> Sony W995 Poor Sound Quality - firmware?
Bookmark topic
cheers guys - I did try different eq settings as well as the built in ones and I certainly will try the ones suggested.
As said I did get soemone else to listen to my phone who is well into good audio and is in a band. I did it kind of double blind - I didn't mention that I thought there was something wrong with it, just told him it was the new top end walkman phone and would he like a listen. He volunteered that he thought the sound was poor. Not scientific I know but for one of your workmates to say this about a brand new phone is pretty convincing to me.
He had some shure headphones and tried it with different qaulity mp3 and aac tracks etc. and came to the same conclusion. I was using the supplied sony ones (as I have done with prev phones)
pt020 - I didn't realize the w800 walkman was so well thought of - perhaps that my downfall - I had both the w800 and then w810 phones and so was expecting this one to sound better..which it my opinion it falls well below.
I also love sony stuff - my home cinema is all sony etc, so I really do want this phone to be the muts nuts. I see what the swap brings and let you know then. btw I think the rest of the phone features are ace.

Well, at least we both agree that SE phones trash Apple

I found the w995 had a solid sound although with certain music on various settings it does become a bit woolly with the sound. I once had that problem with the rubbish w910 whereby the sound would fade in and out and was very tinny. Worst phone they ever made the w910 imo

I have W995 for me and Yari for father. I don't know but Yari sounds better.

pt20, 90% or more of us had the 810. Its like saying you never had a monochrome Nokia. You were probably lucky with it or your 995 got a bit unlucky. Whatever the case, my friends have 810s and stared gaping wide with their mouths open at how good the 995 sounded.
