[Q] Do Beats by Dre headphone works with sony Xperia Zl ? - Sony Xperia ZL

Hey I had Booked Monster Beats Dr. Dre Solo HD from Ebay, but I had Doubt that do it work with my Xperia Zl, N what would be its Audio Quality, Plz help n rply !

Do NOT buy Beats
They're **** headphones, cheaply made and sound like ****.
I've owned two different pairs of Beats, two different styles and the stock Sony earbuds that came with my ZL and Z1 sounded better.
Go to your local Sony store and check out their headphone selection. Match the price with what you're paying for Beats and you'll be blown away by the difference.

LiveSound vs. SE in-box headset

i just ordered the livedock and thought about the livesound.
i need a good headset because im technically 24/7 listening to music.
now i just use the headset that comes with the xperia arc but i have to know how is the livesound compare to the stock headset? is there any difference from the bass, the volume and the quality?
I do not know about LiveSound, but MW600 is awsome!!! And it is wire free!!!
Mw600 or livesound...go for it. Im using livesound as we speak. I had mw600 till it broke

Which one was the best ?
To be honest livesound has the better sound quality. Though the mw600 was good too expect sometimes id hear crackles even if the phone is right next to me. Plus the upside of the licesound is that you wont be using battery on the phone for bluetooth either

i use a mw600 with sennheiser cx 300 earphones and sound is clear and powerfull
I will disagree about battery for bluetooth...Practice shows that powerfull earphones (cord) uses more battery trugh high impedance... I consider it with W950i( great phone!!!) + HBH-DS220 instead of Koss earphones or stock HPM-85... I see that it is working for an ArcS + MW600... MW600 great choice, for me I am using it with my Laptop for music, movies and skype...and I hate wires now)))
i got the cx300 too btw.
so should i buy the mw600 or the livesound? all i need is the buttons for the music, good bass, good quality and high volume.
so which do you think is better?
1-0 for MW600. But you should hear some from people who heared both...MW600 and LiveSound.
All the same to me, i have been trying to find the stupid livesound everywhere in mexico and nobody sells, im tired of looking 4 it.
and SE online sales are useless btw, they tell me to look for them in convenience stores cuz there are no more online sales at least for mexico.
the livesound headset is simply amazing, i have to use playerpro boost bass with the stock headset, but livesound just gives better bass quality.

Early unboxing - No Beats headset!

Hey guys, these are some early unboxing videos of the HTC one X and as you will see, all the videos clearly show that the phone comes with a normal headset and not the Beats headset as claimed .
sucks..gotta buy it seperatly
It does suck a little bit, but for the price (about £30) you can buy far superior earphones.
So yeah, a pain, but not the end of the world
Guys.. be happy about it, really.
I never wanted to have a Beats Headset with it.
A friend of mine has the Sensation XE/XL which comes with Beats Audio (and Beats Headset), he said the phone is beast, but the Beats headset is total crap.
The name sounds cool 'Uhhh original headset of Beats', but the quality of the headset is worse than HTC's standard headset.
He said it sounds horrible and any other headset would be better.
I, for myself, have bought good Sennheiser Headphones for 120€ to use with the Htc One X.
The Beats Audio is just an equalizer setting, which 'should' make the music sound better, also by adding more Bass to it.
But anyway... the Beats headset which normally comes with HTC phones sounds bad and Beats headset itself breaks very, very fast.
I'd be happy that I don't get such crappy headphones with it.
HTC knows that it was a mistake to give such heaphones with their high quality phones, that's why they decided in most cases (and even staff of HTC said so), to not include a beats headset as that would lower the quality.
Beats Audio is overrated. The equalizer setting is nice, the beats headset isn't.
Just get some Sennheiser's and you'll be more happy than you would have been with Beats, over-rated stuff.
I too don't care much even though if it were there I would've been happier, but those headsets really really sucks. Most people like those headsets that goes in the ear not those ones

Overrated.....but comes for free so why not take it? If anything, resell it for profit.
Beats aren't terrible, it depends what kind of music you enjoy listening to. Definitely better for more modern stuff like dubstep etc...hip hop/R&B
As for Beats Audio, it's an equalizer right now but they're going to integrate it a lot deeper
any good in-ear earphones that can control music and pick up calls to recommend? previously i was hoping they will give the earphones similar to those in sensation xl, that are in-ear and can control music and pick up calls.. guess that is happening this time round.

Almost certain all 3.5mm headphone/earphones work with the HOX

As long as its a normal 3.5mm jack audio port. Which most headphones today are, they will almost certainly work.

Sound quality

Guys, I will be having a Verizon xperia Play in a few days. I wanted to ask what is your view on sound quality and bass as compared to phones like nexus S?
Well for me sound quality isn't equivalent to the amount of bass. My suggestion is to simply upgrade the headphone for that or buy a phone with hip branding such as DrDre phones.
I care more about clarity and I must say the Play have excellent sound quality, to my ears comparable to the Galaxy S though with smoother signature. I have to say Galaxy S with Voodoo kernel have the edge especially the RMAA test show the S with more accurate responses, but I prefer the way the Play is tuned for the ears. Also the stereo speakers are better.
I am actually not fond of supporting Sony, but if their other phones sound this good with similar smooth sound I might have to consider them for the future because good sounding Android phones are not abundant, especially coming from the Galaxy S.

Thanks buddy for your view on this.
I have a pair of AKG 518 and a Sennheiser HD202 and i gotta say that the best sound quality i've listen is from the iPhone/iPod.
I've never tested the Nexus S, but others phones like Nexus (I don't know how different from Nexus S is), Galaxy SII, Galaxy Ace, and for me, as lekhwani said, the Galaxy is probably a better option with the voodoo kernel (and even wihtout it). The Xperia Play doesn´t have a bad sound quality, but does not satisfied a person who is looking for the best sound quality in music.
If you care more about the music than the games and you don´t have enough money, you should probably go for an iPhone 3G.
Talking about headphones, if you really like a heavy bass, the Dr. Dre Beats Audio headphones are good, but if you really want to listen to a better and clear audio you should try something from AKG, Sennheiser or AIAIAI (go to a BestBuy and try yourself).
In my personal opinion Xperia Play sound quality is not good enough, not even with apps like poweramp or walkman player. The only really good thing in the XPlay is the stereo speaker.
Why are you exactly getting an Xperia Play?

Of course Xperia Play has the loudest sound in smartphones world because it has 2 speakers
But when talking about the purity, I think there are phones have a purer sound
i've actually tested the xperia play vs my brothers galaxy nexus and the play actually had better mids and highs with better overall sound.
i'm in music production and used both hd-650's and yamaha hs-50's.

Guys, I received mine about a few hours back. I am very much impressed with the build quality.
But seems I have some problem. Mine did not come with earphones. I have tried several others earphones and headphones. The sound seems muffled and abnormal and bass is completely missing and lyrics are very low. .
I researched a bit and found that my phone might have one of these issues.
1.Faulty Device, or
2.Proprietary Xperia Play Earphones needed.
I used extreme bass on Power AMP but saw no bass. Also used equalizer app to no avail.
I tried brainwavz, skull candy, creative, philips, lg, Sony Ericsson Xperia pro mk16i earphones. But the sound was not much different in any of these.
Kindly suggest me what do?
You need to get some xperia play earphones or an adapter
It should be fine with regular stereo headphones, but for headset it must be Sony.

The galaxy nexus is known to have a poor sounding dac (by TI I think), so is the SII (Yamaha). The Galaxy S and international SIII are the ones with Wolfson dac. The dac for the Qualcomm S4 phones are supposed to sound decent to.

I have tried various stereo earphones and headphones, but no difference in sound.
I tried Xperia pro earphones also. No difference.
Can a adapter or original Xperia play earphones make any difference?
Or, do I have a faulty device?

Probably is just me but i'd rather how my headphones sound in the Galaxy SII that in my Xperia Play.
I use a $10 pair of headphones I got from gamestop, along with this app https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.smartandroidapps.equalizer and xloud (not sure if it helps or not for headphones, but it does for speakers)....I hear noticeable bass and I don't use the adapter.

xLoud is just for the speakers.
As I said I am having verizon cdma version. And I read in a review that verizon phone comes with a 3.5 mm adapter to use with non-sony ericsson phones. Otherwise the sound does not come properly.

In bluetooth headset the sound is coming fine.

[Q] About sound on xs and z1

Hello guys
I have an Xperia S and I think that its sound on headphones are low, I tried a lot of Xperia S and I still thinking the same...
but is no problem to me, i really love that phone.
But... I want to know if the sound in Z1 is louder or loud as XS, cuz maybe i'll buy one...
ps: I create this thread here because you guys know very well the XS, and some have tried Z1 too.
Thanks!
Maybe your headphones are weak. Since the original didn't work with my phone I got from LG Optimus L5 original headphones and it's amazing! It's really loud. I'm using the latest stock ROM with xLoud enabled.
Try out with different headphones.
Cheers!
Remember that Xperia Z1 is entirely sealed due to its waterproof capability, so I heard somewhere its sound is a bit lower, but still in good quality!

Xs sound are low When compared with outher phones, if i plug the same headphone on Motorola droid razr (of my brother), and Iphone5(from friend)
Both Razr and Iphone get a louder sound on headphone.
I love the sound of XS because it got a fu*king tasty sound equalizer, you can see XS Never drive an Annoying sound to you ear.
But are a little bit low.
@Lucianofca
It applies only to the speaker, not to headphones, thx.
