How to use Music Pro

What the pros think of Music Pro

Superior hardware

Recent improvements to the hardware in Xperia devices have significantly enhanced the overall sound quality, whether you’re listening through the built-in speakers or your favourite set of headphones.

Listen through headphones

Now a familiar feature on Xperia smartphones, the 3.5mm audio jack lets you enjoy the authentic sound of High-Resolution Audio using wired headphones.5 And you can enjoy an exceptional listening experience wirelessly too, thanks to High-Resolution Audio Wireless and LDAC.5

Optimised circuit layout for exceptional sound quality

On the Xperia 1 IV, we've positioned the audio jack and DAC / Amplifier closer together than on the previous model. This shortens and strengthens the audio signal path and ground path, enabling the Xperia 1 IV to realise greater clarity and deeper low frequencies when listening via the audio jack.

Listen through the built-in speakers

The Full-stage stereo speakers built into the front of Xperia6 are designed both to increase sound pressure and eliminate vibration. Sound loudness is enhanced by around 40 per cent7 and clarity has also been improved.

Artist reactions – listen with Xperia

Who better to judge music playback on Xperia than the recording artists themselves? We asked a few to share their thoughts.

Created in collaboration with Sony Music Entertainment

To deliver sound as the artist intended, we brought in Mark Wilder, sound mastering engineer at Sony Music Entertainment’s Battery Studios, to tune and review Xperia speaker and headphone quality.
