Hello

I am VERY dissapointet on Xperia Z2 when it comes to recording video on a live concert.

The video is fine but the sound gets distorted from the bass.

When the music is without bass its fairly fine but as soon as the bass sound comes in the recording is getting useless because of the distortion.

Other phones like iPhone, Samsung and HTC has NO PROBLEM with their sound on live concerts recording so WHY is SONY having this problem ?

The phone is completely useless as a recorder at concerts. I can only take pictures. I did not expect this from a phone that has full scores on reviews and tests and is among the most expensive ones on the marked.

Anyone know why this is so or if this will be fixed in anyway ?

Or I just have to ditch this phone and by iPhone 6 when it's released.

Yes the mic used when recording videos and audio is terrible. Sony purposely made the mic like this so they could sell you this http://www.sonymobile.com/microphone-stm10

I purchased the stm10 exactly because of this reason, any bass whatsover and the video is rendered totally useless. The bad news is the stm10 makes absolutely no difference so dont waste your money.

This coupled with the camera overheating issues and non existent Sony customer support makes this phone in my opinion totally **bleep**e, my advise is sell it now like i had to and cut your losses while it still has some resale value.

I found that using the noise cancelling earphones as an stm10 helps a lot to improve the sound quality.

I agree, The sound on video recording is totally appaling. I have owned several other smartphones and have not had such poor quality audio. The picture quality is great but the audio is atrocious
