This topic is one I feel very strongly about, and was the main reason I have spent many months debating whether to buy an Android phone.
The thought I have is that I have to carry a phone about with me, and I feel the phone is of sufficient technology that I should not also have to have an MP3 player. So, I need a phone that is also an excellent MP3 player.
I also hope this topic is related to listening with earphones or headphones. The speaker on the phone is not even worth considering as a viable way to listen to music.
This is the first phone, that im happy with, sound wise (so naff without mixzing eq).
wellibob, what other phones and MP3 players have you used before, to come to that conclusion?
All my mp3 music on the phone has already been gained (via mp3 gain on pc) to 92 db.
How do tracks sound if they havent been remotely EQ'd by yourself? Thats a lot of work to have to go to, in order to get the sounds you wish to hear.
Generally, I want to listen to tracks that I have already, or that are given to me. Running them through a separate program on a PC before I can listen to them is not something I want to do, or feel I should need to do.
Reading other info on the web, it seems that there is no native support for equalisers in Android, so that would support others in saying that to add bass to the sound, effectively they take away the rest. The volume on the Desire is not fantastic anyway, so to me, it will become slightly bassy, but far too quiet.
I realise that i am drawing these conclusions before actually listening, as I have not installed any of the audio apps mentioned, but much of this can be worked through in theory before I install any of the apps.
Cheers,
Steve
