xperia 5ii

Hi. Upgraded from an xz3. Whats happened to the audio options? Intelligent wind filter? No equalizer. The sound on the 5 is very poor compared to the 3.. Headphones in particular.No picture album and there's an over reliance of having to use google apps. Flagship handset? Probably going back.

hello @Mgm2010 

 

in every upgrade of software of sony, they would usually remove settings that might not be used alot by majority of users. however. some of the features is improved for the better. If you use headphones with your device you can use the Headphones app from sony to fine tune your sound experience including the equalizer.

@HIFIveforlive Bose has got its own app for managing their Bluetooth products, perhaps you can find some settings to tune the sound to your liking there? https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.bose.monet
