hi,

I just bought this walkman nwa55 , but there is a real funny thing about it,

all audio track tunes like surround , clear sound plus , etc , seems to work only on wired headphones, but any kind of Bluetooth headphones or even car , tried many good ones sony , Samsung, jbl , in all of them the audio settings of the tracks being played do not change anything..

do they apply only to wired headset? thnx

Under Bluetooth, check Check Audio Device Connection settings.
You might try resetting the NWA-55 (device settings).

Yup - effects only work when using wired headphones.

thats really sad, is that the case with all brands of this class of mp3 players? I mean its not very cheap and if I knew this I would have bought any Chinese cheap mp3 which will do exactly the same

so is it confirmed that those settings only work via wired headphones?

any one succeeded in getting that to work via Bluetooth? because its funny that even volume up or down from walkman doesn't change the volume !!

Contact Sony's customer support (tech support?) see if they can offer any help.

Yes, it 100% only works via wired.

Not sure about mentality, I think they intended to let audio effects through BT, as you don't get a message that they don't work.

Not all players may do this, but I don't know too many players with audio effects.

thanks alot, so it will be a trail and error, or just stick to annoying mobile phone experience..

So they may have intended to allow effects via BT, but they didn't do it, so they don't work.

Still, I think that BT audio from these players sounds better than from a smartphone, so give it a try for a few days.
