Sony Has Updated Firmware for the WM1Z and WM1A 3.02. Please update and let me know if think it has changed the SQ. They’ve added more features.

Read the last 5-10 pages of this thread. You could also do the update yourself to find out

I'm trying to get an idea of how the update impacts the 1Z /MDR-Z1R combos sound. Anyone with this combo do the update yet. Redcarmoose? Anyone?

It’s a big improvement being that the bass was curtailed in. Now the 1Z and MDR combo has a cool defined bass character. Though take note the combo (while maybe better) is not a joining I use that much as I use IEMs more.

So for me the move made the IER-Z1R better and MDR better but 3.02 is too thin and midcentric for my Encore IEMs. Really 3.01 had a more meaty lower midrange and sub-bass enhancement. I haven’t had time yet, but can only imagine the new tone will also be charming with the N3 and Z5 and additionally the Z7?

I already know how to update firmware but I need to charge my Sony WM1Z first. I was asking if anyone else did to report back and write their impressions. Thanks

Curiosity always kills the cat with me. Just updated, but will not listen till tonight. My guess is that it will be amazing, only because there is so much leeway in bass attenuation left to go with the IER. The 3.02....I feel was tailor-made for their flagship IEM. I did get a chance to hear the N3 and 1Z combo today and of course it was the best the N3 ever sounded. Just a clean and detailed “airy” experience. 3.02 really is a tidy-up for the N3. IMO

Much of the update may be the new-toy phenomenon. The basic fact is the update is much like getting a new DAP. If it goes with all IEMs/headphones and musical taste is yet to be discovered.

I downgraded to previous FW 3.01 thanks to @nc8000 dropbox . The thing of 3.02 is meant for 1Z, made the IER-Z1R on the wm1A a bit hot and sibilant

Interesting? 3.02 does have that slightly intense treble area. Haven’t heard it yet with the 1A......... but guessing I thought it would have been a lower midrange issue with the 1A? Surprised to hear it’s a treble issue?

Use your eq a bit people. If the treble is too high with your iems bring it down with the eq

EQ is great, but isn’t the point of high quality music is to not use Digital EQ as much as possible ? Digital EQ is using DSP algorithms to alternate the original processing from the firmware, the brand, the files. There is only 1 way to EQ with analog, and that is using analog EQ. Use analog EQ instead ? Lol
