The Sony sounded good for me too. Personally I think the Z1 was already very listenable at high volume in a store, no excessive tests done. The HTC was total crap, at least in that video. Wouldn't listen to that.Sounds pretty good on the Sony to me. Crisper and not as distorted at high level as on the HTC.

They both sounded horrible listening to it from my Xperia Z ultra

it is clearly in par with the one .. if not sounding better but htc one is also kinda last years device ... so the real test will be against HTC ONE 2 or whatever it is going to be called .
Z2 wins my heart also in speakers out of all phones on the market including m8. it stands strong against m8 - it's even better in some types of music. it's truly amazing what sony did here - the best speakers on the market there with m8 yet it's completely water and dust proof! unheard of! overall, Z2 smashes m8.

yeah. the fact that non waterproof electric device survives water is basically luck. my iphone also survived the toilet. it's like playing with fire. smartphones are too expensive to not care about it.
that was 2-3 inches. it wont matterM8 is actually water resistant in a way it has IPX3 or something like that so basically it can survive water splashes/ rain and in that video 97minutes under the water ? but yes not as much as z2.

Frankly I found the M8's sound clearer in most types of music but the Z2 was not too bad either. Pretty good for a waterproof phone, definitely.
To be very honest I had to think long and hard between these two phones when the M8 was released, but I'm inclined towards Z2 for the following reasons:
- Don't have to put up with Sense and extremely annoying Blinkfeed (wouldn't have been so bad if the latter could have been disabled). On the same note Z2 has a very lean Android skin.
- Arguably better camera on the Z2 along with the dedicated camera button
- Finally a phone that I can use in the rains without worry (it rains pretty heavily here during the monsoons)
- Extra gig of RAM
- (Much) bigger battery
- Built-in noise cancellation which is a novel feature that I'd definitely like to try on flights (I fly a LOT) - My Sennheisers recently stopped working :crying:
