The GS2 is a great phone eg. large clear screen, good camera, fast processor, etc. read the reviews and it is well received (PCpro’s A-list phone). But, I did not read one review which would prepare me for how poor the standard audio was going to be (plenty highlighting this after I had got the phone!).

 

The stock player is very poor and almost a disgrace to be supplied with a high end phone.  The great thing about Andriod is there are alternative players out there, I use Neutron which has the best sound (MO) though a bit clunky GUI. Poweamp has a good GUI and good sound, so, just by loading a third party player the phone is accectable.  Add in a headphone amp and rip your music to FLAC and the sound is quite good, not outstanding, but if you are listening on a train, plane, jogging etc, quite good.

 

I am happy where I am now, there will be updates to improve things so I'm not going to run off and get an I-Phone smily_headphones1.gif

If you are rooted! Not too much improvement but might be able to help PowerAmp users complaining of low volume.

As far as I read, Voodoo is not a solution because GS2 runs on a Yamaha DAC, which is not compatible with Voodoo.

This is not the same Voodoo as the I9000. It is just a kernel with volume booster.
