Wired is the only way to get lossless audio. (Except for the Nura (now Denon)pro 2 with QUALCOMM 2 chip)

Nope, not anymore... that's why we do have like wireless Bluetooth ipods, buds and etc. What flagship phones need to put back though, SD card slots and removable batteries ... That we need for sure... ?

but why not all 3 though?

Yes, I pre-ordered the new Sony Xperia just because it is pretty much the only flagship phone that still has one, as well as supporting all of the latest audio formats as well. It's a no brainer purchase if you are an audiophile.

Here if you pre-ordered the new Sony Xperia 1 you will get the Sony WH-1000XM5 for free.

It comes also with a wire :)

Just need to check if there is sound in the PA. O,wait I didnt bring an adapter...

As a hobby sound engineer, it is very practical to have an aux port on my phone.


I understand that it is not necessary for everyone, but I appriciate it.

Therefore, my next phone will probably be either sony xperia 5V or asus zenfone 10.

Definitely missing it. As someone who makes a lot of phone calls, no Bluetooth headset can match the microphone sound quality of wired headphones. Sure, Type C wired headphones exist, but it's convenient to be able to charge the phone while continuing to make calls using wired headphones.

There's no sound quality in phone calls.
