✅SONY NW ZX300 REVIEW

[@markreif1]

Received this a few days ago - no looking back no regrets - a real gem of a player

[@lorenzolyleabadia1669]

I lost my Sony NW-A55 yesterday and I've been looking to buy a new one from Sony and this review really helped me on my decision. It was either this or the NW-A55 again. What won me, is that this one had a better drive due to the Balanced Output option.

[@theprince08853]

Hey, do you think the A55 sounds quite similar to the ZX300? Don't know if I should get it or not.

[@fajarkurniawan9434]

@@theprince08853 i have A55 and just bought ZX300. I use balanced XBA-N3 for the zx300 I kind of dissapointed because for me A55 sounds better. But then I read the setting of zx300 that to get the full potential of this player, you have to keep it played for at least 200hours. They say to burn in the capacitors or something. When I said A55 sounds better, I mean it has better bass. But maybe since I am a basshead and using mdr XB75 which has 12mm driver for my A55, compared to 9mm driver of XBA-N3. But if you prefer balanced output, maybe zx300 will suit you just fine. We all have different prefferences after all So yes there's that. I just gonna wait until my zx300 reach its 200hrs milestone. To hear if it will get better. I am still at 70hrs playback time

[@theprince08853]

@@fajarkurniawan9434 Hi there. I actually acquired a ZX300 in this time and I WM1A (which I've returned). For me the A55 with the walkman mod sounded better than the ZX300 with the walkman mod. I found the ZX300 too clinical/accurate COMPARED to the A55 which as a more "fun" sound and adheres more to the Sony "house sound". I'm using balanced output on the ZX300 with a pair of HiFiMan Sundara's (or Starfields). I also got a WM1A from Japan but apart from better soundstage and separation there wasn't much different so I decided to just return it.

[@christopherrogers9243]

If anyone is interested the Lexar 633x SDXC 512GB card works with the Sony ZX300 and gives an actual 495GB of storage, the card also works in the Nintendo Switch and offers best bang for buck in my opinion.

[@CT37BN]

You just made me realize I really like Sony without even knowing about it. Bloody hell. I was just counting the Sony gear that I own and couldn't believe I have a number that I value and have been using for so long now that I never took notice of.

Actual review at 10:00 don't waste your time

[@rere439]

Thank you

[@willtothewong]

Man, this or the Hiby R3/R6 would be a tough choice! Great review as always. Keep it up man.

[@Rade71]

Love your "in your face, no holds barred" approach to reviews. Probably gonna opt for this instead of my original choice, the HiBy R6. Subscribed!

[@BadGuyGoodAudioReviews]

Thanks and thanks :)

[@tadevokle]

Would this be still worth it in late 2020? I don't like the lack of the usb-c output, but not sure whether that's a big deal.

[@Goodgrove]

i had both the ZX100 AND ZX300..if you have not got enough funds get the ZX100 it is very close from the 3.5mm socket in fact the ZX100 sounds better.. better bass definition and more impactful...where the ZX300 wins is the balanced socket it sounds bloody good!! great dynamics and it has that signature sony warm sound

[@sanahe2000]

23:00 HIS REAL!!! HIS GENUINE!!! HE KILLED IT!!! awesome review thanks

[@Dr23rippa]

2:06 lol Your right I remember Sonic Stage! It was good software the idea that you could compress mp3 or wma to small sizes and still retain the high quality.

[@robr1533]

The videos keep coming and the comments keep rolling because you are you. Honest no bullshit, tell it how it is. People like that i do. I bet i know the next bad device ....

[@BadGuyGoodAudioReviews]

Maybe you do ;)

[@matttubtim3098]

What do you think about the new 2.00 firmware? Specifically, I'm talking about the "Vinyl Processor" setting.

[@azmadu]

Really glad to see this review as I only added this Walkman to my Amazon basket two days ago. What's even better is that you've got the same Ex-1000 that I've been using for the past number of years and I love them. However, mine on my left channel, have stopped working and I'm not sure if it's my cable that's broken or the actual earphone. I've sent a message to PETEREK so we'll see what he can do. In the meantime I have been looking at the FiiO F9 Pro (watched your review on those as well) and depending on how expensive it is to resolve my Ex-1000 conundrum I've been investigating either those or the RHA T20s, but not cure yet. If you've done a comparison with the F9s and the T20s that would be interesting to know how they compare to the 1000s.

[@harveytrevino2257]

I don't blame you, I love Sony, also had the same fall out you did. But I may have to give them a shot again! Thanks for the video!

[@AllySandrana]

I really like your review and you really nailed it everything. I have Sony NW-A35 it's the lower end, and I really liked it. Even the low end sounds really good!!. And I'm convinced will getting this... maybe I'll buy it around march. I'll go balance so I also need new cable. Thank you for your video and keep doing your style like this.

[@BadGuyGoodAudioReviews]

Thanks for the comment! I will keep my style :)

[@matt-f1c]

Great video and I must admit your hitting a few home truths and the reason why I also left Sony years ago ... lol brilliantly truthful and entertaining and great knowledge . Lol the tangents and no holds barred language so refreshing ..

[@madjoker2167]

I was looking to get something to have on the go, besides my Sony XZ premium smartphone which work so so with Spotify. And I think this walkman would do the job with my OPPO PM-3 Planar Magnetic Headphones and listen to my Flac's. Do you know what's the maximum SD card I can fit inside?? Thank you

[@chriswhite4232]

@ Bad Guy Good Audio I love your channel and the tangents you go on. Keep it up. Since this has been around awhile now how does it compare with the newer daps in the same price range?

[@rogerquenault7207]

Don't ever do a script, your videos are great as they are.

[@PaulGraham1977]

Brad makes AWESOME cables! I know, I have one myself lol. Nice to hear him get a shout out. Cool vid. Subbed ;)

[@Kyubi888Naruto]

Subscribed for your "raw" presentation alone. Was looking into NW-A45, but now I'm going to look into this and try to become familiar with this audio stuff.

[@BadGuyGoodAudioReviews]

Thanks for the comment. A45 is good but not much power compared to this and this is totally built for durable portable use even more than the a45.

[@bshah4831]

Balanced on the ZX300 is way better than standard.

[@zaizenz7262]

is there any LAG if use as DAC for PC with usb connected ( not wireless ) ???

[@frankiepavinato]

First of all let me tell you how much i LOVE your reviews, including (and especially) the swearing. These are the REAL reviews, without scripting yourself.. Please don't get mad if you have already answered this: in the video i see you with the NW Wm1... i'm very , VERY puzzled wether to buy the first or the latter...do they really sound so similar??? I have to chance to take home with me a brand new ZX300 for just 380 bucks compared to the 1.1K of the Wm1... price aside is the ZX300 the real deal here?

[@swapnilmule3922]

In this video i feel your voice is so good than ur other videos... relaxing..

[@id104335409]

Hahaha, "blow off man, this is my channel" Instant like from me! This tells me you are legit!

[@alexandersokolov5639]

Hi. What a great review! I have one question. Could you compare zx300 and a55? Does price difference make sense? Also, which one of them is louder? Thank you in advance

May I know what adapter cable you used in this video? Is it Musashino (that's what I heard, just unsure the spelling)? Thanks!

[@christopherespinosa7319]

Most informative channel bro... your knowledge and communication thru your videos are very well explained. I love all the details and information and history to Sony Walkman. Keep doing your thing and if some people don't like then they shouldn't watch.. its not your problem. Hell i think you give fair and honest opinions and information all in one video... I will probably get this Sony walkman now because of this awesome review.. thanks a lot brother.. keep up the good work

[@koylrust6482]

How's this sound compared to dx160, m11 or n3 pro ?

[@yuukitenpouin523]

I'm using the sony wi 1000xm2 with comes with a 3,5 cable. Should I use it with some entry model like the a45, a55 or should I upgrade to the nw z300 for the best experience?

[@waynerm002]

Been watching your reviews on DAPs and I was considering this unit until delving into your videos. I like the look Shanling M3s, would you recommend this over it? I know this cost a bit more but based on your experience with the sound of both and features, which would you suggest?

[@BadGuyGoodAudioReviews]

Never tried a Shanling.

[@waynerm002]

My bad, must have been watching Z.

[@joebaker8536]

Excellent as always.Good when you do your Billy Connolly.Go off the subject and back on to it again.Your certainly not boring.

[@BadGuyGoodAudioReviews]

Thank you...boring...no, buncha bad stuff yes but boring is a definite no :)

[@pengasus]

LoL@ Ninja instructor. Those are the hands of someone who has NEVER thrown a single punch at anything ever

[@phillipbrenton181]

Can you send a working link for the latest sony 4.4mm balanced cable. I currently have 2.5mm balanced/3.5mm to mmcx for iem.

[@knocknockify]

You’re a very well-spoken reviewer! Subscribed :)

[@rywonday]

Loved it. Keep it up. I can’t necessarily afford it but it’s gorgeous. What I’d love to know is how close the NW-A45 sounds to the Z300. I don’t suppose you have one of those? Thanks for the videos as always.

[@BadGuyGoodAudioReviews]

They are not that different actually. Sony went for a particular sound and only the WM1Z is voiced different on purpose These all have the S Master HX and have a certain clarity because of that and a shared Sony house sound. Power output is the diff but if you use easy to drive gear like IEM you should be good. Sony finally made some good DAP's

[@rywonday]

Nice! I think I'll grab one then as it'll be used with IEM's almost exclusively, so that 35mw should be plenty. Thanks bro

[@Kova4a]

To your memory how the calyx m stacks to the sony coz I heard the zx300 but now wonder how the calyx m sounds in comparison.

[@BadGuyGoodAudioReviews]

Sonics it is awesome. Maybe the best IMO. But no balanced, slow U.I. I will eventually get it again though. If you want just the best music quality and can accept the limitations...Calyx M.

[@mindflayer]

Great video. Just thinking about getting a DAP - have you tried the Sony NW-A45?

[@BadGuyGoodAudioReviews]

I have. Good budget player. Little bit under powered but with most IEM that is not much of a problem. Good U.I and everything works as promoted by company

[@mindflayer]

Bad Guy Good Audio Reviews Thanks! I’m just getting into audio - picked up iSine 20s (Cipher cable on the way), AKG7xx, and have the Audeze Mobius on the way; have some Shure E2Cs from long ago (my Etymotics got destroyed). I’ll use the iSine20 with the iPhone X... but a DAP might be nice. Agreed with re to Sony. I had Walkmans until they shifted to the old Sony Way. I looked at their Palm OS device back then and that rootkit was some bullshit, as was the ATRAC need. I believe in cry once or cry many times when it comes to spending on good gear, but not sure I’d hear the difference.

[@BadGuyGoodAudioReviews]

The Q1mkII is very slim and had a lightning cable think and pairs really good with isine20. Really good and has a hardware bass switch to put some thump in those when needed

[@mindflayer]

Bad Guy Good Audio Reviews Found an NW-ZX300 on sale, so went this route. Of course as soon as seal that deal, I find the WM1A for just a bit more!

[@Lotus-hz6el]

@@BadGuyGoodAudioReviews how different is the sound quality between a45/55 and zx300?

[@Ivan-bg1jp]

Would this be good with HiFIMAN Sundara? or should I just stick with my iFi Micro BL..

[@glenzilinski295]

Wonder if you could check out the Sony NW-A55 walkman? I'd like to know how it compares to this one?

[@evshrug]

Glen zee NW-A55 is probably similar in tone to the ZX300, but less power (intended for easy to drive portables like IEMs or PortaPros), buttons more like the ZX300 than the old NW-A45, scrolling more responsive than NW-A45. All of them have great battery life, Bluetooth, UI.

[@addicz2]

A55 has more treble than ZX300

[@BVC_AAriharavijay]

Same doubt but A50 which one should I buy ? Any advice

[@addicz2]

A55 vs Zx300 via SE 3.5 A55 wayy better than zx300 in any way. Even with high gain cant keep up with A55. But if you want balanced 4.4. ZX300 kick A55 ass in any way.

[@BVC_AAriharavijay]

@@addicz2 bro I am not a music freak and stuff I will be using the walkman only while in the gym or else Jogging as far as I know these two only support Bluetooth and are available in Australia so which one should I buy

[@CalogeroPrincipato]

Hi, what about the sound quality (only in balanced mode) between the Sony ZX300 and Aune M1S? I'm going to make a decision and buy the best for the sound quality. Thanks!

[@BadGuyGoodAudioReviews]

Sony. Best balanced devices I have used are the PHA-3 and the zx300 and wm1a. They do it in a way that seems to work beyond the others. I thought the M1S was great though. Build not so great on that. I'd pick the zx300

[@kabuzu]

How would you compare this with the new ak70 mkii?

[@BadGuyGoodAudioReviews]

I have not really tried that for more than a few minutes

[@yuriynazarov9383]

Bad Guy Good Audio Reviews i would be also very greatfull to know how dose this thing compare to AK 70ii. Thank you very much for a good review!

[@cliffb5416]

Love your honest reviews .... and language!

[@touchingpeopleonthetrain1779]

I am so tired of these type of content being the same contrived shit. Over and over. Love the way this is presented. Like how I remember KZbin when it first started..... minus the toxic comment section of course.

[@RafaelTheMusician]

Does this support spotify? I saw some post regarding this and they actually using streaming apps. Btw, great review.

[@anubis1800]

No replacement for good sound and function. If it works it works... I guess. Great review.

[@jhad0205]

do i have to get for example balance cable 4.4mm to balance cable 3.5mm or to stereo 3.5mm?

[@virginislandsguy1885]

You still getting comments bro! Love the review...will more likely than not purchase this Walkman!

[@mrfrosty3]

Oh yes ATRAC, I didn't really understand how it all worked so just kept merrily stuffing way too much music onto a single cd. Took it on vacation and couldn't figure out why everything sounded so bad.

[@20DDan]

Amazing video! Don't mind the language at all. Don't script it. I appreciate the historical background as well! On my list now of next purchases.

[@rsg5850]

the musashino is balanced 4.4mm to female 3.3mm unbalanced. will it be able to deliver 200 mWatt power t 4.4mm bal to 3.5mm unbal? am really upset that i can't find bal 4.4mm to bal 3.5mm for my hd650 apparently sennheiser HD660s comes along with 4.4mm pentaconn lead. Hopefully i will get my hands on that original pentaconn lead from sennheiser.

[@BadGuyGoodAudioReviews]

Without testing I couldn't say for sure. I would think that output port is controlled by the amp stage and not the connect but I don't know?

[@florisgit995]

Hello , Fiio X7 II or Sony ZX300!? I have a pair oh FH1 , for moment . I think to upgrade to FH5.

[@SpykeZ0129]

FiiO makes great amps and dacs but their DAPs are really hit or miss. Sony's been in the mobile music industry since the beginning, they know what they're doing.

[@evshrug]

This channel did a FiiO X7 mk II review when that came out, he really liked the sound and features

[@my_jet_is_wet9898]

What would be the best dap for my dt 770 pro 250

[@BadGuyGoodAudioReviews]

something with a switchable amp like x7 mkII or DX200 so power will not be an issue and they have amps with multiple input types.

[@valentinla1305]

Should I get this or the cheaper NW-A55? I also have the balanced MDR-1Am2.

[@corrupted5831]

I have heard it has some noise issues with higher sensitivity earplugs, is that true, would it make any sense to pair it with some campfire audio? Also what is the power output?

[@addicz2]

I though it was ZX2 that have hiss issue

[@rickg8015]

I had Sony in the past.. I may go that route again with their new offerings. Thanks for the review.. For now I have IFi-audio’s Nano iDSD Black Label bricked to a phone, or an iPod 6th gen, or us with a laptop. Been using it for or over a month now. I have no problem with the sound, sounds great, but with some recordings there is some early clipping, I can’t go too loud (with less efficient planar magnetic over-ears).. I’m curious about its S-Balanced Circuit (3.5mm TRRS), if it can make a difference.. I could have custom cables made for my cans for about $150 but that’s no assurance. Not sure if it will work with a 3.5mm female to 1/4” TRS adapter plug too.. Or I could just upgrade to a more powerful amp/dac like the iDSD Micro Black Label, or a Sony Walkman DAP.. Sorry for the rambling. Thanks.. You’re the Bill Burr of head-fi reviews man!

[@drabgothita2884]

I own the a-35 model. Is there a huge shift in sound form this model to the NW ZX300? Also use a pha1a, does this model have self-amplification or will I need an external headphone amplifier to make it sound as good as the pha1a

[@mocherlaphanindra8828]

Hi, i am planning to buy a DAP. I am looking at X7mk2, AK70MK2 and Sony ZX300. Can you tell me which one you prefer among this three?

[@ObligedTester]

Just curious, the propriety cable to connect a Bravia TV to a DVD player you mention, any more info on that? Never seen that one!

[@StevenBudijanto]

I got a Wolfson-chip iPod Touch and love the sound more than any dap that came in front of me. Does the Sony sound as fun as the Wolfson things? Cz thanks to you, now I'm interested in Sony. Anw, great review. Very convincing one 👍

[@eatmoreporkporky4342]

I really like the spacing between instruments on the Sony, the 3d stage is really good. Also the tone is spot on natural, and the attack and decay is just outstanding (Timing). No love for the red headed stepchild N5ii ;)

[@alfredtolentino8614]

Looking to buy this and use it in my main system ( McIntosh & Martin Logan). I want to digitize my existing cd collection to DSD as well as buy DSDs online. I think I can just output through the 3.5mm jack into an analog RCA input on my Mcintosh preamp. This seems to be the cheapest and cleanest way without using a computer and an external DSD Dac. In theory it seems to work. What do you think?

[@BadGuyGoodAudioReviews]

That should work though I have never tried it. This person is doing something similar www.head-fi.org/threads/the-official-sony-ta-zh1es-hi-res-headphone-amplifier-live-from-ifa-2016.818848/page-10

[@krk24]

I have WH-1000XM2; since it comes with a 3.5mm audio cable, supports Hi-Res, aptx codecs; it should be paired significantly to this sony walkman Hi-Res devices right? what is the best model to enjoy? with DSD for sure

[@BadGuyGoodAudioReviews]

10000XM2 should pair excellent with this zx300 using LDAC sony's own bluetooth standard

[@krk24]

Bad Guy Good Audio Reviews thanks man really appreciated. I have subscribed your channel and keep doing your thing! cheers!

[@BadGuyGoodAudioReviews]

Thanks! And thanks for the sub!

[@magicdragon1826]

I want to get that same exact set up was already planning on getting the Sony WH1000XM2's now I have to get this Walkman. For now I just have a galaxy s7 and Sennheiser PXC 550's for music

[@krk24]

Magic Dragon indeed since sony wh-1000xm2 has bunch of hi-tech features which will be best utilised with their walkman players...

[@harrybaque5502]

Imagine if you will... Apple pulls their head... decides to release a “new classic” iPod that is music focused, “audiophile” grade sound with USB-C charging, balanced and single ended output, app support for Tidal/Qobuz/Spotify (et al) offline support... it really would be the twilight zone

[@Jake-fm9qk]

@Lou Dupa That would be so cool 😨😱 I bet they would sell like hotcakes. Don’t forget Apple Music and Spotify support 😃 also having 3 models 256gb,512gb and hell even 1tb (for audiophiles)

[@OFF-WORLD9732]

How is this compared to the AK70 MKII in terms of audio, UI and storage?

[@BadGuyGoodAudioReviews]

Audio, both are good, I am a Sony fanboy. U.I is really nice on Sony now but AK has a good U.I too. Storage is 1 slot plus 64 gig internal on Sony. Cannot recall what the Ak is. I would take the Sony (Cuz I am a fanboy)

[@OFF-WORLD9732]

Thanks for the replay, I'm in doubt for this or the AK70 MKII, the AK has 64gb internal and a 400gb micro sd slot. I really care about the speed of the UI when the music library is big.

[@BadGuyGoodAudioReviews]

I am stuffed with DSD files. About 100 gigs of big hard to process files and have no issue but no 400gig cards so how that works on any device is not my specialty :)

[@Lionspel]

Oh and another thing is if it can be used as a dac for pc like the nw-a45, thanks.

[@ApipatWuttiwaranonIHereBozs]

I buy fiio x5 iii because your clip. Should I upgrade to zx300 too ?

[@slsfdj]

I made the move from X5III to ZX300, after having both DAPs side by side. If you ONLY care about SQ, then go Sony. ZX300 has a much longer battery life and is more portable, 4.4mm balanced, no f***ing Android. You need Tidal? Wi-Fi? Go FiiO. X5III is great, sounds good, but ZX300 sounds better, cleaner. It is a bit pricier, tough.

[@sharmatechtalk]

Brother Can you please compare Fiio Mark 2 vs Sony Walkman Which sounds better Please conform brother 😓

[@BoneyHead959]

Came here to see stuff I'm intereted in (mostly Sony). Stayed for the cool facts. Man I thought I knew everything about the history of the Walkman but I didn't know about the lack of MP3 support and the rootkits. Well I knew the CD's of Celine Dion had the rootkits in them but holy shit.

[@standarddiamond]

Does this connect to the net to stream radio and Spotify, for example? And can it connect to a WiFi hotspot?

do you still have one that youd like to sell?

Would the fiio a5 be a good buy for this Walkman ?

[@justindore684]

Hey man, you ever hear of DSEE HX technology by Sony? Apparently supposed to upscale compressed files to near Hi-Res quality. What do you think?

It’s just marketing gimmick.

i just stumbled upon one and damn its so fuckin sublime. definitely getting one after your video. THANK YOU...... and subscribed and liked

[@andycoyne4343]

Quick question. If I use a 4.4mm adaptor to 3.5 mm, and use the balance output line. Will I still get the benefit of using that balanced output. Meaning will I get better output and better Fidelity? Thanks!

[@BadGuyGoodAudioReviews]

I do not know. I have read it is not so but if the wiring lines up it should put out same power? i cannot say 4 sure though

[@FaroEC]

Great videos hawaiinbadboy, can you tell me your opinion on the fender fxa7? I always wanted to get the ASG 2.5 . I currently own the Sony 7550(actually thinking of buying second pair just in case), Sony xb90ex, Future Sonics g10, the bass is great on all of them but I would like to give my ears a rest from all the bass . I'm looking for something that has good bass and that are not harsh in the mid, high but something that is clear, a lush sound? I looking for a hybrid iem, thanks.

[@BadGuyGoodAudioReviews]

I thought the mids on that set were a tad back. The FLC8 are great and for more cash the NCM Bella is excellent. The sony Z5 is great until you go basshead. Regular listen levels are smooth with holographic like presentation

[@FaroEC]

I wished I lived in Japan, looks like headphone heaven. Since you live in japan have you tried jvc woods? I been eyeing Z5 and also A3/H3

[@BadGuyGoodAudioReviews]

A3 is great! The JVC1100 is really awesome

[@FaroEC]

Thanks...which iem are better one that has a single DD and single BA or one that has single DD and double BA?

[@BadGuyGoodAudioReviews]

Well I like the FiiO FH1 better than F9 pro so in that case 1+1 but the sony hybrid's 1+2 are pretty good. A3 is pretty awesoe unless amped too much then bass bloats

[@lucasbrea212]

Nice work, how do you compare it against hiby r6 in terms of sound quality?

[@BadGuyGoodAudioReviews]

Both a tad warm but almost neutral. No real notable diff.

[@mogroot5790]

Bad Guy Good Audio Reviews What headphones can I use with this?

[@BadGuyGoodAudioReviews]

anything up to 300 ohm if you go balanced. Or the latest wireless top of the line sony pairs awesome with this and has noise canceling too

[@mogroot5790]

Bad Guy Good Audio Reviews I'm new on this, what do you mean if you go balanced?

[@BadGuyGoodAudioReviews]

balanced is the 4.4 output on top. It has more power output, more than double I think

[@himanshumalik2012]

Is sony wi1000x is a compatible with walkman zx500?

[@garycard1]

I agree with your comments as brought one of these last month and it sounds fantastic.. would you recommend a set of mdr z7s with nwzx300 as have heard mixed reviews about these headphones?

[@BadGuyGoodAudioReviews]

No. I actually think the Z7 was one of Sony's misses. I had PETEREK's custom set (just connects were altered) and was not a fan of the sound.

[@chrisrose3967]

Yes. I own them and they sound fantastic with Sony's nw-a35 and nwz-a15

Hi, I would like to ask about the album art if it supports multiple art tagging? Like I have one album but I tagged the songs under it with different arts, will it show them? For example I have a Kelly Clarkson's album Breakaway and I tagged a different album art for the songs Behind These Hazel Eyes and Breakaway, will the zx300 is able read it?

The etsy link under the vid has a customizer that makes the 4.4 now. I am getting mine soon. I am not sure where to get the Musashino besides e-earphone?

[@korresapivita]

nw-a45 or zx300? it's worth paying a lot more for zx300?

[@howequalspeace]

there is a vast gulf between the A35/45 and Sony's higher priced DAPs

[@gogeleo]

Zx300 is more powerful and balanced option if you want to go balanced, better dac too than the a45

I can only find the black in the Japanese version. How easy is it to change the language settings? Can you do it via the device or does it have to be by computer?

[@BadGuyGoodAudioReviews]

I had to google how to set to English but it worked easy

How does one download music into this in 2018? (I know it might sound like a down question but I honestly don't know)

[@mihir1997]

bad guy can you please please please check out the A55? Also what do you think of comparing this to the A&K AK70 (the first gen is priced the same in my country not sure if that's true elsewhere)

[@adhyrizkya6138]

Where can I buy music to play in this device?? And what headphones would you recommend to use with it ?Cool information

[@joseanmx1]

iTunes works well; CD's are best

[@nelson9646]

Yo, which one you will personally recommend to get? Sony ZX300 or a FiiO X7 mark II I use IE800s and I listen to​ music on Spotify and some of FLAC, DSD I bought online.

[@BadGuyGoodAudioReviews]

ZX300 if you can use a 4.4 cable. If no 4.4 then the FiiO

[@nelson9646]

Bad Guy Good Audio Reviews I DM you from FB

[@nelson9646]

Bad Guy Good Audio Reviews I also have a fiiO Q5. Should I just get a iPhone SE or iPhone TOUCH !? And yes IE 800s has 2.5 4.4balance. But Both FiiO Q5 X7 markII support 4.4 and 2.5. So still a Sony !?

[@magicdragon1826]

Buying one of these and the Sony WH1000XM2 Bluetooth headphones

[@chengyuan7658]

What is the name of the adapter you are using? I mean the bulk one in the middle which helps you to connect to any kind of cable like 2.5 or 4.4. I just don't know how to google it.

[@BadGuyGoodAudioReviews]

google "mini xlr"

[@chengyuan7658]
