Sony NW-ZX300 vs Sony NW-WM1A

carnage0 — Fri, 23 Mar 2018 00:02:21 GMT

hey all

i was wondering if anybody had a list of differences between the NW-ZX300 and the NW-WM1A. apart from the storage (ZX having 64GB and WM1A 128GB) and screen, what justifies th £500 or more price difference between these two?

as far as i know, the ZX has LDAC bluetooth whilst the pricier WM1A does not.

any help would be appreciated

owen

Hi Carnage,

Welcome to the community.

You can use the 'compare' function on our page here to see the difference between these products. If you want to go into more depth you can also enter the model numbers here to see the manuals.

where did you get that info?

1A has LDAC of course, it even has aptX HD after update to match ZX300

1A is basically a compact version of ZX300. The main difference will be the sound because of the internal circuit and compact size. ZX300 sounds close to 1A though but 1A is still a short step ahead. It's more up to your own preference...if you only "looking for " sound then go for 1A

if you don't mind to compromise a bit the sound for portability then ZX300

the best, go to the store and try it out so you know what to do hehe

1A also belongs to the signature series so its also a collector product.

funnily enough i phoned sony eu support to ask the same question and went by what they said

i was not entirely satisfied with the conversation i had, so posted here

appreciate the reply, although i still struggle to see how the 1A is double the cost of the ZX300
