Earphones That Come With the Play

I've heard they're not that good but I think they're great. They have lots of bass.
I've compared them with ridiculously priced ones from HMV (which do bounce about on your head a bit) but they have some bass on them.

Your question?
I like them too, i tried to get a replacement pair from sony chat services and they were very reluctant, they really wanted me to buy some livesound headphones from them for £79 but i got them from play.com, they are very good (bass heavy)

They are utter crap if you ask me. Sure they have some bass. But bass is far from everyting. Where's the treble? It's pretty much non existant. The difference is so huge with better earphones. Why be happy with the Sony ones when you can get other ones with better bass and much much better treble.

The sound quality is horrible, i ended up getting the mw-600 to replace the stock ones, and they sound 100 times better.

I use a pair of Audio Technica M50 earphones and the sound is amazing. Sure they are bulky but I don't care =D

they sound good on the xperia play only any other device and they wont play any good sound best headphones ever are bluetooth rocketfish for 57 bucks

I still think they're OK.
Short of paying tens, if not hundreds, of pounds.

I removed the filters and they are loud as.

The volume is weaker when compared to my other ear phones. Sound quality wise, it's just ok (I'm not an audiophile).

I was just thinking today how good the stock headphones are. What are people expecting from stock supplied headphones?
Just looked at the MW600 and that does look sweet.

I just realised that I could plug in normal headphones without a microphone and still make and receive calls using the phones Mic

The stock ear cans do have decent bass, the problem is everything else is really really muddy and the bass is just booming there isn't much definition.

i use my sennhieser hd202 for music and a bluetooth for calls
the stock are ok but i do love my music nice and crisp

If the stock earphones aren't that good then I'd love to try some other ones.
If there's one thing I've noticed about them it's that sticking them up your nostrils then yawning, it doesn't make it sound as though the sound is coming from inside your head as much as others I've tried.

It's freaky. It sounds like the music is inside your head. You have to use the hard plastic earphones though. Stick 'em up there and yawn.

Xperia V vs. Ion impressions

Hi all,
I have the red Ion (lt26h) and now a nice black V. Here are some quick impressions:
1. Battery life: the Ion seems to happily last a few hours longer than the V. I listen to music and Whatsapp a lot.
2. Screen: the screen on the Ion seems to have better contrast, deeper blacks and the V looks slightly yellowish
3. Audio: the music output via speakers sounds better on the Ion. Via headphones, the V has more distortion
4. Camera: the rear camera on the V is sharp, fast and virtually zero lag. The front camera blows monkeychunks and feels like a bad joke - poor quality, not sharp, etc.
I'll add more as I discover them... anything in particular you guys want to know?
The Ion is definitely a "premium" phone. But the V will be with me often, especially when out in the field where I know I'll get drenched in rain.

Follow-up on battery life: in Singapore this is marketed as the "Bond Phone". It's no wonder he was uncontactable for so long!

Hehe yes a little
But seriously I´ve just got my V and it feels so and so, coming from a Note II it feels a little small and slow... I know it's a personal preference but should I stick with it or change to an Ion? ( just looking for user inputs )

Ive switched from note/note2 to V and T aswell. Loving the switch so far, running cm on the T and stock on V. For some reason the V feels a bit better in my hand than the T. The volume rocker and power button is better placed aswell on the V. Waiting to see new sony phablet aswell but so far very happy with my V minus the batterylife since im used to note2.

If you have spare money - don't even think, upgrade. It's a phone you'll be happy with for many many months, and it's so much better than S in almost every aspect.

AW: Upgrade from XS
I guess i should have expected thosr answers im just a student though amd dont really have a lot of money
Sent from my LT26i using xda premium

For those who have had/used both how do the screens compare i was more than happy with my XS.

I have both the S & Z, The Z is so much quicker and responsive everything is just a better experience,
But if money is tight It may be worth waiting to see what the S Jelly Bean experience is like.
Of course if you want the bigger beautiful screen and are in the habit of dropping your phone in the Loo then the upgrade to the Z is a no-brainer easily the best phone available at the moment (In my opinion)

AW: Upgrade from XS
I guess ill just hope XS JB will ne good else ill wait till i have enough money

Lol..why wouldnt it be worth it, Z/ZL is better than XS in every aspect and yes the screen is better..

Audio Quality

Hello guys,
Sorry if there is already a thread like this. I searched the forum before, but the Tapatalk search function is really bad.
So: how is the audio quality? Can it replace a Cowon iAudio player? Sony is a big player in terms of sound equipment, so I put quite much hope in them.
I am not one of this guys whose spend lots of money in things like cables and portable amps. But I have really high requirements in sound quality, my Galaxy Nexus and Nexus 7 could not satisfy me, neither my iPod classic.
Best regards

you are asking a lot for a phone and being cheap. Unlock your phone, install the kernel by dooom, by far that help me out the most, but dont expect it to be a blessing by the gods.

Thanks guys. I haven't bought the phone yet, but will try these things when I have it

XZ stock sound is rubbish, ear piece is to quiet ect but after you have you new toy then root install CWM for locked BL and flash PureXAudio to a point you will have to turn volume down. Just remeber on locked BL please dont factory reset/wipe cache because i am sure i will see you in Q&A with bootloop problems.
You dont want to unlock your BL yet not intill you are happy and comfortable with what are doing/modding

Stock sound not good.
Root and install PureXAudio. The quality will be fantastic great!

Now... PureXAudio or this Viper thing?

PureXAudio definitely.. Haven't seen much people using viper... To be honest that's the first time seeing that in these forums

Why is stock sound (earphone, not loudspeaker, the louspeakers are too soft) bad? The audio chip used is the Qualcomm WCD9310, which ranks just below Wolfson but beats everything else as far as audio quality goes.

With my very limited knowledge, I think Sony hasn't fully utilised the capabilities of the chipset.. But PureXAudio does that for you

The Xperia Z + PureXAudio can replace the Cowon iAudio Player for sure. I had a chance to hear both of them and the Z tops it.

Yeah, thats really good news. What about noise/soughing when WiFi is on? With my N7 and Urabnears Zinken/Xears , I can hear hum and noise in the background when surfing using WiFi...

No problem at all. Not even with my bluetooth set. I'm also using the PureXaudio mod and each time I listen to music I have the feeling that I'm in heaven. It's pure quality.
I haven't tried the other mod (don't have any reason to), so I can't say anything about it.

Try Version 11 of Pure X audio..its the loudest..i still use it and didnt upgrade as higher versions are lower.

Reasonably cheap and really good sound. Mic and 1 button remote working on XV

Jabra is overpriced,sony mh750 wasn't that bad..y not get sony ex300 xperia z's headphone? Heard it did pretty good job in bass and clarity. OH,btw.. I'm using a jvc Ha S500. No android remote button. But I bought an extension with control.

Dun buy ibeats,buy urbeats..coz ibeats button only work for Apple. The urbeats from HTC works. Xperia Z's headphone would better. And it's cheap. You can get it in ebay around 10 USD.

The Sony headsets that come with the mid-high end models are excellent.

If u are paranoid abt sound quality like I do.. I would say get jvc's carbon nanotubes headphone.

I import it over to my country...as they dun sell it to out from japan. And u can try buying it in ebay,since most eBay seller is from japan. I dun think there will be fake product or watever so.. Since china just imitate famous product only like beats all these. They have earbuds version of carbon nanotubes based headphone..would be pricey. But the quality is superb.

Sony mh1c !!!
The SONY MH1C is excellent, far better than the stock sony headsets. And it is relatively cheap.
It has an extremely wide banwidth, with perhaps a little lack of bass, but this can easily compansated adjusting Clearbass.

I have some history with headsets, none with mic or control.
All started with the Phlips SHE9550 that's very bass head and some times depending on the EQ the bass blow away the other frequencies. After that one I had a Sennheiser CX380, this was my first contact with above average quality phones and this one emphasis tha clarity. My last is the Sennheiser CX475 that have bad contact. The CX475 has amazing sound quality in a very compact house, I can lie over it without feeling.
Overall durability of them were about 1 year give or take. Now I have no money to by a new one:crying:
