By the looks of that anandtech review for the gs2, I will not be getting rid of my ipod. I have a temporary gs1 which has pretty crappy audio, and the s2 is supposedly worse.

With voodoo installed the GS1 is probably the best sounding phone out there. So yeah...

LG Optimus 2X (aka P990) with CyanogenMod 7.1 nightlies here. Great device.

I'm at a dilemma. Samsung Galaxy S2 or iPhone 5? Audio quality shouldn't matter as I already have a 3rd gen iPod touch to use as my portable source.

u need to root and install voodoo audio

I have a samsung galaxy s 1

I now have the gs2, and I think anandtech may have just gotten a lemon, because I do not hear the interference that they talked about. It needs a headphone amp, but no load related noise to speak of.

Samsung Fascinate.  I love the OLED display

iPhone 5 isn't released yet so we can't compare it yet. Anyway, the S2 is a brilliant mobile phone (everything except for mediocre battery life and audio) and the camera + video quality is astonishing.

I've got the sensation too.  Have you seen the Dr. Dre version?  Faster proc. Specialized audio SW and HW.  Dual core 1.5 GHz.

Folks: i have an iPhone 3GS and despite it has been a truly great performer in the audio area i was thinking in upgrading that smartphone for an HTC Sensation or the upcoming XE (if that Beats things is not the marketing bulls**t i'm afraid it's gonna be...) but i was wondering how would it drive balanced armature iems.

Cause i don't know about the output impedance of the HTC Sensation and HTC won't tell me about it. I would give up the convenience of the iPhone (i.e.Speaker docks) for a bigger screen but only if the headhphone out keeps up with multidriver balanced armature headphones. The RMAA's of GSMarena are driving dynamic headphones so the don't tell a thing about how would the HTC would cope with armatures.

Does the HTC Sensation headphone out keep up with SE530, Westone 4, UM3x... and this kind of iems ?

If you want a bigger screen, the iPhone 5 is rumored to have a 4" screen. It's going to be announced in a couple of weeks so I would wait until then to see if it's true.

More like 3.8 for iPhone 5.

Macrumors called it the iPhone 4S and say that it has a small possibility of a larger 4" screen 

There's rumors that there will be both an iPhone 5 and an iPhone 4S. I guess we'll see when it's announced. Supposedly it will be announced on October 4th.
