Sony Playstation Phone App

This is a (nearly) perfect phone for me because it has 3 things: 1) 3.5mm Headphone jack 2) 16mm, 24mm, and 60mm (12MP) equivalent lenses (w/ high-end Sony quality video and camera app! RAW, 4K, Advanced DSLR-like features, etc.) 3) USB-C (USB 3.1) with support for workstation docking (keyboard/video/mouse) Other niceties include: - Wireless Qi charging - IP56/IP68 dust/water resistance - Bright and colorful OLED screen - 120hz screen refresh rate (buttery smooth!) - Snapdragon 8 Gen1 SoC (8 cores) w/ 8GB RAM and 128GB internal storage - 2 nanoSIM slots and 1 microSD card slot (supports upto 1TB) - Snappy biometric (fingerprint) unlock - 5G phone network (with 4G/LTE, 3G, and 2G) - WiFi6E network support (yes, it does the new 6Ghz band, too!) - 5000 mAh battery! - Dedicated shutter release button (with half-press focus lock, like a camera!) - WiFi texting via the standard Google Messages app, but... Unfortunately, there are 2 things about it that I was disappointed to discover: 1) No WiFi calling. From what I've read on the Internet, this is actually the fault of the carrier (Verizon, T-Mobile, et al.), but Sony seems to get the blame. It's not a deal breaker for me, but for some folks who make a lot of phone calls and don't have good cell tower coverage, this could really make life tough. 2) Thermal management really is mediocre. Or rather, this phone does get warm from time to time. While I don't play games on my phone, I have noticed that using the video recording and the phone app extensively will get this phone rather warm. Otherwise, it is a normal temperature.

I have a Sony alpha 7 series camera. In theory, it's possible to connect it to a smart phone using a built-in app, but in my experience, Sony's app is somewhere between cumbersome and impossible to set up. The Vello sets up very quickly -- plug it to into your camera's micro-USB, set the USB on the camera per the Vello instructions, go to Settings on your phone, and sign into the Vello's wifi signal. Apart from setting your camera's USB port, you don't have to screw around with the camera's menu at all, and the Vello gives you a full range of controls. The new CamRange2 will work with Sony and many others, but it's much more expensive. I don't think this unit is as robust as CamRangers, and it took a long time to charge the li-ion battery the first time, but it does what it promises. There are Vello apps that let you use Apple & Android smart phones/tablets and both Windows and Mac. (I use a Mac, and it's a 64-bit app, so it's compatible with OS Catalina.)

use mostly for movies, TV shows & playstation games, great surround sound. Music listening is also superb easy to setup the Sonos app of the newer version is not as refined as previous version. only stream in normal mode for Tidal Dolby Atmos tracks app can't add Apple Music service other than that, everything is great!

My Sony Bravia is the best, and my PlayStation. The best gaming system with best television how can you go wrong.

Had for several months like being able to use app on phone

works great, looks great. having the phone app is convenient.

I connect these headphones into a Sony Playstation Vita and listen to songs using the Sony Music Unlimited application. This gives me adequate emphasis of bass to help me determine the notes which are sometimes difficult to hear and decipher. When wanting to play along to the music simultaneously using either guitar or bass, I simply plug MDR-7506 through the headphone port on subwoofer/amp combo or DI box. The Playstation Vita is then connected to auxillary port using appropriate auxillary cable. I then have the option of muting the output to the internal speaker depending on whether or not I want my neighbors to hear. MDR-7506 also come with a pouch to carry headphones and cable in. The earpads are soft which make extended listening appropriate. Though, I am fearful these pads may breakdown or tear at a faster rate or higher percentage. This is ok since the earpads themselves can be replaced without buying a complete new product. Another concern is the thin wire connection run independently to the left and right speakers. They could become caught within the sliding adjustment piece that is used to accomodate different head sizes. No worry just something to be aware and cautious of in advance. Overall, the sound is excellent with great clarity and bass. The price was just right for my budget. I wanted to splurge and spend more on this component of my system. However, after testing several other higher priced models, I simply could not justify passing up the quality this unit provided. Legitimacy confirmed!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Received these not too long ago, set them up to the Sony PlayStation 4 and let me tell ya, the sound quality on these bad boys are top notch.

Sounds great on the PlayStation 4!!

I love the phone app with the ability to control my ecobee from my phone.
