Evening all.

A quick question for anyone out there who may have the knowledge.

I currently have the ZX507 and am contemplating getting a WM1Z. Aside from the Android element, from a sound perspective and collectable point of view, is it worth it?

All and any views welcome.

Thank you.

Kenneth.

Sony have went all out on this one. The reviews seem to support that as well. So I think it should be top tier in terms of sound quality. And it definitely stands out in the Walkman catalogue. IMO it's very collectable.

WM1Z is an other league.... it will blow off 507

Many thanks. And you think the same for the WM1A?

Both are marketed as "Signature series" so it is also an amazing choice. Sony support provided this handy specifications comparison tool. I made a comparison between all 3 for you.

Hope it helps in your decision!

@Kenbob76

Of course 1A is superior but ZX507 is a good runner up (for price/sound quality/compact size) but battery is bad compare to 1A

Thanks very much. I have the 507 and struggling to justify the upgrade.
