K850 sounds better than audio chipped N81!!!

[dreamcatcher]

Test (Frequency response) Noise level Dynamic range THD IMD + Noise Stereo crosstalk

Apple iPod +0.41, -1.16 -91.6 91.8 0.0043 0.015 -83.6
Samsung i550 +0.74, -0.76 -90.8 86.9 0.0024 0.033 -89.1
Sony Eric K850 +0.21, -1.04 -85.7 88.8 0.014 0.030 -84.8
Nokia N81 +0.39, -1.13 -86.6 95.8 0.041 0.040 -69.9


frequency response..lower the better
noise level-higher the better
dynamic range-higher the better
thd..lower the better
imd+noise-lower the better
steroe rosstalk-higher the better

to all those guys who had any doubt about SE's audio capabilities..a non walkman phone like the k850 beats the n81, which supposedly has an audio chip..so guys...SE RULEZZZ...and gsmarena has proved it..

According to what you post...we are supposed to believe that all these so-called "music/camera phones" sound better than a dedicated Apple iPod? Anyone who has listened to an iPod even for a minute will call that insane...simply insane...

These figures seem to be either absolute crap or way skewed in some direction...

[choicefreedom2000]

i have used n81 for sometime and i think the sound quality of this phone is awesome
and also get 2-3 times my friend k850i
i don't think k850i has not better sound than n81.
n81 is the best phone for music from nokia and k850i is cybetshot phone
so you want to say that se's k series is better for music than nokia's music phones

wel thats poof..according to gsmarena....and dude..the ipood doesnt sound as good as some of u thinks it does....the cowons and the creatives are miles better...

@choice-i dint say that..GSMARENA did..so long..

[dtox]

the tests are all legitimate and carried out professionally.. try this page if u don't believe..

and the comparision made which was pointed out by amd64_man is here.. its done with spectrum graphs and everything.. just scroll down a bit..

Yeah......SE rulez......

[dheeraj_kumar]

Hehe yeah, even a 6000 bucks modded K750 sounds better than a 26000 bucks N series phone Especially with stereo speakers and the equalizer patch

...dude...have you ever owned anything called as a dedicated MP3 player? and btw i am not talking about those cheap cheeni maal people are picking from road side shops these days.

As I earlier said that either these tests are skewed in some way or the setup is completely wrong...no mobile phone can beat iPods at playing music...even thinking something like this is insane (forget about believing it). As far as the proof by gsmarena is concerned...well you take heart in those tests while I listen to my crappy sounding iPod

[dreamcatcher]

^^^^LOL..i have had an ipod for 4 years now..please dont teach me as to how an ipod sounds...its now stored classily in a drawer..dunno where..and i have no intention o carrying that bulk whereever i go..just for the sake of listening to "better" quality music..and ipod doesnt mean chinese maal..manufactured by apple..if u dint get me..

i have used the creative zen too...and its way better..but i prefer my K850...

I pity u my friend.It seems u r the one who doesnt have a good ear for music.Have u really listened to music on a n-81 or w950?.With which earphonse did u test? not the higher end ones i assume(shure,bose,sennheisser pricier ones).But,have heard with sennheisser base models,the response seems better on i-pod,sm1 pls confirm.
In pmps,its the cowons,i-river's,zen's,sony awz's that rule the roost in terms of audio quality.I wonder whether these music phones would beat any of these.

@choicefreedom2000,
It is only the k-850 which has the audio quality to compete with n-81(debatable whether it beats it)amongst the k-series phones.Its because it was meant as a flagship model for SE at that time.So it has most of the features of the walkman series too such as the Megabass.So w-960 wont have any major difference in audio quality over the k-850.

[dtox]

the best thing bout SE is that u can put custom acoustics.. i m sure it sounds better than the pod after putting them.. but then again.. this is to my ears..

[dOm1naTOr]

i once used My EP 630 with W950, nd to my surprise it was just awesome.
Apple is gud for its style nd feel,but surelly some of the best SE beats it if we use bundled earphones for ipods.

[praka123]

well,no more new models coming in K-series of SE

[dheeraj_kumar]

^^ praka, if you need any help with modding your W810, pm me your yahoo/gtalk/msn id.

I'm into sony ericsson for life! fanboyism or not, you should agree that it provides excellent music quality. Comparing an iPod to a Sony Ericsson would be like comparing a sofa bed and a cot. A cot provides exclusive sleeping arrangement, while a sofa bed provides excellent sofa arrangement and a good sleeping arrangement. Both of them are the #1 of their own fields, no matter how similar they are.

Hey listen how can u compare a high range phone to low budget phone and bytheways there are many nokia mid range phones can easily beat se k750i and i have se k750i , sound is crap , it sounds very loud but very irritating and nt clear and u talking abt comparing se k850i to n82 , as u knw n91 is the best sound phone and in all comparisons nokia is ahead , built quality , signal strength,music quality and camera quality . Nokia leads. Sony only for style not for quality , nokia is best for quality and for all se fans ipod is best in sound and if need best quality why dnt take good headphones.
