One thing to keep in mind is the Galaxy S uses a kind of "smart EQ". It has EQ built into its firmware that enables or disables itself based on what's plugged into its headphone jack. Low impedance loads (such as headphones) enable the firmware EQ. High impedance loads (such as external amplifiers) disable the firmware EQ. GSM Arena's audio tests show this. Samsung calls it the "diamond solution".
The Galaxy S performs measurably better when the firmware EQ is disabled - aka when it's plugged into an external amplifier. I'm not sure if the same holds true of the S2 or not.
