When Your Favorite Song Won’t Play Abroad: The Frustration Every Overseas Chinese Knows

I was scrolling through my Weibo feed this morning, sipping my lukewarm coffee in my tiny Berlin apartment, when I saw the announcement: ‘2025 QQ Music #Premium Sound Quality Awards# winners revealed!’ My first thought? ‘Wow, I wish I could actually listen to these award-winning tracks without that annoying ‘This content is not available in your region’ message popping up.’

The post listed 13 audio devices and one innovative partner brand that won the ‘2025 QQ Music Premium Enjoyment Award.’ Brands like Black Shark gaming phones, UGREEN, Moondrop, beyerdynamic, Baseus, Sony portable audio, Giec speakers, DEVIALET, Sonos China, RayNeo, Xiaomi phones, and Eversolo all made the cut. Reading those names felt like spotting old friends in a crowd – familiar, but distant.

You know what’s funny? I could almost hear my cousin’s voice from three years ago, when we were both back in Shanghai. ‘Check out this new Sony headphone,’ he’d said, handing me his device. ‘The bass is so clear it feels like the drummer is right there in the room.’ Now, sitting oceans apart, I can only imagine how these award-winning devices actually sound.

The selection process sounded thorough – based on QQ Music’s ‘Premium Sound Quality Certification’ system, combining objective hardware tests with authoritative subjective listening evaluations. It’s meant to help users find truly trustworthy audio equipment and push industry sound standards forward. From open-ear headphones to flagship over-ear models, from Wi-Fi speakers to immersive home theater systems, from spatial audio phones to professional digital players – each winning product represents a sincere interpretation of great sound.

But here’s the thing that really got me: last week, my aunt sent me a voice message from Beijing, her voice crackling through the poor connection. ‘Your cousin’s using one of those award-winning devices to study for his exams,’ she said. I could hear faint classical music in the background – probably some piece he’d downloaded from QQ Music. Meanwhile, I was struggling to play the same platform from Germany, the loading circle spinning endlessly like some cruel joke.

Maybe I’m being sentimental, but there’s something special about music that connects us across distances. These awards celebrate that connection – the promise of crystal-clear audio that can make you feel like you’re back home, even when you’re thousands of miles away. The post ended with ‘May we continue to work together toward a more moving acoustic future!’ – and honestly, that future can’t come soon enough for those of us tuning in from abroad.
