[QUOTE="audiophile, post: 1049131, member: 36179"] everybody seems to be focusing on sound quality in regard to headphones, so just to add a bit of perspective to the discussion i want to explain the huge difference i've noticed in my car. i am definitely an audiophile, i've spent around $4000 on my audio system in my car. i have polyglass focal speakers in the front doors, rear doors, and rear deck. there is a 12" t1 rockford fosgate in the trunk all powered by pioneer amps (4x150 and 1x600). i decided to opt out of buying a new deck for fear of losing steering wheel controls and bought an audiocontrol lc7 (a 7 channel line output converter which basically serves the same purpose as a deck, however, and this is important for the purposes of this discussion, it does not include any sort of EQ controls). so because of this the output of my mp3 player is actually where all of the base sound quality is coming from. so i started out with a samsung p2 as my music source and it had great sound quality, and easy to use EQ settings. after a year of rough use however the headphone jack input became loose and so it was time to buy something else. i ended up getting an iphone not even thinking of what the SQ would be like and i was extremely disappointed. at first i thought it might just be the fact that the iphone is a multifunction device rather than solely a media player until i was disappointed again when i tried a 5g ipod. in my opinion iphones/ipods are horrible when it comes to SQ and i would strongly recommend something more along the lines of the samsung p2 such as a cowon.
