Trying to get a new phone that sounds good for music - Page 2

It is, in fact I think my Panasonic HTF600 headphones connected to it along with Poweramp sound even better than when connected to my Pioneer VSX-1020 receiver, which sounds amazing anyway. I'm listening to Foo Fighters' "Wasting Light" now and it's blowing my mind how great it sounds. I never thought that a cell phone could sound so perfect for music. Now, if the people behind Poweramp would release a system-wide EQ so I could have the same sound quality in Spotify, that would be a piece of heaven.

My Moto Atrix 4G has great SQ, and using PowerAMP on it I am quite happy. There is no whine, no SQ issues, I'm happy.

As for the RazR MAXX, when it hits look for the reviews & see if there are any complaints/issues with the sound it produces. Fair enough? I would do the same if I were on Verizon. If I hear of issues, I'd pass. AND I'D inform others to do the same.

I also sold the iPhone 4G recently, and I compared the SQ of this compared to it (using my fav app - PowerAMP). The Atrix 4G was my winner,...YMMV. 

I went with the Droid 3. It may be missing a few features like 4G but it's a speed demon. And it sounds as good as the iPhone when using Spotify. Now, what absolutely blew my mind is this player app called Poweramp, that not only has a giant EQ, but also bass and treble that are great enough in themselves, and the EQ on top of that if you need more fine tuning, but my $12 Sony headphones sound like $200 Sennheiser with this app. It's just amazing. Unfortunately it's only for local files, it doesn't do anything for Spotify, but still, it's an excellent replacement for my iRiver MP3 player. It comes with 16 GB of flash storage on board, and with Poweramp it sounds even better than my iRiver, something that not even a $400 Sony walkman could achieve. Until now, my iRiver was the standard against which I measured any other portable players. It's amazing that this phone was $200 just a few months ago and now it's $100 because they're releasing the Droid 4 soon. I would say I made a great deal. Oh, and forget about what some people say about call quality with this phone, call quality is great too.
