The Sony Walkman NW-WM1AM2 and NW-WM1ZM2 models\u00a0will\u00a0replace the NW-WM1A and NW-WMZ players\u00a0released\u00a0in 2016.\u00a0New items with the M2 index run on Android 11, they received 5-inch displays (compared to 4-inch predecessors), and the battery life of FLAC files has increased from 30 to 40 hours.<\/p>\n

Sony Walkman family expanded with NW-WM1AM2 and NW-WM1ZM2 players<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Both players are equipped with on-board Wi-Fi modules that complement cable connection via USB-C version 3.2 – now the players have access to streaming.\u00a0Also in the novelties are used updated power supplies with audiophile capacitors.\u00a0Sony specialists promised “a richer, smoother and wider sound field compared to its predecessors.”<\/p>\n

As for the differences, the older model, ZM2, received twice as much internal memory – 256 versus 128 GB.\u00a0The signal from the amplifier to the balanced headphone jack on the ZM2 is a premium cable from Kimber Kable, while on the AM2 it’s just a “low impedance oxygen-free copper cable”.<\/p>\n

However, the main difference can be seen at a glance: it is the gold-plated ZM2 case, made of oxygen-free copper (OFC) with a purity of 99.99% (4N).\u00a0The AM2 uses a humble aluminum alloy.\u00a0According to Sony, the ZM2 cabinet “realizes a stronger digital foundation and higher rigidity, delivering clear and wide sound.”<\/p>\n

Both players will be available from April 2022.\u00a0So far, only the Australian cost of new products is known: Sony Walkman NW-WM1AM2 will cost 1,900, and NW-WM1ZM2 – 5,000 Australian dollars<\/p>\n
