I’m going back to sony because of walkman exrabass mega bass imagine with music phonk brazil rich of bass my ear ready for hospitality

    Lister, 09 May 2025It blows my mind knowing they sell the MDR-7506, which is b... moreyup, industry standard. They set the standard, everything was made according to those standards and guess what, Sony STILL owns a metric TON of labels. I feel like they'd nudge their artists a little bit towards headphones and stuff tuned to what Sony makes. Good business.

      Just reduce the price of your phone and increase the software update years and we're good to go....I love the Xperia because it has everything but the 2 things I mentioned

        massive leak of the chinese stream shows the phone will have 4 years of OS and 6 years of security updates!!

        also a bigger ultrawide and tele sensor, the uw is bigger than 1/2"

        There was a walkman app

          jiyen235, 09 May 2025bro Sony's one of the OGs in everything AV related....... moreI find Sony's iems over priced imho. Especially seeing what Chi-Fi does in the recent years, they broke the entire industry's norms.

          I have ex1000 and i have a huge iem collection. I've been always fan of Japanese companies' products but again it's too much.

          For ex. Ier-z1r, stopped production already, how many years have been? And still at least 800-1000$ range in second hand market with a proprietary cable. I've always kept am eye on ex1000 since the beginning of the hobby. I have them now. Unique? Yes. Sound? Not extraordinary with a unbearable peak around 6khz. I don't even mention the Frankenstein looking wearing style. 16mm lcp driver used to be unique back then but now. Simgot ea1000 easily reaches the same potential with much lower price. I have ibasso 3t-154 with 15.4mm driver, again very good tuning amd performance.

          Imho, only tws division doing fine packing all the features with a good Sony house tuning. Happy to use my xm5. Perfect during the flight.

          Sony suffers through the decision making, ridiculous conservative approaches, marketing strategies. Look at the ad lol. Doesn't seem professional to me. Not nowadays. It'd work back 2010s or even 2000s.

          Recently interested to buy a second phone and I really like their compact xperia 5 series. They stopped at 5 V lol.

          It took them ages to sharing top and bottom bezels and eventually they have their signature looking devices. That's good. But the pricing is ridiculous. Absolutely ridiculous with barely an improvement except SoC.

          Check motorola 60 edge stylus. Feature packed and crazy price. Sad part is only for India. I would love to see manufactures to do less bs stuff and more concrete moves in their marketing strategies...

              jiyen235, 09 May 2025bro Sony's one of the OGs in everything AV related....... moreIt blows my mind knowing they sell the MDR-7506, which is basically the same design since the 1980's, and they are still highly recommended.

                YourMother, 09 May 2025Hold up, Sony makes IEMs?sony makes everything

                  Maybe they're bringing back their Walkman app? They need to bring back more custom software.

                    "Powered by Walkman"... does it mean that it will skip tracks when you hold it at an angle? or when you look at it funny?

                      3rd angle is a 📺

                        "True Quality, real emotions"... whoever wrote that line needs to get fired. The lowest effort ever put in a teaser.

                        ( Not to mention they used footage showing an old phone, Xperia One IV -Mark 4- )

                          Sony is not available in my region. I love Sony mobiles.
                          Sony UI is good but little slow. Really great mobiles.

                            YourMother, 09 May 2025Hold up, Sony makes IEMs?bro Sony's one of the OGs in everything AV related.... Be it TVs, speakers, headphones or anything else like that, they've done it. They're not considered legendary for no reason.

                            Take a look at the IER Z1R or the Sony MDR-EX1000. If you have a keen eye then you'll see some of these IEMs being used by anime characters. THAT'S how GOATED they are!

                              jiyen235, 09 May 2025For what i say about their foolish mobile division i must a... moreHold up, Sony makes IEMs?

                                Excellent!
                                But The third teaser angle should be Playstation, not Bravia.

                                  I'm sorry for Sony, but they need more than a headphone jack and a microsd slot to convince people to buy their phones. If they don't sell well it's for a reason.

                                    For what i say about their foolish mobile division i must admit that their audio division is one of the best in the industry, just listen to these sounds, immaculately designed and mixed.

                                    Although I find it funny that they're talking about walkman capabilities whilst using a wireless headphone in the add lmfao

                                    Idk man maybe use your legendary IEMs??? smh
