While both of Sony's Walkmans do support wireless headphones via Bluetooth (although these newest models don't support aptX HD), you'll really want to pair them with a high-end pair of wired headphones or IEMs to get the best listening experience.Īs for the differences between Sony's $3,700 ZM2 and the $1,400 AM2, it mainly comes down to two things: material and on-board storage.
One of the potentially coolest new features is what Sony calls its "Vinyl Processor," which when turned on is supposed to give tracks a "warmer" sound as if you were playing them on record player. They boost higher resolution touchscreens (now in full HD resolution) and improved battery life. Sony has given these new Walkmans quite a few other upgrades, too. Like before, Sony has integrated each Walkman with its DSEE Ultimate technology, which helps upscale non-lossless tracks so they sound closer to CD-quality. If you subscribe to a non-lossless service, such as Spotify, Pandora or YouTube Music, you'll be able to stream from those apps, too. This allows them to be more future-proof (Android updates are way more consistent), but more importantly, gives them access to all the latest lossless streaming services including Apple Music, Deezer, Amazon Music, Tidal and Qobuz. The biggest difference is that both the NW-WM1ZM2 and the NW-WM1AM2 now run on Android 11, rather than Sony's own operating system like before. The two new Walkman models are actually upgraded versions of models that were released in 2016. The Best DACs for Hi-Fi Listening on Apple Music
