You tried to use the equalizer as an excuse to make up for a lacking. But most others have an equalizer and many with dobly to boot.

However it can only do so much. And I personally wouldn't say that speakers are tuned with everything at zero. I feel like they are tweaked a certain way with most devices

Seems to me you are not even responding for the sake of tech debate, but just for sake of unnecessary arguing.

Equilisers do matter quite a lot, are application of sound drivers, for enhancing sound qualities and volume to ones liking. What sound you get out of the box is just another preset of equilised sound range for lows, mids and highs, set as 0.

Quite the opposite. 700 comments about DxOMark scores and lab results, while claiming that the difference cannot been seen or heard without proper lab equipment. Do you even understand what am i trying to say?

Dont feel the base much... moreIf the drivers are not capable of delivering sufficient amount of bass in the first place, then there's not much Equaliser can do about it. I have two phones with Dolby Atmos equalisers so I know how effective they can be and their limitations. My P30's speaker sounds thumpier and more balanced with Dolby set to "Film" mode, but it still doesn't match the clarity and deeper bass of my S10.

I heard one store in Germany have sent emails to costumers the demand is high and they are in trouble to deliver the products.

Alex, 04 Jun 2020See, that's the main problem today. You're waiting for someone to test it and tell you what to... moreThat is the problem, but its always been like that, since the age of online reviews.
But yes, some online seen numbers wont ever equal the real life experience.
Those Sony headsets in the bundle, are praised as one of the best wireless ones, but most certainly are not the most loudest or maybe not even the best by measured numbers, as they have noise cancelling. But seems from reviews, the actuall experience using them, is top.
When Im buying a TV, I dont go searching for random numbers on internet, I go to the store and carefully watch the quality difference, and then I buy what I actually liked seeing first hand. Of course the pricepoint and type of screen are considered. I d myself would never buy OLED TV.
Problem with Xperias is... you cant even go and check them out in most stores anymore.
So about the screen or sound, we can mostly rely on YT compares, but have to be careful in digesting those. For sound, tester should use at least a stereo microphone set in front, for screen, a dark room surrounding and an out in the sun scenario.
Unfortunately, there is no good method yet to experience real headphone quality over internet, or screen higher hz performance. That certainly has to be done in real life scenario.

So all of you constantly repeating that is getting us nowhere. The issue is not whether it is good or not. The issue is you Sony knights trying to proclaim is audio as superior to the rest. And claiming there are many places proving this. When in fact is not and there are not.

Alex, 04 Jun 2020I DO NOT believe that you're checking the camera, screen, speaker(s), etc. with your own eyes ... moreYou are beyond missing the point.
The point is you cannot physically test something like the exact claim of the display brightness nits or speaker decibel level. Or Sony's claim of 20db crosstalk. Not without proper objective tests and equipment.
You can tell if a display is nice and vibrant or bright. If it works well in the sun.
But you can't verify it actually reaches its advertised brightness nits of 600, 800, or whatever unless you have lab equipment to test it.
And you can tell whether the colors are very vibrant or accurate. But 95% of people couldn't tell if the accuracy is actually hitting an advertised mark unless they used lab equipment to get scientific measurements.
You listen to speakers and hear if they live up to a certain quality.
But you can't measure if they reach a certain specific decibel or if the crosstalk was really reduced to a certain amount unless you have lab test equipment for it.
Why do you think gsmarena and other places have these lab tests for???

Cause we aint getting any more detailed audio reviews on Arena anymore obviously.
