Now I remember why I hardly post here (esato) lately.

It's such a bias forum. Most folks here are not open minded.

I have 4 different Sony units and 3 Ipods(all different).

My Sony products sound the crapiest.... Oh well..... If I were biased as I was when I fist joined esato, then I would be saying the same shit most of you are saying.

^^ Biased? we are just plain members and you expect us to say the same thing you think dont you? remember esato members are allowed to spoke what's their opinions i won't call it biased as fas as every personal experience tells

i remember QVGA has said ipod's bass' sound is weak and he has some considerable technical reasons for saying it, while you have said sony sounds "crappiest" which is percieved as a more biased and childish post.

When i last tried an ipod, definetly the sound was good, but only diff i could make out was the loudness. Atlast i wud go for SE because of the over all package that it has to offer, like the in ear headphones. Its a pain after few minutes with ipods headset. Now some wud want me to advice to buy a good headphones. Thats what m talking about the overall pakage.

in other words, you are saying that people who don't agree with you that ipod's are better, despite their own experiences, are being tossed by the wind?

It would seem to me that to go against our own judgement and bow down to your opinion would be the real "letting the wind toss you to and fro"

Get off your own apple bias and you may find just because you say it's so, doesn't mean we are necessarily gonna call you God and bow down to your infinite wisdom.

I'll use my own ears to judge sound quality thank you very much.

I received an iPod touch ten days ago, and I'm very disappointed about how it sounds. It's way too loud, so the sound gets extremely noisy. There's no bass and the treble is awful. Verdict: I'm selling it at the end of this month!

I like my W960's sound quality a whole lot more, and W890 as well.

im happy with my k850 sound. think player 3.0 doing a good job.
the Mega bass sound have been improved after 031, its more smothly bass sound now against the earlier firmware.

im really exciting about w980... it has stereo speakers, new "sound hardware", FM transmitter, etc...... looking good

The only "Sony" product I own is (Sony) Ericsson and am not happy at the way things are going at SE but I have to say that the NWZ-A810 is DEFINITELY BETTER than any Ipod in sound quality. Yes I've tested this!

I'm no Sony fan but where credit is due I will give. The older generation Sony mp3 lagged behind the Ipod but not anymore. In fact Sony has marginally surpassed Apple in that department, kinda like Nokia having surpassed SE.

Just because a lot of people swear by Ipod doesn't mean it still is the best- brand popularity and loyalty do have a place in this world unfortunately.


As for cellphones it's going to take a while before they reach the sound quality level of standalone mp3 players.

Oh, and the Iphone does sound better than any Nokia or SE phone sound quality wise.

W980 doesnt have better hardware for sound. Its the same primitive one used in W810 and pretty much all other SE phones.

Do either of you have any proof? I just think you're brand bashing.

If by proof you mean i dissect two SE phones including a W980, then no i dont and will never have a proof.
I read it on Mobile-Review. Eldar said its the same hardware used in older W phones, and you NEVER EVER question Eldar!
