Re: Nokia N9, N900, Iphone3GS Music player review and shootout
(Old thread, I know.)
My old Cowon player has given me some problems of late, so I was considering using the N9 as my music player No contest against the Cowon--N9 sounds so dull. To my surprise my old N900 is a much closer race (though still loses). I could--and probably will--settle on theN900. The N9 sounds clean but really lifeless--kind of 2D. I am surprised so many people think the N9 sounds better. |

I agree. Both N8 & N9 sound pretty "flat" compared to my N900.
I don't really even want to mention the N91 in this post. ps: N91 probably (surely) beats your Cowon in loudness and bass. If you can find it, grab it and don't look back. Also the 5800XM (Tube) is a fantastic mp3 player. imo , the N900 is almost as capable. |

I have found that in terms of the audio quality coming out of the device, iPhones sound a lot clearer. I tend to find the audio output quite muddy and weak on my N9 compared to that of my friends ipod, and even with a side by side comparison of my Macbook, the N9 still was quite sad.
I used/use a pair of Sennheiser CX310's. |

Just for the sound experience.

Out of curiosity, are you guys remembering to enable the Dolby Headphone setting under Settings -> Applications -> Music?
I generally don't listen to music on them through headphones (except for my blue tooth ones), and the N9 sounds pretty sweet through it. I don't think I've ever really sat down and compared the two. I know out of the built in speaker, the N900 was sounding way better than my boss's iPhone 3 (pretty sure it was a 3 at the time). slaapliedje |

N91 eats them all..... Quote:
That regression may have been rectified with the iP5, I haven't looked into it yet... The iPod (depending on which one you're talking about) may have a slightly different story. Quote:
