Sorry if this question has been raised before, but I haven't got the immediate time to read for a solution. Has anyone been able to get their ZX1 to consistently send track data and information over Bluetooth like album/artist/title? I can't get it to do that with SYNC2.

the ZX1 Sony f886 sound like much, higher sound power ZX1 ..

Congrats, let's see if you like the switch from Old sony OS to android... I really liked my xperia "Music" app, than the old-school looks of the ZX100 walkman OS, beign the same as the X1000 OS (except non-touch)
 
I asumme both sound similar the ZX1 and the ZX100
 
I assume these devices (now discontinued) get their batteries replaced while they sit on the shelf beofre a customer buys one? I bought an iPod classic in 2011 (released in 2009 latest revision at the time) and the battery performed well, so i asumme yes sony and others restock and maintain their old stock so customers are happy with their purchase.

Can't see Sony or anyone else opening up or replacing their stock to refresh potential battery life. Batteries are not usually guaranteed anyway although they could conceivably be changed as a goodwill gesture if unit is under warranty and under performing. The latest Lithium Ion batteries would I think have a good enough shelf life to last being in store for a few months and then the duration of the warranty.
 
Now of course it's less likely than ever; Sony have the ZX-100 to concentrate on - this new kid on the block appears to have usurped the ZX-1, as it appears to have been removed from the UK Sony site...

On the battery note - any one had their batteries changed yet? My battery is discharging very quickly.

Not sure whether this has been posted here yet. I found this interesting article by the walkman blog interviewing the design team of ZX1. Thought it might be of interest here.

Great article!

Regarding the brass headphone jack - "The 3.5 mm stereo mini plug is a standard that was developed by Sony for the first generation Walkman®. It has now become the global standard. Knowing this background, I thought it would be meaningful to make this component an iconic focal point of history’s finest Walkman®."

this player is good, but unfortunately the problem with extra volume!

Yes, the same for me and often overnight without being used at all, I get to very low levels from a full charge!
 
Can the battery be replaced?

Apparently the battery can be replaced, but I'm not going to try to change mine.  I contacted a local electronics store that specializes in Apple iPod and iPhone repair, and they told me they have done replacements on Sony's.  You might try that, if like me, you don't have any local Sony authorized repair locations.
