Hi head-fi community

I read that Nokia 5800 is among the best sounding phones and it even rivals with dedicated DAPs. How does it compare to Zune HD for example?.

I owning 5800 and Zune 120 which is very similar to HD in terms of SQ. I don't really like to listen music on 5800 (with both Sony MDR-888 earbuds and Grado SR-80 headphones). IMHO: It might be good sounding phone, but it still considerably worse than Zune 120. 5800 sounds much less detailed and with noticeable lack of depth.

I've a 5800, the sound quality is amazing for a phone and it does rival a fair few dedicated DAPs. It sounds better than my 2g nano and my zen but it's not as good as my fuze.
That being said, i do use it more than any of my dedicated DAPs cause of convenience, flac support, scrobbling etc.
(you do have to use the line-out setting to get the best out of it though)
