The speaker might be on par, but try out the headphones, I've heard a lot of bad from many people/forums. It is tinny, flat and the bass is cut off, that's what people are saying on xda.dev.forum?
Some state if the music is transfered through Zune it sounds ok but not through the program provided by Nokia (i'm not sure of the name).
Even GSMarena has tested the sound and concludes that the bass is cut off in the jackstick and therefor gives a flat and bassless sound.
What is your experience?
To also chip in with some on topic:
I would siriously concieder the N9 over the Lumia, even more in the light of really bad headphone sound. I listen to alot of music and that has to be good, not audiophile like, just good. My iPhone 4S is not that great with the standard headphones, but fine for my use.
The N9 is still a great smartphone for the avarage Joe and an end user. Apps is not everything and I've ended up using only a handfull of around 300 downloaded. Most apps are just entertainment and quite useless in the end.
One thing i would miss is the games, the console like games, with a switch to either N9 or Lumia. They might be availebel in some degree, but the gyro sensor is missing in both devices and that is one awesome feature when missing hardware buttons A's seen on Xperia Play.
There's also the camera part where the Lumia just lags compared to the N9.
Even Nokia drive on the Lumia is a 'lite' version compared to the version on the N8 with less options and settings.
I would go for the N9

For example :
- many smartphone users install less than 5-10 softwares;
- for my use, Android has less software than Maemo 5.
Which mobile OS is better depends on each users's needs.

i am going to get the white lumia over the n9
i can not understand why n9 has soo many missing things
no voice recognition
lumia has second to none voice integration
in regard to lumia battery life, it is actaully better than n9 to me.
lumia internet is always on in background, and n9 i had mine set to no background connection to have okay battery life.
lumia has always fb chat on, as opposed to not having online with n9
lumia i can play music for extended time, but with n9 battery would drain tremendously quick
lumia screen is better than n9

i tried last week my AKG headphones with de Lumia and the feel I had is:
bass sounds were not as good as they are in n900 , they don't feel so strong and refined.
also at maximum power sound is more clear from n900 than lumia 800
just my opinion!
regards

When you guys set the background connection to no? What exactly does that mean? How much battery life do you gain by turning it off?
about changing ringtones, no need, i use standard nokia ring tone. i do not need a hip hop song when my phone rings, especially around elder millionaires.
phone is a beauty, i urge those whom can afford, to try it
