Hi @all,
Since i`m interested in the V10 (had a G4 before, and the only thing that i didn`t like was it`s audio quality), i was reading through this thread and thought i would share a little bit of my experience regarding two Phones that are occasionally mentioned here.. I had an Meizu Pro 5 until yesterday and traded it for a Xiaomi Mi note Pro (also a suppossed Phone for Audiophiles).
First my impressions about the Meizu Pro 5:
I`m no professional and don`t know all the specific terms, but that thing sounds absolutely phenomenal. I`m also not using expensive headphones (AKG 518 DJ), but even with these, the difference between this device and all the other Phones i`ve ever heard (HTC`s, Iphones, Xperias etc) is like day and night. It`s really another world in comparison. The sound is extremly clear, with absolutely no distortion even on max loudness (and that thing is veeeery loud), the soundstage is wider, the whole sound is much cleaner than on any other device i`ve ever listened to. You can really hear every single noise/instrument, no matter how far in the background it is. The trebles can be a little harsh/sharp, but they`re never getting distorted either. It has also plenty of bass, which, what i think is very important, sound right in every situation.Depending on the music/song you`re listening to, the bass will sound hard when it`s supposed to, and sound soft when it has to sound soft. It`s not that aritificial digital sound that you`re getting on most phones, the sound is just amazing.
I didn`t like the software of this phone, but the audio is absolutely superb. Somehow they managed to make it worse with the 5.5 update, so everyone who thinks about buying this phone and cares about audio - stay with flyme 4.5.
Speaking about the Xiaomi, the sound is vastly inferior to the Meizu. It also has DAC and AMP, but it seems that they didn`t know how to optimize it, or they just don`t care. The sound gets distorted on high volume, it is not as rich and sounds more "compressed" than on the Meizu, the bass is weaker and will meddle with the middles and heights when you set it too high and all in all, it sounds more artificial. Don`t get me wrong, it will still sound better than most Smartphones, but the Meizu is another league.
Also, you can either choose between the HI-FI setting (which sounds awful to my ears) OR the equalizer, but you can`t use both together. I don`t know which idiot made that decision, but he should be fired immediately
.
Now if any person here listened to the V10 and the Meizu Pro 5, it would be nice to hear a detailed comparison. I really want to get the V10 since i`m used to the G4 and the camera was awesome, but i can`t believe that any phone can sound better than the Pro 5.
