Lose yourself in high-quality sound that’s even more dynamic and transparent, with a richer, more expansive sound field. Coupled with the ease of downloading and streaming music, it takes your listening enjoyment to a whole new level. Encased in an aluminum alloy frame, this music play is rigid and resistant to electrical noise and interference. S-MasterTM HX digital amp technology, independently developed for Walkman®, is compatible with Native DSD format and supports balanced and high power output. It helps create a rich and full-bodied sound, further enhanced by new high-quality lead-free solder.

Large solid high polymer capacitor

Adapted as battery assist for the amplifier block, the newly developed large solid high polymer capacitor offers large capacitance and low resistance. Able to instantaneously supply large amounts of power, it can accurately output signals by preventing sudden falls in voltage. This contributes to a clear, powerful, and accurate bass sound, as well as clear vocals.

FT CAP3 (High polymer capacitor)

Custom-made for Sony and tuned by Sony engineers, FT CAP3 is adopted for all bypass capacitors in the audio block power supply. Drawing on know-how cultivated in high-end home audio development, it has helped to improve sound expression and create a smoother sound, with a wider sound space, more transparency, and tighter bass.

OFC Milled block

An OFC milled block covers the digital block, helping both to strengthen the digital ground and improve noise shielding from digital block elements such as the application processor and memory devices. The result is a clearer sound that appears to rise up from silence.

Extraordinary sound begins with exceptional components

In our quest to achieve the best possible sound quality on the WM1AM2, we’ve upgraded a number of components. We’ve also worked tirelessly to optimize the layout of the various parts – another crucial factor in realizing high-quality sound. Components added are an oxygen-free copper cable, crystal oscillator, and fine sound register.

Balanced connection

The Walkman® features a balanced single plug, designed for the 4.4mm balanced connection cable. This separates left and right sound signals while minimizing signal transmission loss and resulting sound deterioration. It features supreme quality with 11.2 MHz DSD native using balanced headphones and PCM 384KHz/32-bit support. Enjoy High-Resolution Audio quality without wires thanks to LDAC, our premium wireless codec. The Walkman includes MQA technology, which enables you to play back MQA audio files.

Distinctive rear section

The machine-carved aluminum rear frame offers high rigidity, contributing to clear, transparent sound reproduction. The inclusion of larger audio parts to enhance sound quality is evident in the distinctive rear section, which is noticeably thicker than its predecessor.

Analog Style

The volume UI on the WM1AM2 echoes classic analog design – a nice little detail to further enhance your listening enjoyment.

Wi-Fi lets you stream and download even more music

Supported by Android™ and compatible with Wi-Fi, the WM1AM2 gives you even more freedom to enjoy music, listen to your favorite streaming and music apps on your Walkman or connect to a PC to download tracks and playlists from your music collection.

Large 5.0” display

Smooth and responsive, the large 5.0” touchscreen display has been enlarged from its predecessor’s 4.0” display and upgraded to HD.

Long Battery Life

Immerse yourself in your music with up to 40 hours of non-stop 96kHz FLAC High-Resolution Audio playback.

USB Type-C® port

A USB Type-C port, compatible with USB 3.2 Gen1 offers fast music file transfer and easy connectivity with a range of devices.
