Thanks for the very promising first impressions man! Can't wait on trying this out myself. Hopefully soon...

Nope, same physical size, different weight...

Size
Approx. 72.9 x 124.2 x 19.9mm

Weight
Approx. 455g
Approx. 267g

Those are 2 different pics. The 1Z is simply closer to the camera than the 1A in the pic above.

Edit: here's a side by side comparison...

Another post had different dimensions for them which did surprise me.

Comparison between ZX2 and the new models

i have a feeling that SONY will make many wallets cry the next few months 

 
as much as i love my ZX2 , i am starting to get the love bug for the 1A
 
resistance is futile

Nice review headpie

I would love to hear if June hears it slightly warm or if it was just my hangover. By the way this is no review, just quick impressions.

The early impression on twitter also suggest a strong bass note presence, in a positive way for both models.

Hello Mimouille,
have you noticed some hiss with your iem ? But maybe it was in a too noisy environment...
Thanks for your help.

I haven't but it is not a good indication, because my SE5 Ultimate never hiss whatever the source...

I hear that the Z is warmer and punchier with excellent quality for jazz instrumentals and acoustic where the A is more neutral
