So does anyone have issues pairing their ZX100 via BT? It takes at least 3-5 minutes every time I try to pair it to my car stereo. Never had an issue pairing any other devices to this stereo.

  I'm not planning to buy a new version of the Sony, I'll wait.


and don't buy something that you haven't even tried/audition specially if they are charging you a cost of a leg

Just bought a ZX100 having recently sold my AK320 and having previously had ZX1 and ZX2.
 
So far I'm loving it! It's great to be able to turn it on in less than a second and not worry about battery life. The sound quality with my se846s is fantastic and even though it's an EU model I'm only listening at around 12 on the scale
 
The UI is fast and the size is perfect, I also picked up an iGadgitz skin from Amazon for about £4.00. It fits perfectly and comes with a screen protector. In comparison, I think an AK320 case is about £100.00. It does smell nicer though!

I also used to own a ZX2, but hated the Android UI and the limited battery life. I sold the ZX2 and decided to keep the ZX100. IMO the ZX100 sounds every bit as good as the ZX2. Although the Sony UI may come accross as basic to some, it works perfectly and, as you say, it's on in seconds rather than having to wait for Android to boot-up.

guys who owned both zx2 and zx100 , does zx100 has the trrs balanced possibility like zx2 had or is it SE only?
 
also how does zx100 sound compared to the zx2 ? i need opinions from zx2 users who had burned it in for 300 hours at least

The ZX100 does not support trrs plugs, unlike the ZX2.
And IMO the ZX100 sounds every bit as good as a burnt-in ZX2.

ZX100 sounds as good as ZX2? Neh....it will probably sound as good as the WM1Z.
 
BTW, many A17 users have commented that their A17 sounds as good as ZX2 as well.
 
Thus, based on feedbacks/comments, it is more logical to buy a A17, and save the money to upgrade your IEM or headphones.

zx100 better and louder than zx2 and better than the A17.

If you listen close to an A17, without distractions you can hear highs getting easily distorted and warbly, swirlies metallic sound like mp3 compression (this is using FLAC and a real FLAC ripped from CD)

Close but not quite.  The ZX2 is more organic as well as more spacious sounding.  The ZX100 is the best deal going in the Sony line up unless the A35 betters it.

I really doubt it is also as hyperdetailed as ZX2+trrs,although you could disable sound adjustment for improvement i guess.Does ZX100 need serious burn in like ZX2?Trusted review doesn't paint a good picture http://www.trustedreviews.com/sony-nw-zx100-review unfortunately.
