Quite happy with Neutron, sound feels well balanced, detailed and rich. The full depth and width is what I like to hear. Very fine app, and for only $5.

Neutron only has 4 EQ bands, but they can be set to any exact frequency you desire. Mmmmmm 
Player pro is between Poweramp and Neutron, SQ wise, Neutron being the best.

I use neutron on my galaxy s2 , its best in sound. even poweramp is good. I used n7 player GUI wise its superb.
You could give Simple Media Player a try.
I am even cheaper than you. I used DroidWall to block it from accessing the internet such that I can keep using it for free...
Has anyone tried Soundbest? This app does a 90 second audio response (hearing) test, then generates "optimized eq settings for comfortable and rich sound" for you. Lite version you cannot adjust the auto generated eq, maybe in the full version you can.
The only headphones i wish i could adjust the auto eq with were my AKG 301. The 3 IEMs i tried it with sound much more spacious and balanced to my ears after running the test.
I find myself using this app a bit more then neutron. YMMV.
Interesting find yesterday from AppSales (great app in itself!) - GoneMAD Music Player. Extremely feature-rich, and does a few things better than PowerAMP (10-band parametric EQ is a bit more granular, and can read Album Artist tags properly according to many of the reviews in the Play Store and I recall that was extremely important to some here). Has a two week trial period, and the unlocker is presently on sale (although not for much longer I think). No idea about SQ as yet, but overall seems like a very high quality package.

I tried quite a few about 6 months ago and settled on Neutron. To me, there was a noticeable difference in SQ over apps like Player Pro, PowerAmp and Winamp. Neutron's UI could certainly be a bit better, but once you get it down it's not so bad. Having said that, I am always on the lookout for a music app that is feature rich and has a nice UI and sound quality - I think jetAudio might be that app. The basic version has plenty of options to play with and includes a 10 band eq. The plus version ($3.99) boasts a 20 band eq and unlocks some other features as well. I'll try to post back here if I end up paying for the plus version.
Thanks for the rec, NZtechfreak. I'll check that out for sure.
I recommend using stock player or a Sony player coupled with noozoxide. A lot better than what other players offered me.

But as I said, I didn't mess with Neutron much. I'll play with it again when I have some serious time to do so.
