I'm not what you would call an audiophile, but I spent some money on good earphones to go with my - decidedly great-sounding - Zune 120. However, I got tired of carrying around two devices, so I bought an iPhone 4. Don't get me wrong, the iPhone is a great phone, but I'm very disappointed with the sound quality - it lacks so much oomph!
So, what do you think its the best sounding phone out there right now? I don't care if it's an Android, webOS or WP7 phone: I just want my phone to do my earphones justice.
Thanks!
Question about
What is the smartphone with the best music audio quality?
I think it depends more on the format of the music rather than the device. I always liked the sound of AAC which is why I probably held onto my ipod for so long. Now I just use high bitrate MP3s on my Evo which I think sound really well.

Yes, that's very true. Thing is: my music collection is mostly made up from high bitrate MP3s, which sounded great on my Zune. So, this just speaks badly of the iPhone's audio quality.

I have a Samsung Captivate (Galaxy S one), and my dad has the international version Galaxy S. The sound on it is amazing and with the Galaxy S II out now, you will properly get the original Galaxy S for a really good price.
A quote from phoneAreana: "Some audiophiles might be miffed that the Wolfson DAC in the Samsung Galaxy S, which produced some of the best sound heard from a mobile phone, has been replaced with a Yamaha audio processor in the Galaxy S II." So unsure about the new GS II's quality.
Both have support for FLAC as well.
Also on the Android market is an app, Voodoo Control, that unlocks the volume limit of the headphone jack. Allowing you to boost it 10dB+ also it adds things like A/D 128x oversampling in quality conversion optimization etc...
There are so many of these phones in the wild. take your earphones and go test on someone's Galaxy S.
