My two favorite types of music to listen to the WM1AM2 are classical (for the expansiveness of the sound and smoother treble) and rock (for the bass response and great dynamics). There's a nice amount of headroom, with the sound feeling both wide and deep.

The bass is full and well-rounded but well-controlled. There's a sense of energy, liveliness, and openness to the sound. Does the WM1ZM2 have the level of resolution as the high-end NW-WM1ZM2? No, but it definitely meets it more than halfway.ĭespite its warmth and richness, the WM1AM2 is not laid back or lush-sounding, nor is the bass bloated or overwhelming. But it's not the type of warm that comes at the expense of other things that make music enjoyable: detail, clarity, air. I've always gravitated toward a warm-leaning sound signature, and Sony definitely does warm.

Sony knows how to make my ears happy, that's for sure. I tested the NW-WM1AM2 with the Empire Ears Hero IEMs and the Meze 109 Pro headphones. It's a rounded design, with no sharp edges. It's about the width of my iPhone 10, though just a little bit taller and deeper. The WM1AM2 is nominally bigger and heavier than the first generation. But I can absolutely recognize that it's easier than the first-generation WM1Z. I never used the original WM1A, but I understand this was a welcome change. Sony put the power button higher on this version, where the body juts out a little, to allow for easier one-handed control. On the right side of the player are the power button, volume controls, and playback controls. The touch screen size and resolution have been upgraded to 5 inches and HD (1280 x 720). It's USB 3.2 Gen 1, upgraded from USB 2.0. There's also a microSD card slot (this was on the bottom of the player in the first generation WM1A). round - which makes it easier to control. The hold switch has a new shape - elongated vs.
The left side of the player features a hold switch, which when activated will prevent unintentional pressing of buttons while the player is in your pocket or bag. Sony provides rubber caps for the jacks when they're not in use. On the top are a gold-plated 4.4mm balanced port and a 3.5mm single-ended port. The aluminum alloy frame is black, with a small gold "W" Walkman logo on the bottom right. The WM1AM2 has a sleek and streamlined look.
