Let me correct my initial claim of Z3 is not loud. What I meant was the audio jack output volume is not loud. I connect it to my earphones, at max setting, the loudness is significantly lower than what I can achieve with my old Iphone 4. Not that I like to blast music out loud. But usually when I connect my Iphone 4 to my car audio, I need to max out the volume of Iphone 4 in order to be able to hear the sound clearly (especially for movies with conversation), due to the road noise and in car cabin noise factored in. With the Z3, the max setting is just not enough. I can barely hear anything from my car audio. With my Iphone, my car audio volume usually need to set to around 8 or up to 15 (sometimes some video files audio is simply too soft), with Z3, even when i set my car audio up to 20, I still can only hear conversation spoken in hush tones.

Quickly go submit your entry at One Utama, today last day submission. They accepted my submission and I bought from Maxis. Got 4 free gifts for purchase of Z3. Adidas sling bag, a small adidas ball, a flip cover and a tempered glass screen protector. The flip cover and screen protector will only receive later this month according to sony. I gave them an address to mail the free gifts to. And of course, a chance to win Sony PS4. How many here took part in the entry? The dealer at the promo booth really sold lots of Z3 and Z3 compact, the restock constantly cause phones are flying off the shelves.

Could it be that your earphones has a different impedance etc that is not suitable with Xperia Z3? I'm not an expert audiophile, but apparently I read that the jack and earphones each has an impedance range, and if not compatible the earphone will struggle to produce higher volume.

Maybe you could try with a few dfferent sets of earphones and see if the problem still remains. Did you try with the stock earphones provided with the Z3?

Definitely it's Z3 earphone jack output not as loud compared to other phones. I used the same earphone (xiaomi tube) in my iphone, same song, max setting, then immediately plug the earphone to Z3, same song, max settings, can hear the significant difference. In Iphone 4 it's slightly bursting my ear drums, in Z3 it's just loud.

It is quite hard to find accessories for Z3 yet, even in taobao. It is still quite expensive compare to older products and limited choices.

I already ordered 2 sets casing and temper glasses from china ^^
Need about 4-5 working days to reach if lucky.
After get the casing and glass, then go to buy phone.

Hi guys, reporting in here.  Got myself a Z3 black from maxis by signing up the plan and got the smart watch 2.  I kinda feel the watch is a gimmick.  It can only act as a notification center.  I can't answer the call and talk to the watch, as the watch I dont think has speakers nor mic.  But anyways, since I got the phone for some slight discount from maxis so yeah.  Battery life of the phone, well, so far I am not impressed.  Dont think it can last more than 1 full day.  Basically have to charge like after 16 hours of usage I would say, still not bad.  However, I notice the volume is very low, any way to boost the volume up?

Hi, which Maxis center did you sign up at?

Also I am a Digi user, want to buy this Z3 from Maxis (and getting a new Maxis number). First time getting a smartphone and data plan, anything I should know?

have you tried playing with the music setting? i was unhappy at first then i tried....

1. when i use the phone speaker, i turn ON the ClearAudio+ music become super power, my iphone5s cannot fight
2. using my headphone, i need to switch the clear audio off, as using it makes sound bit slower dunno why. then i go setting > audio quality > sound effect treble boost > Headphone setting > DSEE HX turn ON > Surround Sound make club/concert setting = SUPER POWER

on the other side of note**

just watched the movie "Equalizer" everyone is wearing a sony phone.. dunno which model though, but at watching the movie, i has small pride owning a Z3

Equalizer is under Sony Pictures, or heavily promoted by Sony. Even The Xperia lounge app promoting the Equalizer trailer, so it's no surprise they do product placement there.

They probably filmed the movie much earlier, like a year ago.

Anyway, the VAIO laptops are still being sold in some countries (to clear stock, I guess).
