Great flagship digital music player! Love it!

NW-ZX507 24-02-2021 door leo23054 (Verenigd Koninkrijk)

Bought this little guy 3 months ago and was really impressed by Sony. They did very well on this new flagship Walkman. The only thing to say is it's missing the DAC function that was on the ZX-300 Series. Hope that can come back at some point.

Great sound, great quality, but...

NW-ZX507 30-10-2021 door TonyG1155 (Verenigd Koninkrijk)

I bought this to replace my NW-ZX300, which has been fantastic. I was looking forward to an even better experience with the ZX507. Unfortunately, despite the great sound I found a number of disappointing aspects in terms of day-to-day. I found the audio quality (for me) pretty much identical to the ZX300 (which means it's great, not necessarily better); audiophiles into Hi-res may disagree, but I use it outdoors and when travelling so .MP3 plus a boost from DSEE is OK for me. I was looking forward to getting a bigger, brighter screen, but was disappointed to find that the ZX300 matte screen has been replaced with a shiny one - so reflection outdoors actually makes it less visible than the ZX300 - solved with a Brotect matte AirGlass screen protector, which performs very well (see the photo). Biggest issue for me is that here's no mass storage mode, so file transfer from my Mac (yes, some people actually use Macs, not Windows PCs!) has become particularly difficult - Sony's recommendation to use Google's "Android File Transfer" app (with warnings about possible withdrawal of the app and warnings it might not work on future macOS releases) is hardly inspiring, and most of the 3P Mac to Android file transfer apps don't work very well (if at all). And Sony have also dropped the media management software for Macs that used to be available for their players. AFT and drag-and-drop isn't much use when you're trying to synchronise 14,000 tracks - I've resorted to pulling the SD card and slotting it into my Mac so that I can use Bombich CCC to synchronise the music database (see next point). The switch to a tray for the SD card is probably fine if you don't have to remove it too often (see above). The tray is flimsy, and the card easily becomes unseated when you try to insert it - take care, it can jam if you try to push it in when the card isn't properly located in the tray. The Android apps provided are in some instances useless - I din't think I'd need to become an Android expert to make some things work - the file manager won't display or open (or in some cases even find) files on the device. I keep a library or Artist images and album covers and had to buy a third-party Android app to be able to view them. The file system is to say the least obscure, and the Sony device manual doesn't make any mention of anything that's not related to their Walkman music app. I would have thought that having moved to an Android platform they might also have adopted the standard Android device pinouts on the 3.5mm headphone jack so that users could use the in-line remote control that pretty much all wired headsets have - but no, the only way you can have remote control is if you're using bluetooth headsets, which means you don't have access to the various audio features on the device). Finally, it'd be good to have a single button to disable all of the apps that aren't required to use it as a day-to-day music player. On a more positive note, the switch to USB-C is a welcome improvement. I will keep it primarily because I suspect my NW-ZX300 has a limited time left before the battery finally gives up - if I had the choice between a new ZX300 and the 507 both at the 507 price I'd probably go for the 300. This is of course just my opinion, and others may disagree.

Goed product

NW-ZX507 27-03-2024 door ArjenAH (Nederland)

Geluid kwaliteit is geweldig, heb hem op een Sony koptelefoon aangesloten met een gebalanceerde aansluiting, klinkt erg goed. Het volume maximaal is begrensd dat valt een beetje tegen. Met draadloze verbinding is het volume niet gegrensd, alleen dit verbruik veel batterij... Over het algemeen een goed product!

Mooie DAP met een soms vervelende volume cap.

NW-ZX507 06-03-2021 door Wacko Jacko (Nederland)

Prima product, alleen doodzonde van de volume cap die Sony heeft aangebracht (wellicht naar aanleiding van de EU regels). Het apparaat kan voor mij meestal genoeg volume geven, maar ik kan me voorstellen dat dat niet voor alle headsets het geval is, of voor de wat zachtere opnames te veel beperkingen oplegt. Alle andere zaken zijn prima! Maar hierdoor geen vijf sterren. Het zou mooi zijn als er een nieuwe firmware komt waar dat toch een keuze wordt van de gebruiker en niet van de overheid.

Solid build

NW-ZX507 28-02-2021 door Crazyaboutmusic (Verenigd Koninkrijk) Geverifieerde verkoper Geverifieerd

Bought the sony nw-zx507 hi res music player in January. The pros are its solidly built, excellent sound when streaming music via amazon music HD, plays loud after you open developer options and switch off absolute volume, search online to find out how to enable developer options first though. Works fine with my 512gb memory card. Now for the negatives, the battery doesn't last long, especially if you like playing your music at max volume and use the highest quality settings and have the brightness at max. Mind you even with battery saver and everything else turned down including the volume it still doesn't last much longer. It is slow to boot up . I'd have preferred a 5" screen but its ok you can still type in searches or use voice search instead if you prefer. My biggest bugbear with sony products they won't bluetooth to absolutely everything that can do bluetooth pairing . In my case it bluetooth's to everything accept my sony tv and my car. Especially annoying that it won't connect with my car . I just keep on getting the message wrong passcode each time that I enter THE CORRECT PASSCODE on the sony device . Overall though I'd paid £230.00 LESS THAN the recommended retail price which I thought was a bit excessive, I'm happy with the product for the price that I paid, but not so happy that I can't use it inthe car because of the bluetooth issues.

Amazing Sound

NW-ZX507 09-02-2021 door Samuel Chelemen (Verenigd Koninkrijk) Geverifieerde verkoper Geverifieerd

Guys the only reason i have given 3 stars is that you have no option for volume cap I’m really sorry to see such a nice player with a lot of options but not worth in buying this product as you will be really disappointed any other MP3 out there or smartphones have a decent volume to listen and enjoy your music but this product is just *a same for Sony* .I really like Sony as a company but they really messed up with customer that way they can’t sell smartphones,M3 players, etc due to regulations on customer money when you listen customer you will make money, that’s the rule . Hope this review finds you well and help you in a way if you will buy this product Sony NW-ZX507 you will regret as you need to spend some extra money to buy a amplifier and is heavy to carry one with you.

NW-ZX507 Great but Flawed

NW-ZX507 17-04-2020 door tsiklon (Verenigd Koninkrijk) Geverifieerde verkoper Geverifieerd

Pros: - The ZX507 sounds great - It plays all of my music and any streaming platform I want to use (Amazon Music, Tidal, Apple Music, Spotify etc) - it uses proper Android as a base with access to the Google Play Store. - It's nice and compact, has a beautifully machined chassis - Transport controls and volume on the side are super easy to use and the hold button is a major benefit. - 4.4MM Balanced Output is a tremendous bonus. Cons: - I have a European Model. This particular model has a volume limiter and cannot be switched into High Gain mode. - A lack of high gain means that this can struggle to drive insensitive headphones (Fostex T50RP etc) to a suitable volume. Unless a method to enable High Gain mode is made available in Europe, I would recommend that one purchases this from another region.

Good sound quality, not so good in other respects

NW-ZX507 10-02-2020 door Anyoldname (Verenigd Koninkrijk) Geverifieerde verkoper Geverifieerd

The NWZ ZX weve been using to connect a Cocktail Audio server and Sony speaker was great. We had to replace it because of intermittent problems. The new ZX500 has very good sound. But surprisingly for Sony its physical design is poor. It's chunky and in comparison with the elegance of its predecessor, feels cheap to the touch. With hidden buttons on the side which have to be locked in place if you're carrying the unit (so you don't deafen yourself by mistake!) and a significantly smaller screen, it's not as easy to use. Coupled with the fact that the old Songpal software used to work on Sony's kit until they bought it up, leaving users like us without an app to control a 3rd party server, it's been a disappointment. If Sony would like to respond to this with advice on apps say, we would be very interested.
