Sony XPeria 1 V: emphatically the best phone for sound I've ever heard
, the Sony Xperia 1 V comes as close to a hi-res player straight out of the box as I've ever seen in a smartphone. And I'm not done with my praise.
Opinion: Sony XPeria 1 V is as close to a dedicated high-res audio player as any phone I've heard, everNot too many hi-res players tote forward-firing stereo speakers with improved amplification for a fuller sound. Nor do they boast a 'Dynamic vibration' slider that pops out when you tweak the volume.

I could go on but, as I mentioned, this is not a full-fat star-rated review. However, if you take nothing else away from this piece and you're a music lover, do yourself a favor: look into the Sony Xperia 1 V. Yes, it is expensive.
