I'll rather the cases don't cover the buttons. I prefer to feel the original click of buttons.

I have the xperia 1 II and III. Compared to other phones their sound is good, but nowhere near my XZ507. It also depends on the earphones. When using Sony N3AP 3.5mm the Xperias sound close to ZX507 but when using ier-m9 the ZX507 sounds much better.

It is recognized you like Xperia as well. But from camera tests, the Xperia sensors have as good if not better dynamic range. What you are referring to when gsmarena and other typical reviews compare jpeg output is the computational photography being more aggressive on the other makers. It does...

Check iPhondo video on Xperia and it shows it has much more dynamic range than what gsmarena shows, as gsmarena basically uses default basic app setting. It is computational photography tweaking the photos for Vivo and the likes, while Xperia leave the photos quite neutral.

That's computational photography, and no, those overly processed photos from Xiaomi and the likes do NOT appeal to photographers like me. We can achieve those effects using editing software if we want, and yes, Xperia record in raw format, not just jpeg for post processing. Low light photos...

It is like using APSC lens on my a7RIII camera. I get 18MP instead of 43 MP, but my 18MP low light performance is just as good as the 43MP photo if I used the FF lens, just cropped. The image will still have better ISO performance compared to a sensor with small pixel size (Xperia RX100 based...

Tried other DAPs, but still went back to the ZX507. It just works. Smoothly. Others may have fancy specs and high power output, but there's always a glitch here, an incompatibility there. The ZX507 battery is fine as I switch on airplane mode when playing music on my micro sdcard. When payed to...

Yes, seems the only solution is to kill Youtube Music to avoid conflict. However, I noticed the Shanling music app is able to take over from Youtube music without having to consciously killing Youtube Music. Too bad Shanling app is not versatile enough in reading playlists. Otherwise, it will be...

One request for Shanling, can you code your music player to scan directories for music file playlists with relative directory referencing to the music files? This works for Rocket music player and neutron music player, but not Shanling music app.

Noticed after playing YouTube Music, when I switch to Neutron player or other music player, M3X will not play any audio file. I have to kill the YouTube Music app by using the android task manager, then the other music players can play. Switching between music players other than YouTube Music...

I was considering the A2+ and the A5+. But given that I can place the speakers about 3 feet apart to the sides of my 27" monitor, I thought I'll go with the A2+. I'm not sure if the low bass would be sufficient. Since I've a spare Energy S8 sub, I'm thinking of using that with the A2+. Anyone...

Thanks K. Mine's the HD590. Old model. Think I'll give the HD650 a spin.

I'm currently using the HD590. Wondering if it'll be worth it to upgrade to the HD650? Tks.

Thank you for your feedback. The X7 sounds good. But so far, reviews of the XM7 speakers are few and far between. For a more manageable desktop sizing, I'm also considering Audioengine D1 DAC with A2+. Good thing is it's small and easy to place for near field listening, much like the Promedia...

I'm currently using Klipsch Promedia 2.1 with Seinnheiser HD590 on my PC. I'm pretty happy with the sound, which is balanced use for music, games (FPS) and the occassional movie.   But I'm quite intriqued if the X7 LE with XM7 bookshelf speakers would present a noticeable difference to my...
