I travel a lot and the fewer bits I have to travel with the better. This upgraded battery will last me 2-3 weeks between charges
My zx100 battery lasted me a week between charges for ca. 8hrs daily

My Walkmans up until the ZX100 all lasted the maximum quoted battery time for the 2-3 years I had them. It wasn't until the ZX300 that I experienced shorter standby and play time.

So there is no battery mod to extend the 1A battery?

Replacing the battery with one of more capacity is the battery mod.
Ah I was referred to sites for that. But how reliable that is, I'm not sure.

As my experience , the replacement battery with more capacity help your player to improve bass reponse. If anyone want to increase quality of bass, you consider this replacement.

That's really a good reason to upgrade. Beefier battery means the supplied voltage will sustain much longer before dropping.

Guys, I really think that the next flagship from Sony will be exceptionally class leading, this is coming from what I am hearing from the new firmware on the ZX507 Hi-res streaming mode + DSEE HX AI.

It will be extremely likely that this new zx507 sound processing technology will be incorporated into the next flagship walkman

For those who don't own the ZX507, think of it as Sony's audiophile take on Dolby Atmos Cinema technology that works for stereo audio files.

Sony is able to expand stereo music into a 7.1.4 surround like sound experience for your headphones.

The future is going to be exciting for us Sony fans. Say goodbye to copycat "HiFi" companies because you may be able to copy Sony's volume control interface design but you will never be able to copy this level of sophisticated audio processing technology.

And you listening on m9 or the 1AM2?

I have tried on both. Split my listening time into half with each gear.


when you enable Hi-res Streaming On with DSEE HX. That’s when DSEE HX seems to make some music elements envelop behind your ears. It’s like as if there is a spherical sound field that Sony has programmed in. This surround effect seems be variable depending on source material. It’s as if there’s some kind of system at work that determines which element goes to the front and which element goes to the back of the sound field.

I think these is only the beginning of a new audio system, future firmware should bring about more sonic improvements to this surround mode.

I didn’t expect Sony to have silently added this mode to ZX507 without even mentioning anything about it.
