Yesterday I bought me a pair of Sennheisers IE8. I didn't really have burnt them in yet, but I must admit: audio quality of the N900 is great.

One thing that I have noticed is that noise-canceling headphones work well on the n900 now. They worked very poorly on the n800...

Do you have an idea why noise cancelling sucked so badly on the n800 and works so much better now? Noticed that as well on my Sennheiser PXC300. Just curious.

My Gmini 400 was my main player before I got the N900. I'm kind of disappointed with the general audio quality compared to the Gmini which was great. But I think this can be fixed with an EQ.

Gemini 400 and 402 are two of the best sounding (same internals) of any players and tied with Cowan's.

I have a 402- best sounding device I ever heard, so kind of unfair comparison to almost any other MP3 device

Mids and lows are OK on the N900, just needs a liiittle' on the high end, as some sound curves have shown in a reviews.

What I really care about is details. I listen to a lot of classic rock, blues and metal and I like to hear the whole band. I like to hear the notes played by the bass guitar. The Gmini was perfect for that, The N900.. not so much.

BTW, go and try Symfonie. It's a new player with a built in 8 channel EQ although it has a 60% CPU load while running.. Sounds fantastic though. And so does Mediabox. I'm not even touching the default player since it sounds like garbage (but nothing a built in EQ for maemo can't fix)

I've been listening to a lot of different kinds of music on the N900 since I got it 2 weeks ago and I must agree -- this is one of the best portable devices I ever heard. While it doesn't live up to a proper amplifier with a clean digital input.. it doesn't have any of the background noise or clicks/pops either like most laptops do

Leaving aside the original earbuds (which sound quite muddy), I've been testing the N900 with a pair of Audio-Technica ATH-M50's which the N900 can power quite well, even though they're rated at 38ohm.

Provided with high-quality source files, I must say that the N900's playback is as clean and balanced as I had hoped for. There's absolutely no missing details in sound nor any need for an EQ, provided that your headphones themselves have a good flat frequency response.

In comparison with a 3rd gen. iPod Nano, the N900's quality is MUCH better, especially in the areas of stereo separation and clarity of sound details.

I own a pair of M40fs I use for recording and I can say with confidence that the regular player with it's current EQ is not as good as on other devices I own. I do a lot of recording and mixing (I'm a recording guitarist) and my ears are quite sensitive to variations in frequencies.
