Several sites have articles about Sony Electronics's forthcoming "Signature Series" of audio equipment. It is to consist of the MDR-Z1R headphones, the TA-ZH1ES headphone amplifier, and two Walkman portable audio players.

The NW-WM1A player will have an aluminium casing and a recommended selling price of $1,200. The NW-WM1Z will have a casing of gold-plated "oxygen-free" (according to the press release) copper and is to sell for $3,200 (according to the press release). They will weigh 267 grams and 454 grams (0.589 pounds and 1.00 pounds). They will be capable of playing Direct Stream Digital and pulse code modulated audio files. They will have touch screens, buttons and dual headphone jacks.

The headphones, at a suggested retail price of $2300, will have balanced cabling, a 4.4 mm connector, a titanium head band, and 120 kHz response.

The amplifier, at $2200, will have balanced and unbalanced outputs.
