Last year I made a post about 2 upcoming media players from Sony that were identified on a Bluetooth certification site, the ICX-1291 and ICX-1300.  Well with Sony finally releasing the online manuals/guides for both the A50 and DMP-Z1, I can finally confirm that the NW-A50 is the ICX-1291 and the DMP-Z1 is the ICX-1300.

Sony CES 2019 Preview


This upcoming Monday, Sony will be holding their CES 2019 press conference.  I would not expect much in the terms of any new Walkmans, if any show up, they might be either just the current A50 and the DMP-Z1, but probably only the DMP-Z1.  Currently only one new pair of headphones passed through the FCC, the WH-XB700.  I was hoping Sony would update their wireless offerings, and include the new Qualcomm chips I wrote about last year but I guess this will be later on in the year, maybe.
