Has anybody had a better experience with headphones on an amp better than the samsung vibrant or any cell phone with the headphones as a benefit? Is there anything better than the vibrant galaxy?

I think that Sony's Xperia phones have much better headphones than any other brands I could try, with deep and clear basses, good mediums, and minimal sound distortion. I think Sony's headphones are also more comfortable and isolate from outside noise better. Their Walkman application is actually quite good.

If you're talking about the DAC, there's nothing better than the Wolfson DAC in the Exynos chipset on the Galaxy S and Galaxy S3 i9300/i9305 (not the S2).

I had no idea the NS4G had a Wolfson DAC....
This phone has literally just surpassed all my expectations....
...and now with Spotify in the US, this phone is IT !!

And one of the best as well. It was in one of the original ipods. I think the 4th Gen, and it is an amazing DAC. Google it. Lots of love for it.
With voodoo control, the sound is stunning from this phone with good headphones.
I can vouch for this on my epic. Even the stock earbuds sound great. I'm using a pair of high end Sony buds and the sound is amazing. Also, the recorder is top notch too. With hi-q mp3 recorder and the recording setting set to loud environment, I went to a live show and the sound from the video was pretty decent l. I was right next to the guant speakers.

I guess you are still talking about the Wolfson DAC present on the sgs1 and the previous samsung nexus...
But what about the sound quality on this Nexus??
Seems to be, it doesnt have neither the Wolfson nor the Yamaha DAC...
Anyone?

I wasn't going to point that out, but I did notice that when I caught up on the progress of that conversation that you had already been there...
I just ordered a S3 16GB. I have a nexus(not rooted), on Jelly Bean. I love Jelly bean and touchwiz looks good.
Just want to know how you guys feel, who came from a nexus to the S3. Was it a wise decision and would you want to go back to nexus?
I know a lot of people will say everyone is different and everyone has there own likes. Just trying to some opinions. Thanks!

A few folks I know had no end of antenna / signal issues with their Nexus devices. One had so many replaced due to hardware issues Verizon agreed to send him an S3. He likes the S3 much better, actually likes the touch wiz stuff and likes the camera, battery life MUCH better.
Have both use both but most of the time it's the s3. I battery life is awesome and AOSP roms are stable enough for everyday use. So the amazing camera and better battery life make it a no brainier. I just use the nexus when I'm filling frisky and want something different or new rom wise. Or when I go to the gym, since the audio playback on the nexus is a fair amount superior. Highs distort with the s3.

KLIPSCH Image S4's are a popular model of relatively high performing in-ear headphones...
BTW: I have a Nexus and just received my SGS3 today. The first Nexus I received had mad antenna issues. Verizon replaced it and the second one initially had constant 4G drops but after the Jelly Bean update, it's solid. JB didn't help the 1st one at all. Battery does seem to drain pretty quickly on the Nexus compared to other devices (HTC Evo, Evo 3D, etc.). I'll try to remember to provide more feedback after a week or so of using the SGS3.

the sg3 is 10x better than any nexus ive owned.
I have owned both, the S3 is better in basically every way, except I really did like the onscreen navigation buttons on the Nexus. Battery life is far superior on the S3, and everything for me just works. Reception is better also. Some improvements are really small over the Nexus, and I don't mean to down the nexus in any manner, it would be my phone if I did not have the S3. It's just a step up in most all aspects. I use stock ROM with the Apex launcher, as I like the stock android look. I am not ready to jump to Jelly Bean until completely stable. I am unlocked, rooted, running clean ROM 2.5.
I prefered my Galaxy Nexus over this one so far. It fit better in hand, looked better, and ran smoother out of the box. I haven't had a chance to get an aosp build together for this phone yet, but stock to stock I would take the Galaxy Nexus again now that I've had some time with the S3.

It is really disturbing what happened with the last Nexus... that name seems like it may just dissolve into just some marketing crap and maybe get you the latest OS when you buy it and some compatibility later but ... little else. Even more so now that there will be numerous Nexus devices so numerous flagships that aren't actually flagship devices.
Google meanwhile doesn't seem to care.

I came from a gnex. I actually wish I had kept it when I bought my s3. I liked the on screen buttons. The s3 batt life is better tho. Its not much of an upgrade in my opinion. The gnex was rooted and running jellybean. It was smoother for some reason. Now that I've used the s3 for some time. I prefer the nexus.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app
I too currently have the GSM Nexus and the SGS3 and switch between them swapping the sim. SGS3 impresses other people the most, but I like the Gnex a bit more. Damn good looking phone that runs so smooth. The 3 has more bells and whistles, but I don't use them much. If I could only have one, I think I would miss the Gnex more than the 3.

With my Klipsch ones and the s3 I have a little bit of distortion (almost a harshness of the tone) in the high notes. It's not evident with every song but if the tones go high enough it almost rings out. With my Klipsch s4 it's far more noticeable although honestly I think my s4 might need to be warranty replaced. Regardless it isn't there with my nexus at all. I played with them both on a trip to Chicago and there was very noticeable difference between the phones.

Hello
I cannot find any information on audio quality (while listening to music) on both devices. Do you know if there's any comparison? GSMArena tests showed that the performance of One S equipped with S4 is quite impressive, I wonder whether S3 is somewhat close to that.

Don't think there would be any difference in audio quality

My stock samsung earphones broke today and i planned to get good pair. I dont have much idea about earphones. I know beats are expensive, but my queation here is are they worth getting.
I have heard a good deal of senhieser earphones and headphones. They are comparatively low priced but what about tge quality???
Need some reviews on both these products senhieser omx 680 sport or the powerbeats by dre????

It's not as simple as that. You can read my guide and post there, but I'll break down the basics.
1: Beats, Bose, Skullcandy, any celebrity endorsed earphone is trash. You can buy much better for half the price.
2: In order to give recommendations, I need to know price range, in ear vs. over ear, genres you listen to, and whether or not you need a mic/remote.

But still these are the two earphones i found most attractive. I know beats will be expensive. But i am scared if i go for senhieser and wont get the results i am expecting then i will loose my 50$.
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda app-developers app
There are some very nice looking, good sounding headphones out there that you might not be aware of.
For on-ear, V-Moda M-80 and M-100 should be considered.
If you'd rather have Beats for the looks, then I'd recommend getting fakes. The real ones don't sound much better.
If you do care about sound, Sennheiser isn't bad at all, but without knowing a few things, I can't help make a good recommendation. I would love to help, though, I like spreading the joy of good audio recommendations.

They're well liked by some, but at that price point, Sony MH1 or Brainwavz R1 would be much better, also Soundmagic E30. How much are you looking to spend and what music do you listen to? Need a lot of bass or clear and detailed?
-Accidental Asshole aka Jeremy
[Guide] Headphone/Earphone Buying
I am a rock and jazz listener. So wont be needing a jumbo size headphone.
A little sporty would be fine with me as well. Beats is way way too expensive and at a point where i am saving some buck for s4 or note 3. Its a better idea to go for a sennheiser earphone.
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda app-developers app
I'd definitely look at the ones I mentioned, and if you want to go a little higher, hifiman/head-direct re-zero gets great reviews for crystal clear detail, Shure SE215 has superb mids, and Audio Technica CKS77 should be clear, with good but not overwhelming bass and a very wide soundstage.
I doubt you'd go wrong with any, but Brainwavz R1 might not have enough mids for you. They're a bit recessed.

As a "don't buy" advice, avoid the ZTE Grand X phone: it sucks at music. I bought one and gave it to my brother because the bad quality of output sound.

Samsung Nexus S for sure!! Awesome sound quality, and great.battery life when using it without a sim and android 2.3.6 or 4.1.2!

I really liked my HTC rezound combined with Poweramp. I rooted my rezound and installed CyanogenMod 10.2 rom with Aroma Beats and Poweramp and it was fantastic. The only downside with CyanogenMod Rom was the battery life. But it depends on what you mean by loud things. I usually listen to music with headphones so that was what was great about that phone. The speaker on the Rezound was loud but not as clear as my HTC ONE that I have right now.
