and not into an extension cord/surge protector, correct?
thanks.
