    It's a shame tMobile's not carrying this device. While the hardware might not be on par with the V10 in terms of audio. I'd imagine the Walkman based software would have more than compensated! Fingers crossed I can grab the Z6 when it comes out! JOD ftw!!!

                            And that is the only reason Sonys mobile department is in red for last 5 or so years, despite them selling and earning on mobile more and more on year to year basis.
                            They are doing good, but had to cover that 1.5 bill in red, that Sony attributed to their mobile division.
                            They said this year finally they got that red covered...
                            So they are now even able to build a factory for mobile division.

                              Those two DO NOT relate. Ok?
                              Xperia z series have among highest sound quality software solutions, along with other top phone vendors...
                              The levels in this review are manufacturers presets and DO NOT relate to actuall sound quality possibilities. You get to tweak the sound in settings ( ie change the levels of every number on the list measured in the review) to your liking...
                              Get it?
                              Sound I get from my dedicated Sony headphones on my Z1c is better quality than my friends galaxy s6 edge. He has those loud boomsound headphones with exagerated bass on his s6 and the sound is bad. Gave him my mdr-ex450ap sony headphones and he was perplexed with what difference it made. Then he tried it on my z1c and was perplexed by better quality. We tweaked settings on s6 a bit and only then it sounded equally.
                              Sony presets sound variables of their phones to acommodate headphones they produce. Sound is superb and loud with my mdr headphones on my 2 year old z1c. On par with s6. Z5 has better sound software than s6 (hi fi).
                              So stop interpreting this review wrongly, and stop stubbornly repeating same things over and over.
                              End of story.

                                What sucks though, is people claiming sonys different software approaches suck...
                                More sucky even, is their need to keep repeating their personal opinion over and over on sony related threads, instead of just getting some other phone they subjectivly find unsucky, as to comment on its unsuckiness on its dedicated threads...
                                There is actually a definition of a troll, and calling "sucks" on sth you do not actually use is there somewhere in the explanation.
