Best Music Phone

[sirlon]

hi guys,

I want to buy a music phone. Not a very high end model. Mid range one. all other features are optional. I don't care,if it has a camera/wifi..Budget is max 10k. Can also consider very basic models within 3 k..if the sound quality is good.

Err..by "Xpress Music" edition if you mean Nokia's then that info would be incorrect. Just because they are branded as music phones eg.Xpress music and Walkman series doesnt mean they are the "Best". (sic)

@OP get the C5 if you can. Its not such an excellent phone but the music is prettry loud and decent enough for the price.

And oh, avoid that X2 as all cost.

The button becomes terribly hard after a few months of frequent usage. Many of my friends bought it due to its VFM features but they ended up regretting it.

For affordable music phone, the Samsung Champ C33031 is your best bet.

Honestly, buy a Sansa Clip or Fuze and get an el cheapo phone. Best of both world

SQ wise you can consider the Samsung Monte tone of the best phones for music IMO.

I would recommend spending money on exceptional quality music players.

Cowon : Buy in India @ Flipkart.com

My choice would be the cowon c2.

or sansa clip + and good headphones

Don't waste money on mobile phones to enjoy music.They have no DAC .
One exception in the samsung galaxy S 9100.It has a high quality wolfson DAC,but you will have to tweak software to make it work .

Nokia X2-01 is also not a bad choice, you can have a look!

guys i don't want to end up carrying gadgets. A phone with mp3 capability would do the job for me..

Check out Android phones with good SQ. Then install Rockbox.

Yea.. get an android phone and u can try many music player apps... believe me u'll really like the customization of sound settings provided with them so u can enjoy music as u wants.... eg: PowerAmp

Buy any decent phone and replace the stock earphones mostly the stock are very bad.

Only earphones doesn't matter. Phone must produce good output.

I own SGS (Wolfson DAC) and sound quality is awesome with Voodoo + PowerAmp customization. I tried plugging in same earphones to Samsung Galaxy S2 with PowerAmp installed on it but the sound quality was terrible. Sound Quality differs from mobile to mobile, no matter if it's android or a good music player. As I answered, if phone fails to produce good sound then no use of soft customizations.

Yeah, Rockbox is solid option if a phone is not Galaxy S (We've Voodoo for SGS ). Make sure you check sound quality before actually purchasing a device..

Here's my suggestion,

Get a cheap mobile that satisfies your need and later spend some money on PMP like Cowon or Sansa Clip+.. Believe me, You'll never regret your decision. They're so small but sounds really wonderful. :yeah:

^^Absolutely!!Buy a Cowon,if you need to buy a mobile,get a galaxy or nexus S.

My personal preference is a any walkman phones . May be the sound is top notch or not , the accessibility is awesome one button to the Player whatever you are doing in the phone. I also recommend buying a mp3 player . advantages are Separate Battery for both devices , Guaranteed sound quality,More memory dedicated to music.

 

[umangtahir]

my suggestion would be nokia x1

Cheap, dual Sim, Excellent Music quality.

Durable.

Agreed 100%. He is spot on about Wolfson DAC on S1, S2 sucks. Only other option is iPhone which is a) Mass produced b) iTunes c) Expensive..
I got a clip+ and it is without doubt the best money i ever spent. I had the same issues as the OP regards to carrying multiple devices,but it is so small and light it barely makes any difference.

guys got Samsung E1232B finally and would purchase a music player if in need. As of now, the 3.5 mm jack sounds nice to me on this. Thanks for your suggestions guys.
