Sent from my T-mo Note 3[/QUOTE]

Thanks guys! I guess the question is, what functionality built into our Z3's do we lose when using non-Sony headsets and does it make it worth it to purchase one of the headsets listed within the device? The other question, is why are only those Sony headsets listed (see attached)? They make many other ones, some being highly rated!
[Xperia Z3 Accessories] abhinav.tella:
HTC used to do the same during the Beats era, it justs sets an equalizer tuned to those Sony headsets, if I am correct.
[Xperia Z3 Accessories] PePPiZCH:
When I want in-ears, I use Beyerdynamic MMX102IE. They work very well with the Z3 - great sound quality, bass and volume. If I'm going to listen to a podcast or something similar in a noisy environment, I'll use the MDR-NC31EM for the noise cancellation. The latter are good, especially for the price, but they are not as good as the Beyerdynamics for music.

I also use the Beyerdynamic Custom One Pros. They sound awesome, but sometimes I would like more volume from them. I do have a Fiio E6 that I can use them with if I really want to, but it would be nice to get some more power out of the phone. The sound quality is excellent.

[Xperia Z3 Accessories] ShermCraig:
So, based on your comments, I wet out and bought a pair of the SoundTrue Samsung Galaxy version. The middle button only increases volume or if I triple-click, it will skip to next song (while boosting volume 3 clicks). :crying: Not sure why it words for you and not for me - are you using the D6616 version? I cannot imagine this makes a difference, but maybe?

Thanks.
[Xperia Z3 Accessories] mingkee:
I tested it at T-Mobile store.
[Xperia Z3 Accessories] ShermCraig:
Either I have a faulty device or there is something else going on because the middle button on it only increases volume.
[Xperia Z3 Accessories] mingkee:
I tested again and found the problem you mentioned.

Sony should address this problem because Galaxy headest works 100% with Z2 and Z1s, and Z Ultra.

For my commute time on the train...I just went with the Sony MDR-NC31EM.

Works perfect with the Z3's NC and Hi-Rez functions...the only negative is that it doesn't have any external pause/play/skip/volume remote function built in.

Error with 3-button control on Bose SoundTrue Galaxy Version

Hi,

I am in the same situation as you. I went out and bought the galaxy version of the soundtrue, hoping that you were an exception and that the other guy was correct. It did however not work for me either:(

I have tried using third party apps like headset button control and such, but the apps do not seem to recognize the signal from the headset buttons.

It seems like there is a native application which is receiving the signals, not letting the "thirdparty headset button apps" do its job. I have tried deactivating all applications such as Smart Connect, walkman and google play music in case they were blocking the signal, but no success with that either.

Is there any place where an issue like this could be flagged to Sony?

I have the Z3 Compact. Before I had the Z1, and the third party apps were able to recognize the signal there.

Please let me know where issues like this could be posted, and I will at least do my best to see if I can get a solution.

Hope to hear from you or someone else soon (with a solution maybe??).

Best Regards,

Nils

I just bought the V-Moda Crossfade M80 Headphones from Amazon on discount for $90, its there till Feb 1st. They are absolutely awesome audio clarity is excellent and not to mention they very durable and can take abuse. Also has excellent reviews for audio quality, only downside is low noise isolation.

Any one looking for new headphones should looking into these as well.

[Xperia Z3 Accessories] TordFuglstad:
I have different setups.

When I need to be portable I have a pair of aJays One (soon to be changed with ATH-IM70) running through a Fiio E6 amp.

When I want good sound and don't need to be so portable, I have my ATH-M50x run through the Fiio E07k DAC/Amp!

Before the summer I am looking to invest in a noise cancelling headset, probably will be the ATH-ANC7b. :good:
[Xperia Z3 Accessories] abhinav.tella:
Is an AMP really going to be useful just those low impedance earbuds? Just asking as I not that knowledgeable but others I have talked to said it probably not going make any difference, with those kind of earbuds. For the headphones I get that an AMP will be useful though.
[Xperia Z3 Accessories] TordFuglstad:
Well, an amp is there to drive the headphones if they are not easy driven and to boost volume. They can also alter the soundstage a little bit, the Fiio E6 has some nice settings EQ wise which are nice to have and it can also give more volume. I fell like the aJays sounds better with the Amp than not.

The aJays certainly doesn't need an amp to get good sound, but that doesn't there won't be some nice effects from it. The fact that it's also supercheap, coming in at only $28 is a good reason to have it in your kit.
[Xperia Z3 Accessories] wired335:
For listening around the home I use my Blue Mo-Fi headphones which have their own built in amplifier. Still trying to find a good on-the-go set though...

Using AKG K3003 with AK10 dac+amp. Overall sound quality is perfect!
[Xperia Z3 Accessories] ShermCraig:
For $1,000, the sound quality better be perfect! Holy moly! :rolleyes:
[Xperia Z3 Accessories] abhinav.tella:
As the review at What HI-FI said:The vast majority of portables aren’t good enough to do the AKGs justice.

That includes the Z3, probably the closest potable good enough is the M8, but those probably need a high end soundcard on a desktop or something to get full potential.
[Xperia Z3 Accessories] Thraxzzz:
K3003 has low ohms of 8. I don't even need to set my volume to full. 3/4 is already ear-piercing for me ? ak10 is just there for the sake of dac
[Xperia Z3 Accessories] abhinav.tella:
Wow.:eek:
[Xperia Z3 Accessories] wired335:
Holy crap, sorry I missed this question.

I really enjoy them, like A LOT. Compared to the competition is tricky because to be honest I never compared them against any other headset in the price point. I saw the announcement, followed it, pre-ordered when available, and bought them. I'm a huge fan of Blue Microphones as I was a musician (recently made the transition from musician/photographer/husband to husband/dad/photographer) so I knew they would be awesome and not skimp on quality.

Compared to other headsets I own they are hands down the best and most comfortable for long periods (wore upto 5 hours). Sound is balanced and very full. Sound isolation is too good (I've often been slapped silly because the kid is crying and I'm watching a movie on my laptop and not hearing anything else, so I'm not getting up when its my turn). The + mode doesn't give a stereotypical bass boost but an even low end response boost. It's bloody amazing.

Other headsets I own are the Monster Inspiration, AKG K121, some older Senhiesers, and older JVC's. The next best is the K121 for audio reproduction, and for passive listening the K121 are preferred, but they are very uncomfortable to me after only 30 minutes of listening. The Inspiration are the next best for sound isolation, but still have quite a bit of leak. The bass is the only nice part of the Inspiration series. The Sen's and JVC's are both crud. The Sen's are also $29 models, the JVC's cost me $100 or so.

I really want Blue to do an in-ear/bud model now for when I'm exercising.

The XBA-Z5 in ear set by Sony is brilliant with the Z3, especially

when used with the Walkman ( now Music ) app while listening to

WAV format hi res audio files.

I highly recommend this set if you need something portable.

While the less pricey A3 set is just fine, the Z5 set is made in Japan

and has a certain up in quality to the sound which for me at least made it

worth the bump in retail cost.

The larger Sony MDR-1ADAC headphones are also great with Z3 but a bit large for running etc.

So I just updated my phone to the 4.4.4 firmware and was playing around with the camera. I noticed there are a couple new metering modes, Face and Multi.

Can anyone inform me what these modes are? And what metering mode do you use the most?
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Envious_Data:
metering modes is sort of where it checks

lets say your metering is on spot, it would check the centre of the picture for light levels

face, it would detect a face and it would adjust and folow the face

do i need to explain more at all or do you understand now?

[Moto X Q&A] PsychoKilla666:
I am using a Moto X 2013 Dev Edition on T-Mobile, this particular unit I got from Moto Care after my initial one broke. It feels like it gets much worse battery life than the first. I did not unlock or root this one yet. I'm on the latest update with pretty good LTE/4G coverage and the phone completely discharges from full to 5% in less than 4.5 hours while only browsing! It then recharges from 5% to 87% in less than 1.5 hours, this seems unusually fast and led me to believe that the battery is faulty. What do you think?
[Moto X Q&A] vitoski:
Check what is using battery the most. You can check it in battery settings. Moreover I would encourage you to install one of the apps like Better Battery Stats (you need root) or Gsam Battery Monitor to see which app prevents your phone from going to sleep.

That's your issue. ?

Yes I know it was, I was browsing for 4.5 hours XD

But I feel that's a short time for the phone to completely discharge.

I felt like my first Moto X retail unit did much better, maybe this one is refurbished and the battery is worn already?

Thoughts?

Have you tried to fully discharge and recharge it while turned off?

I did this and now my Battery is nice again! About 24 hours with about 3 hours SOT! Wifi + Location always on, 1 hour of recording (so not Deep sleep), 4G and a little Spotify streaming via Network!

ahhh and i deinstalled Switch Widget Pro and some other Apps because they kept my X from sleeping! :good:

On uk EE Although signal strength is reduced data transfer is still ok with 4g. On O2 however even with 4 bars i get zero data transfer. Have a Z3 tablet also on O2 that works perfectly on 4g.

I'm looking for a case to hold my credit cards and cash. The typical leather fold-over style is overused and unappealing to me. I'm looking for something sexy and sleek. Requirements are it needs to be able to hold at minimum 4 cards. I've spent days looking at cases, so the ones from Samsung, Spigen, etc. are not what I'm looking for. I found a few cool things on Etsy, however, they were more of phone holders (required the phone to be slipped out of the case).
