Audiotechnica ath-m50
I only can recommend you:
Don't buy headphones with mic or handsfree... the device will reject it with an "accesory not supported" error. Sony Ericsson doesn't allow to use external handsfree headphones by hardware.
I tell you by Personal experience with a Brainwavz M4 headphones.
Excellent

Motorola S9-HD. Love these on my Play. Everything works exactly as expected. Music pauses for calls, wireless, deep bass (for earphones) and clean, crisp stereo sound. I'm in love with these, and I've had them longer than I've had my Play.
Sennheiser CX310 working great with Play
they dropped into a water and still working

If you want a good cheap option, go for the JVC Gumy... Theyre very good for the price.

Actually if you can stretch to 8.99GBP (from John Lewis, it's probably similarly cheap in other countries), Philips SHE-3590 go in-ear and are better still. :good: There's a thread on head fi about them (or 3580s, which are supposed to be basically the same). Overall nice bass, clear details and lots of blocking out of outside sound. I keep losing this type of earphone, so I have tried lots of the cheapies, including Gumy and Marshmallow.
I have a Sony XB-500 that is quite fun for the Play. The bass is deliberately overpowering and makes the earcups vibrate. It's not everyone's cup of tea for accurate representation of music, but it's fun and intense when things explode on Asphalt or Giga Wing... "Come on!!!" It's not a bad attempt to get an arcade experience on a phone.
My favourite overall headphone to my tastes is the Sennheiser HD25-1, but I'm parted from that now Really nice monitoring headphone that is good at being punchy and lively as well when it needs to be. It clamps the ears quite tight as its sold to DJs who don't want it to fall off their heads, but it eventually gets more comfy with use. The aforementioned Audio-Technica M50 is good too.
Bang & Olufsen A8 headphones.
Great sound for their size! Much better than this beats headphones that can only produce bass and nothing more.

After handling both the Z and the ZL for a few hours, the ZL is what I chose. I dont understand why it is a priority for everyone all of a sudden to have a water resistant phone. That, the much more durable and grippy curved plastic back, and the insane screen to body ratio were what made me buy the ZL.
If you guys would like to know anything in particular, please feel free to ask.
Pro Tip: For the folks in India, try asking the shopkeeper to exclude the headphones. They end up giving you a nice little discount. That is assuming you already have a good set of IEMs or cans.

I had no choise to go with the ZL the Z I would get edge/2G here in the USA haha. But The ZL seems to sound better than the ZL, I came from the Note 2 and Loving it!
Are those headphones worth that much for them to give such a discount? WoW I looked them up they sell for a good 30-50 USD. Thats interesting for headphones that come with a phone.

The Z has been out longer than the ZL, The Z is on Handtec, Negri, eBay, Amazon.
The Z has been out for a few weeks...
I initially thought I would like the clean lines of the Z, but at that size, such hard lines make it uncomfortable to hold. Now, if only they would make it in a 4.5-4.7 inch form factor, with the screen ratio of the ZL, it would be a perfect phone. Not to mention all the issues plaguing the Z, made the ZL a perfect choice for me :good:

Sony Center in South Extension Part 1. They have both the Z and the ZL on display. I am betting it should be there in Select Citiwalk too.
On a side note, can someone point me to a guide as to how to remove the nav bar?

I too chose the Xperia ZL over XZ. I agree with what u have said, and would also add that the sound on ZL is louder than Z. And i tested the screens and found that ZL has better screen (calibration perhaps?) viewing angles and colour vibrance than XZ (today i went back and confirmed it by checking 3 different XZ screens from 2 different sony stores). Also, physical camera key is a plus & the notification LED at bottom of ZL is an eye candy .
Lol, i was so moved by the ZL (the moment i saw it live in my hands) that i sold my note2 at once & bought the Zl (for a price difference of 6000INR). I also managed to get the Sony headphones (MDR-ZX100A worth 1490 INR) & the ZL tpu case (worth 1490 INR) free :good:.
@hyelton.. i too am coming from note2 & loving the ZL. The screen is gorgeous! Text appears crisp, no matter how small it is while browsing!

Add "qemu.hw.mainkeys = 1" (without the quotes) at the end of the build.prop in /system and reboot. The nav bar disappears. Now the ENTIRE screen is usable! Awesome!!
EDIT: Make sure to install and setup LMT launcher before you do this. Also, make sure startup is set to AUTO in LMT

Hey guys I have a Note 2 and I have been debating on selling it and getting the ZL ever since i saw it thats the phone i was waiting for to make the bezel as small as possible in a good screen size and zl did it. Im kind of getting tired of carrying a big Note 2 arround "dont get me wrong N2 is a beast". Couple of questing i love the speaker on N2 how does that compare on ZL and also how small is the ZL really is it smaller than the S3?
Ill prob check out the ZL when it hits AT&T, im between that and the s4. im kind of bored of samsung phones. I like a removable battery but its not a deal killer so we will see...

Hello there! I was in the similar situation as yours. I loved my note2 and it probably has the best battery backup among current android lineup. But i couldn't resist the ZL. Note2's internal speaker are definitely louder than ZL (by about 30% i would guess) and so is the default volume via earphones. But i find the sound quality much better on ZL (esp with clear audio mode) and default loudspeaker volume is higher on ZL.
About the size, it is significantly smaller than note2 & like the OP says, ZL has got stunning screen to bezel ratio (i think the best amongst all smartphones i've yet seen). GS3 is 5mm taller, 1.3mm wider and 1.2mm thinner as compared to the Xperia ZL. Smaller ZL yet packs 5" screen!
Has anyone tried the black and white one to see which one felt better?, I'm not so sure if I should get the black one, might not be used to the texture.

This was because Sony generally provides pretty awesome earphones(I had a HPM-77 Earphones which I got with my old w995)..so I was disappointed with these earphones considering that they are provided with flagship.models.

problem isn't with the earphones. They are awesome. It's the walkman app which is lacking. I was also dumbstruck when I first listened to songs using that app. Use "power amp" it makes a world of a difference!! I have it as my default music player app. It's the best out there. And the bass is way too much for my liking. I have to turn it down so that it doesnot affect my hearing

I think the walkman app does a pretty good job,,even I installed poweramp and I didn't notice any noticeable difference in the audio quality,also the same was experienced while earphones were used by other mobiles and devices.. the quality of the earphones is definitely not what you should expect from a flagship model from Sony

The amount of bass and isolation on in-ear headphones is strictly related, and both are related to the diameter of your ear and the way you use the headphones.
It is pretty simple: the more tight the in-ear headphone is, the more acoustic isolation you got and the more (a lot more) bass you got.
Sometimes you got bad luck with the size of the plugs. One may be too big and the other won't seal your inner ear correctly.
You may buy a cheaper product, but it will sound better because of the better sizing.
I think there is a problem with the headphones that came with the phone. I use the MW600 BT in the gym and they sound great!!!! What other phones can you use the ZL with?? Anyone try other ones?? Thanks.

High expectations, for what amounts to a free pair of ear buds... Uhhhh... Good on you bud. Expecting good sound from ANY earbud is a bit of a lost cause on it's own. Though if you use something like Equalizer you can get things to sound MUCH better.
Yoy should know that every human have different shapes of ear hole, I tried all 3 buds wich included in complect, and I was pretty surprised whith the sound of the smallest one. Now installed http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2213618 this and sound pretty cool ^^
hey buddy, i've passed for the same situation. not enough bass and weak noise isolation.
but i made an modification in the headphone so that give me powerful bass and enough isolation
my phone is ex300ap. it's so easy and simple trick, if someone wants, i'll make a little tutorial.
the only "problem" is that the phone makes a little "pump" when you pull off from ears

I like my ZL more than my iPhone 4, but after seen a HTC one and how the speakers work and where they are, Sony should learn from it and make the next xperia's speakers better and on the front or down side like the iPhone.

Well im for one a fan of both Sony and HTC...been using it for years and have fun with it...what I like about HTC is when it come from software, I like the widget... Big, useful and nice design unlike Sony widget...it's small and not nice to look when on big screen...kinda boring...but I like the transparent in home screen...both I like about Sony and HTC is the status bar...if you think about it, both of them have the beautiful status bar...only both of them have a horizontal battery icon, not vertical like the others..same like iphone...and look kinda nice not like others which look kinda cartoonish...I have many others but too much to say...and about hardware wise...the design on both of them is premium to hold and beautiful to see..about the speaker position, I don't care where they put it unless its not covers with my hand when I hold it and hope it loud enough to heard....speakers in front is useful when listening to music and watch movies and that a great advantage in One..Sony who have been in entertainment business should know better to not only put listening pleasure only when putting a pair of headphone...on when I agree with you on this one but not want to Sony to use the same aspect as the One, it will unbalance the design aspect...but just hope for the best I think...?

In all this years I haven't used the phone speakers even once. I think they should stay as cheap as they are so we don't have to pay an abnormal price for the xperia like the HTC One. It costs 150 Euro more then the xperia z.
I know how we laughed at the HTC commercial because their only argument was the speaker position. Wth do you need the speaker on a phone for?

Agreed.. I used it only sometimes during a call..but that's about it..I don't care about the quality..I guess on the front makes more sense but I wouldn't pay more for it
HTC has best speakers at the moment, but this is still not it, the sound is still shallow/dull. If I want to listen music I will use my hi-fi system not a smart phone
err I think it htc one has more much more then loud speakers going for it. Screen, UI, stability, design, smoothness, hardware. The only things I prefer my ZL over my HTC One is the notification light, ext memory and possibly camera and all other depts. HTC One kills it.
So SOny could learn a lot from HTC.
Bought one of the BT/wired sony sphere speakers if I want to play music louder on the go. For general phone use, I really don't care as long as it's good enough quality to use speakerphone without it sounding like complete crap (which it is).
I really doubt this is any kind of a major purchasing factor.

millions disagree with you. Why pay for additional speakers and have to carry the buggers around when you can have built in front loud speakers!!
I owe ZL and the speaker sound is crap compared to HTC One and that is no exaggeration.

You don't "have to", otherwise people wouldn't be buying millions and millions of phones by other manfacturers that don't have this speaker setup... That is not conjecture.

I'm not comparing other phone just ZL..out of the 2 One is the one, we all know which One is outselling the other. Had I not HTC one to compare to ZL I probably sound like you but fortunately I'm not a fanboy of either just prefer better smartphones.
A phone speaker is made to play notification sounds and for handsfree calling, nothing else. To play music, use decent speakers. I hate it when idiots mess up music by playing it through the tiny speaker of their mobile phones.

It is not just for music, with a screen like the ZL, you can watch movies and videos too. The quality of the speakers always matter and perhaps does not matter to you but other people who watch or listen to multimedia in their ZL is very important

Only my opinion - ZL's back speaker is very decent, I can say above average, and satisfy completely for watching movies, youtube etc. If ZL will have front speakers it will be bigger, but I had bought ZL because it has perfect dimensions for 5'' phone and again my opinion, ZL is one of the best phones in the market at the moment:good:

I can agree with you completely regarding improvements, there's always place for improvements
I disagree, if a video has a sound that requires good sound i just use my earbuds, if more then one person would like to see it the smartphone is note the best gadget to display it (specially one with poor display angles like ZL). I do agree that the speaker should be louder (it's hard to hear waze directions if my car's radio is on), but that's all, all other function of the cel speaker only requires an ok speaker.
Sometimes I don't know if we are talking about same phones. My ZL's speaker is even too loud, volume never at maximum and no problem listening radio and navigation directions ...

err I think it htc one has more much more then loud speakers going for it. Screen, UI, stability, design, smoothness, hardware. The only things I prefer my ZL over my HTC One is the notification light, ext memory and possibly camera and all other depts. HTC One kills it.
So SOny could learn a lot from HTC.

Ermmm. No. Stability and fluidity is comparable. And nope, Xperia Z have a nicer design, though it's a personal preference. Hardware? Please be more detailed?
And nope, HTC One simply don't kill anyone. Sony sold 9.6 million phones last quarter which thrashed HTC, Motorola and BB's figures.
This shows that Xperia Z is more appealing to consumers compared HTC One.

I disagree. The launch of the Motorola X was this majorly hyped event by Google. Yet, looking at the X as a ZL owner, I see that Sony did it right. The ZL is the phone for those who want the biggest screen on the smallest body with no compromises on performance or memory expandability.
The One is a nice phone... but it's smaller screen and taller body (the cost of the speakers) isn't the only choice to be made.
On a usage basis, I do often listen to music on the ZL... in the car over bluetooth (google play music has replaced XM Radio) and on the train/plane/gym over (non-oem) headphones. The only time I listen to the speaker is when my phone is having problems with bluetooth connections to my car and I want to talk and drive.
In my list of things for sony to put on a late 2013/2014 ZL, I'd place upgraded processor first, bigger battery second, better viewing angle/lower battery hog screen 3rd, keeping microSD 4th, better camera/top placement on front camera 5th, slimmer design 6th, changed placement of microusb port 7th.

I like my ZL more than my iPhone 4, but after seen a HTC one and how the speakers work and where they are, Sony should learn from it and make the next xperia's speakers better and on the front or down side like the iPhone. I am however like more how the HTC one have the speakers, man what a big difference. Do you guys agree?

In all this years I haven't used the phone speakers even once. I think they should stay as cheap as they are so we don't have to pay an abnormal price for the xperia like the HTC One. It costs 150 Euro more then the xperia z.
I know how we laughed at the HTC commercial because their only argument was the speaker position. Wth do you need the speaker on a phone for?

I think so, a good audio process chip is much important than a good speaker.
