the end-users are us, well the only reason that the press said it had high quality music is because the 1st firmware R1L002 for w800i didn't have this background noise and this is when the press started writing reviews and stuff for the phone. but after you upgrade ur firmware BOOM the quality of music drops :[

its shit quality music if you ask me. my w800i background hiss when listening to mp3s is unacceptable and ruins everything. what an embarassment to the walkman series. even a cheap mp3 player is heaps better in regards to music quality.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I don't know why so many people are slating the SE phones for poor sound quality?

I have the W810i my brother has the W800i and my wife has the W900i! Not one of these phones has any hissing or poor quality sound during audio playback?

Maybe there are a select few out there that may need reaplcing? But in my / our experiences they seem to be pretty much flawless.

We have all got the SE speakers also and OMG is the sound quality so good on them it's unbeleivable.

""2. Brand recognition

The Walkman brand is well established in the music business. Through the Sony history of providing cassettes, CDs, mini-discs and MP3 players, end-users associate "Walkman" with high-quality and innovative portable music players. ""

"high-quality".....i guess they are refering it to SONY'S Walkman not SE's....they are jst telling how popular the WALKMAN brand was even before it came to SE.....

correct me if im wrong...

Thankyou

Straight from SE Support regarding W800's music playback:

Quote:
We have now received an answer and this will not be fixed for the W800i since this is an issue regarding an earlier update to prevent digital distortion.

...

As in previous message this hissing sound is because of a fix which prevents digital distortion.

This fix have increased the background noise and will unfortunately not be fixed.


Now, if people still claim their W800i's don't produce any hissing noise, then there's only three possible explanations:

1. Their W800s are running R1L002;
2. They play their music on loud volume that drowns the hissing noise;
3. Their ears aren't sensitive enough.

"High-quality"? Yeah, right.

Whenever I hear "Walkman" now, I can't help but be reminded of a "hissy" noisy music playback.

I don't know if that's what SE meant by "high quality".

This shows that SE don't want to admit that thier w fones are not upto standard yet.

ive used a whole load of different w800s and w800is, and ive never heard hissing noises on any of them, i had one perswon come to me with a hissing noise problem and it was fixed by a firmware upgrade - and how the hell can you call a minority of one device an entire series when its maybe one batch of w800is that have a hissing noise when god knows how many million have been shipped and theres 10 phones in the brand series so far

and have you guys not heard an ipod?

The W800 is one of the 10 Walkman phones and not to mention the first one. Can the same hissing be found in the 9 other Walkman phones as well? This message was posted from a Nokia
