Smithravi, 10 Jul 2020DSEE up-scaling is been on Walkman series for years, probably since 1990's ??? If it does... morebecause of garbage in garbage out. no matter how great the algorithm for the upscaling it's still at the end of the day a compressed files in the first place. imagine an algorithm for picture that have vga resolution in the first place and then upscaling it to 4k. do you really think the result going to be proper?
some people loathe compressed audio files. that's why sony also pushing DSD audio files. do you really think people that bought wm1z going to use that DSEE features? no, they fill that thing with DSD. DSD also have been there for years, they developed that thing for SACD, i'm pretty sure it's way longer than DSEE. kinda funny, DSD just picked up some pace in the industry in recent years
for most people perhaps they are fine with compressed audio files. that's good, all good.no problem with that.but saying thing like a compressed audio files with DSEE going to produce exact quality of non compressed files... not even sony engineers going to shoot themselves like that
Fearghast, 11 Jul 2020TBH you can buch much better headphones for that price thx to brands like Sennheiser, Fostex, ... moreclearly you have no idea what you talking about. sure you can buy better headphone like stax, focal especially for the price. but Fostex, AudioTechnica, Beyern? are you joking?
for investment? i never seen a cheap qualia or r10. maybe you want to google that
and i also never seen a cheap vintage sony headphones. again you should google that to at least have some idea what sony done in the past in their headphone development. because for current market, pretty much almost of all their stuff are crap, they want to reach wider market so can't blame to produce some cheap stuff
Fearghast, 11 Jul 2020hmmmm .... okNo, seriously even the old XZ Premium I have is clearly sharper than QHD models from the competitors. XZ Premium is even smaller in size. It is noticeable.

That is close to real life. For you I even measured using tape the OnePlus and Mi are both 70mm in width while SONY is 65mm(I measured it at 5:37 into the video for reference) in width on my screen which is 4-5mm less than their real life numbers. Lets say you have 24" screen or 27" screen watch it in regular mode and not in Full-Screen and still you can notice the difference and argument here is the seating distance you will be at-least 2-3ft away from screen. While I am having my 15" screen it 1.5-2ft away from me.

There is literaly never a reason to buy Sony headphones because they are never a good investement compared to competetion.
BUT I did not test any vintage Sony headphones, maybe 20-30 years in past, they would blow me away. Right now? Why even bother.

So ofcourse you can see difference clearly ... under 2-3x zoom :D
Smithravi, 10 Jul 2020DSEE up-scaling is been on Walkman series for years, probably since 1990's ??? If it does... moreIt does nothing, it can do nothing.
Why is it there, because you need a PR sticker that brags about you are better than competetion. It does not matter it does not work, you have it - others do not.
If you use or reserch what DSEE does it's really simple and it's pointless - maybe for bassheads that just can't get the kick out of regular V shaped headphones.
For all those who are arguing that there is no noticeable difference between QHD and 4K go check "TehNick" latest video(link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-RVM6UQSN3s ). Even after that you guys think that there is no visible difference then either you guys are stubborn to accept the fact or need to get you eyes tested(not saying in a rude manner but seriously there may be eye problem which you are unaware of).

I don't have a problem putting something like the S20+ in my pocket from a sitting position. Though, that doesn't speak for everyone, and I'd hardly think a company should "go bankrupt" for not offering something you personally want. Preferences aren't objective and the size of a phone shouldn't be a factor in a company's success or failure financially.

You're the first guy who is saying it is useless feature while it is one of the most iconic features of Walkman as well as Sony.
The point of DSEE is to restore the high range sound which are lost during compression process. How is this worse than compressed file itself?? Please enlighten me?? I know someone people might notice the difference and some people might not. It depends on many things, you know like headphones, type of file etc.,. You might also like as it is in compressed file. That's your taste. But it is funny to just randomly call such software a PR gimmicky. Especially when it is in industry for years.

A actually had washed out colours. B is cold because he is using out of the box standard mode. It can be changed to warmer or to creator mode to get perfect colours. Well well well C is poor in everything comparatively.

if you want studio monitor,they also have cd 900ost
problem with sony is they made some of great products and bunch of craps. and unfortunately people bought the crap stuff because it's a lot cheaper

As it was trying to make a point that even Creative, that pushes PR hard to compensate for lack of the quality with B$ PR, even they dropped upscaling nonsense in their ads.
On the other hand Sony, the maker of mediocre sounding headphones and speakers, still failed to realize that people get bored sniffing magic dust after a while.
Seriously nobody is praising Sony when it comes to sound quality they provide, no audiofiles, no one that has more than one pair of headphones in their life etc.
I have Xperia 5, WH-1000XM2, WF-1000MX3, MH1c, MDR-V55 and probably some other inears I even refuse to look for.
BTW: Are you 10yo or Apple fan? You don't own It / use it "argument" is usualy used by this specific group of ... people?

DSEE is Sonys proprietary tech from acclaimed Walkman series, and I also have it on my device, and know exactly what enhancement to sound it provides.
It definitely is not a PR joke, nor any kind of gimmick, and is for people that care for better sound quality but do not want to hassle with large hi res music files on their devices.
If you dont know what it does and call it a joke, you definitely do not own an Xperia device.
The Joke here is your foolish random_internet_guy PR, trying to bash valuable Sony innovations.
