hey what is up guys this is Bailey Stein with Android Authority and this ZTE zaxxon 7 with the Exxon 7zt has implemented dual independent hi-fi audio chips for both listening and recording as well as dual front-facing stereo speakers with Dolby Atmos surround sound technology let's take a closer look at this setup and explore how to take your audio experience to the next level with the axon Santa let's first discuss the AKM ak4 96:1 DSP codec which could be considered the primary chipset for Wi-Fi or do playback and recording AKM states that they a que 496 one offers industry-leading level performance of THD + n- 99 DB and 110 DB dynamic range with the newly developed 32-bit advanced audio deck in capitalist class G headphone amplifier the ZTE axon 7 also includes the AKM aka 4 4 9 0 en DAC or digital to audio converter which is an independent hi-fi audio amplifier this is essentially a downsized variant of the ak4 4 9 0 eq adapted for smartphones and other portable devices with a 1.8 volt digital interface but not to worry as the ak4 4 9 0 en offers the same high-quality audio playback as its bigger brother and with 5 32-bit filters and a symmetrical left/right lay out the aka 4 4 9 0 certainly delivers a premium audio experience both ships include a km's velvet sound technology which aims to offer sound that is both high-quality and true to life with a good pair of headphones the difference can be very noticeable although some other smartphone manufacturers have recently adopted similar technology in their flagship offerings this is likely the highest quality audio chipset configuration that you can acquire for the exon 7 very affordable $400 price tag and that's even before considering the axon 7 dual front-facing stereo speakers with Dolby Atmos surround sound technology a big step forward from last year's single speaker to say the least and it's not just about adding another speaker as dee has emphasized this speaker setup here is a careful endeavor and it's clear that a lot of work went into making the axon sevens external audio sound fantastic it's very difficult to find speakers of this caliber on other smartphones in the galaxy s7 single side firing speakers pales in comparison the xn7 is able to offer a realistic clean full and loud audio output which makes the listening experience extremely immersive the speakers also make sharing content much easier in order to maximize the utility from the exon sevens hi-fi audio you may need to adjust how you listen to music although some will argue that you need lossless audio content often available in the form of flack files many will be unable to notice the difference in comparison to high bitrate lossy formats lossless files are admittedly difficult to legally download but you could just buy and rip CDs into flat files yourself if that sounds like a lot of work you'll probably want to look into higher quality streaming options if you're insistent on streaming flat files directly you want to check out titles option for $20 per month otherwise pretty much every popular music streaming service offers high quality streaming often indistinguishable from lossless content for example configuring Spotify to stream at a higher quality is quite easy as you simply open the app go to the settings and select extreme quality for streaming this process is very similar across apps - and if you have any trouble Google can be your best friend do keep in mind however that higher quality streaming is often only available for paid subscribers if you're not paying already it may not be worth the money for what may be only a subtle improvement in perceived quality especially if you aren't using an expensive pair of headphones with that said you'll definitely love how audio sounds with the accent 7 regardless if you find audio quality to be of particular importance the ZTE axon 7 is certainly worthy of your consideration CTE has undoubtedly invested a lot of time in the axon sevens audio experience and it's truly remarkable when factoring the X and 7s price for just $400 you're not only getting class-leading audio but also a very compelling device that ticks pretty much every checkbox thank you for watching this quick overview of the exon 7 audio experience please be sure to like this video if you liked it and don't forget to subscribe if you haven't already finally be sure to visit the android authority website for additional coverage as we are your source for all things Android
