[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] RockStar2005:
Has anyone reading this ever compared the HTC 10 to either the Sony Xperia X Performance (XP) or the newer Xperia XZ with regards to headphone quality? (Note: The XP & XZ use the SAME audio technology from what I've read/heard).

If so, please tell me about your experience here. Please provide as many details as possible............like what headphones did you use, what genre of music and type of quality (mp3, CD-Quality, Hi-Res, DSD, etc) was selected. Did you use an amp/DAC device in between them (I'm hoping not only b/c that wouldn't tell me which phone was better lol)? When comparing, which one sounded clearer? Had the wider/more expansive soundstage? Handled instrument separation the best? Won out on bass, mids, and highs/treble rendering?? Etc.

I know the 10 will get louder than the XP/XZ b/c of what I've seen in comparisons done by professional reviewers, with the 10 showing to have a higher output voltage. But volume is just ONE component.

I look forward to hearing from you all!

Have not tried the HTC but I use Devon audiophile headphones and sennheiser in ears... Which are the ones in the high end.

The sound is good compared to my old z3 and Samsung s5.

Clean and well balanced sound with nice punch
[Sony Xperia X Performance Questions & Answers] RockStar2005:
Hey Hell,

Wait, which phone are you talking about? You said sound is good compared to Z3 and S5. Sound of what? lol

I really just want people to tell me if they've compared the 2 together, or at least within the same month or so. It seems like HTC 10's audio may be the better of two, but not sure. The 10 seems to get more praise on headphone audio than the XP or XZ do, but I'd like "regular people's" opinions too.
[Sony Xperia X Performance Questions & Answers] HellRoot:
Hey RockStar

I have the xp and the sound quality is fine. I don't know whether the HTC can play dsd but the xp does it very well.

I just made a comparison from which phones I have tried, as I dont have the HTC ?
[Sony Xperia X Performance Questions & Answers] RockStar2005:
Hey HellRoot,

I have it too and agree, though I really haven't tested it on headphones just on car speakers. On headphones I use a premium & portable in-between amp/DAC device. The Z3 has very good sound but I would say it was at the $200 level vs. amp/DAC or players at that price. When I went up to $300 with the Sony Walkman A17, I felt it was superior to the Z3's sound. So now I don't use the phone anymore on headphones, but these newer phones by LG like the V10 and V20 and also the HTC 10 are getting a high level of praise for their headphone sound quality that I've not seen given to Sony's Xperia phones ever. It just makes me wonder. I'm pretty sure the HTC 10 could match my Oppo device (see link) based on what I've read about it on here. One guy even said he liked it more than the might LG V10's sound overall, and that uses the same DAC as my HA-2 (that link is for HA-2SE, which is slighly newer, but looks the same). Of course, it's not JUST about the DAC, but still. lol

Also, the battery life on the new X series Xperia phones no longer can offer a 2-day battery life, which was standard in the past. IMHO, the 2-day battery life DIED with the Z series. Even on the Sony Mobile site the 2-day battery life selling point has mysteriously vanished from the site on those new phones like our XP. My XP can BARELY make it through one day if I start early enough, and that's WITH Stamina Mode being activated. I'm happy that the camera's improved though, but the cutbacks in battery life & audio quality (having a dedicated DAC with questionable quality and an integrated amp vs. HTC 10's dedicated DAC AND dedicated headphone amp ((dedicated is always better than integrated))) makes me question my purchase a bit. There are still pros to the XP vs. 10, like camera and waterproofing, but HTC has caught up A LOT with the 10 and so I wonder if the 11 will finally make them kings again?

It's the little things too. HTC took the time and cared enough about their customers to get VoLTE (including HD Voice) and Wi-Fi Calling certified with T-Mobile, who is my carrier, on their unlocked phones. Did Sony Mobile bother to do that? Hell no! lol

Battery life is a big deal to me, so where 2 years ago I chose the Z3 over my former One M8, I wonder if in 2017 I may very well go back to HTC? We will see. lol If HTC takes their front fingerprint sensor and integrates it INTO the side Power button the way Sony did, and brings their bottom stereo speaker back to the bottom front where it belongs, that choice will be even MORE difficult to make.
[Sony Xperia X Performance Questions & Answers] kekePower_:
Howdy.

I have the XP and the M9 and I miss the volume of the M9 compared to the XP. I mainly listen to music from my phone when I'm in the car, streaming from DI.fm@128kbs. On the M9 I usually had the volume on the stereo set to 30-35 for LOUD, but on the XP, I'm up to 40 to get the basic kick. I can still hear myself talk and that tells me that the volume is too low.

I'm seriously thinking of getting the HTC 10 as there are numerous issues with my XP, as can be seen on different threads here on XDA and on the Sony forums as well. I'm not happy with this phone and I miss HTC ;)

Cheers.

[Sony Xperia X Performance Questions & Answers] RockStar2005:
Hi keke,

Thanks for posting your opinion. Even though your post was on the M9 and not the 10, I still agree that based on what I'd read, the HTC flagship phones have been and still do get louder than the Xperia phones can. For me it's a concern on headphones b/c I don't want it DEAFENINGLY loud, but loud enough when I need it. So I feel ya there.

Well even though it's off-topic, what are the issues you're having with the XP? Lemme know.

Perhaps then you should just get the HTC 10? It is currently on sale for $150 off if you buy it from the HTC.com site by Monday 8:59PM PST. 3 out of the 4 colors are available to buy now; the 4th being Topaz Gold, but since the Camellia Red was not in stock either until today, there's a chance they may get more before the sale ends. But if you wanted a different color, then there's nothing stopping you. (Note: Red and Gold are only available if you buy the unlocked version, which IS certified for VoLTE ((including HD Voice) and Wi-Fi Calling with T-Mobile, which is my carrier. I'd only get the unlocked one because it offers faster updates than the carrier ones will.) You can buy it and pay it off at checkout, or click on "PayPal Credit" in checkout to get 6 mos to pay it off interest-free (after quick credit check). Buying it from the site gets you that 1-year Uh-Oh Protection too. After that if you wanna keep it longer, look into private phone insurance like I got for my int'l XP through either Square Trade or the one I chose, Worth Ave. Group.

Hi

I've compared xp to x and z3 and really xp has the best source hardware I've ever heard from phone - I'm a little bit na audiophile and I have few mobile and home DAC/amp's. So the xp has almost identical sound characteristic compared to HEGEL SUPER (with in-ear headphones you cannot hear any differences)

-tested with hifiman songbird, sennheiser momentum iem, apple iem, and many other $100 pricetag iems

---------- Post added at 04:44 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:29 PM ----------

hey dude

sorry for offtopic

but I'm so not happy with xp hardware and software :

horrible soft: strange bahavior of ear distance sensor, rotate sensor and some few other issues

hardware: vibration engine is very loud (when vibrate mode is on its so loud that it cannot be discrete) and ****ty back panel painting/cating - I'm carying mine xp in oryginal sony "invisible back cover" and when something get beside phone and cover - it makes white-ish marks

AND little dot/tints on display (not very big but they are there!!!)

I'm feel cheeted by sony paying full price in sony centre for xp when they lounching 3 months later XZ model cheeper with on-ear headphones

shame for sony - I had all flagships since xperia S and I'm so so close to leave sony!!!
[Sony Xperia X Performance Questions & Answers] HellRoot:
I very much agree on this.

The xz was a better buy, they did not behave like gentlemen with this phone

The tiny dots..they are in all pixels? As I have that... But no other have confirmed this...

hey Rockstar2005

You mentioned wifi signal weakness - goddamn ****ty performance of it, and hell yeah it's worst ever wifi module they implemented in xperia phone ever. Does't reconnect propertly or does it occasionaly. We can just talking and sony won't do anything with it. Overall xperias always been 90% best in everything for sure (body, photo, audio, and performance) - balanced 90% perfection of everything - but wait a moment ...sony goes terrible way by loosing Z series - every aspects should be a step forward but something went wrong and we have pretty phone without even middle-end functionality. Even huawei makes in my country huge expansion by giving good phones and excellent service / customer care. And sony just pissing on us (buy our **** and leave us alone ...but but wait come back and buy this **** again) I'm confused for waiting 2 weeks for ****ty reputated service opinion. Last one I've sent xperua Z ultra three times until they replaced the motherboard for me. I can bet on it - they will sent me not touched phone with eventualy reloaded rom.

sorry for my english...
[Sony Xperia X Performance Questions & Answers] RockStar2005:
Espe,

That's fine. I was able to understand pretty much everything you said.

Well actually when I mentioned Wi-Fi I said "Wi-Fi Calling". I did not mention any issue with my Wi-Fi, as I'm (fortunately) not having any. Wi-Fi Calling is a feature from T-Mobile where you can make calls using your Wi-Fi signal, which may be stronger than your regular call reception is in whatever area you are in at the time. To have both that and VoLTE (Voice over LTE, which makes calls connect faster and offer stronger call quality and reception I believe) be active when using T-Mobile (which IS my carrier) here in the U.S., the phone maker has to get those certified (which costs money too) with T-Mobile. Sony was UNWILLING to do that, but HTC did do it, and to me, that shows they care more about U.S. customers than Sony Mobile does.

Yeah Sony DEF isn't as competitive as they were before, aside from camera, which is prob the only REAL strong point Sony still has.

That sux that they are giving you the "run around" on the Z Ultra. Maybe you should call and demand to speak to a supervisor or even higher than him/her?? I hope you get that issue resolved soon.

I have my old note 4 for now so im not without a device...

I've been a Samsung user since the Galaxy S 2 (or should I say II? ). I've lost my confidence due to the battery issue... Still they don't seem to know the actual issue, I just can't trust them. On the other hand I always hated how they skinned their phones, their launcher is terrible. And the Android updates always took months. I'm going Pixel and not looking back now. Next year probably we'll have a Pixel 2 with similar specs as the S8 or whatever they'll call it.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] zachchen1996:
Get the Pixel XL used (resale value is probably pretty low), then get the S8 when it releases.

I just returned my note7 and picked up a cheap $200 huawei to use whileni wait for my pixel.

This phone makes remeber why i like unbloated phones. Its way faster interface wise than my note7 was, so snappy.

I considered holding out for an s8 but no way. And unbloated pixel should be way faster than even an s8 with superior cpu/gpu in real life usage.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] DexterMorgan x:
Easy. Get the Pixel now, then get the S8 when it drops. Not enough money? Work more.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] AstroDigital:
Anything from Samsung (if it does not catch fire) is filled with bloat I do not want.

But why wait for the S8 ?

I think you should wait for the Galaxy S9 .... got to be better than S8
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] clockcycle:
Every six months a new device with the new latest things comes out, so if you wait for the S8 in March you might as well wait for the pixel 2 in September october 2017.. and so on..
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] moogaloo:
I was in a similar quandry, quite fancied a 4K screen for VR and the next gen chips from Samsung and Qualcomm look like quite a bump, but yes still 5 months of and will be slowed down by Samsung's Android implementation, lack of updates and gimmicky but less functional edge screen with possiby with top and bottom edge. On top of that the difficulty of taking samsung phones on air planes etc and it was a no brainer. 128GB with photo and video cloud offloading should negate the need for an SD card, if not a simple OTG flash drive will be good enough. So I say go for it, go for the pixel like me, it will stay upto date alot longer then the S8 will and will have proper updates with real features.

I snatched a 128gb black xl. I have to say, I'm pretty smitten with it. It's no Note7, but I'll be damned if it's not better in a lot of ways.

In the meantime, I do love this Pixel.

[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] CZ Eddie:
Note 4 is a good device with good development.

If you like flashing ROM's and playing with Xposed, then stick with the N4 for a while longer.

Just IMO.

There is no Xposed for Nougat at this time.

And development for Pixel is still experiencing growing pains.

Meanwhile, you can do almost whatever you want with a Note 4 provided it's got the unlocked bootloader.

My buddy just gave up his Note 5 to go back to his Note 4.

I would still have my MotoX Pure 2015 if I knew there would be so many development issues with both Nougat *and* the Pixel.

But I do love how fast the Pixel does everything.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] ithehappy:
A person who would like to get something like an S8 or whatever should also look at the V and G series phones from LG, and other heavily modified android skins. Pixel, OnePlus aren't for them.

Ex Note 7 user here. I have always had a much better user experience with the stock android devices (nexus, Moto x) than samsung but I tried the note 7. I loved it but it still was not fluid. I was more in love with the form factor than the operations of the device. After that I tried the OP3 and no way I will ever purchase another one plus device. Is it good for the price? yup. Does it work...nope. Random reboots while using your gps to make an appointment in downtown Boston don't really fly with me. Bought a pixel XL and I'm not looking back. Everything works as it should all the time. Battery is great and camera is too. I have not had any issues just like I had no issues with my previous Nexus devices. I will jump on the next pixel as well. I'm done with "extra features" skinned android and cheaper budget alternatives.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] Logan3824:
I'm so torn on waiting until ****ing end of april for s8 or getting the xl now. I have the note 3 rooted/rom, and I love it, so I would love to be able to root again. On the flipside, the new 835 chip supporting its own VR, 4k screen, along with improvements to camera and whatnot makes this decision very hard.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] M9guy:
Or pixel xl or Htc 11 ? Honestly most say samsung phones lag after a short time, the pixel xl and Htc 11 will both be a lot closer to pure android over samsung. The s8 may come with an 835 but so will the Htc 11 or ocean or whatever they will name it and with samsungs delays the new Htc model may come out within weeks of the s8 and many are predicting that after the Htc 10 that this new Htc phone should be pretty awesome.

The Htc will come with an sd card slot pretty sure and 835 so it trumps the pixel xl by far only thing pixel xl has over the others is the fastest updates so if you want the fastest updates for security and system then go pixel xl I just recommend the 128 gig since no sd card slot so you can have room to store back ups also as 32 is never enough without an sd card where on the Htc model you could do just fine with 32 gb's as you just pop in your 128 gig or more sd card and have plenty of storage.
