Oh using the headset it is definitely awesome! I love it. The speakers are loud enough (much louder than those on the iPhone, which has real **** speakers) and work really well on calls but for some reason, I guess they don't have a high range.
Could it be because they're MP3s? I don't think so. Otherwise, why would the same file sound so good with the headset?

You might ponder why your mileage is so different from others. The loudspeaker is okay, but when you use MP3 as ringtone, you'd get crackling in playback, especially for rock music.
It's because the phone app doesn't really play the MP3 ringtone directly, rather the MP3 you selected for ringtone is being converted to WAV file format and stored in a temp directory.
It's a known issue (bug 6784) regarding conversion from MP3 to WAV at bad quality. The link to bug report actually contains workround on it, you may refer to them if you've a pressing need to use your favourite MP3 as ringtone.

In my case the sound quality of default ringtones used for SMS, Email etc is excellent, but with mp3 its not only bad but it also lack loudness.
However I have to admit, while listening music using the headset, its good, perheps too good, better than an iPod

If there is one thing I truly find horrible about the N900 (apart from the Modest, very modest, e-mail client and lack of something like Maps on the iPhone), its the phone speaker sound quality. Its unbelievable. I am finding it hard to pick a ringtone because the sound is so distorted and ugly. The sound is of such low quality. Does anyone have a workaround? Perhaps a way to adjust the Equalizer and get decent sound out of these speakers?
