im planning to buy a new nokia phone. but
im not sure with the audio quality of the latest Nseries phones. i've tried a lot of old nokia phone models but im not satified with the sound quality. nokia sucks when it comes to music. mp3's sound like thin cans. but im not buying a phone just because of the music. and i guess nobody here does, ryt... we dont buy a phone just because of the camera or music... its convergence of tech is what we're looking for.... yah, i know se is good in music, thats there expertise... how about the latest Nseries now? any improvement so far with regards to audio quality?
how about the n95 8GB? please post ur comments here ASAP. thanks

NOKIA N81 and N91 stand at the top,with great sound quality, better than the SE WALKMANS.
5700, 5610, N95, and N95-8GB also have great sound quality. Nokia realy have improved, i remember N70, 6680, N90 etc. . . Weren't realy that great when it came to sound,but the latest ones are great

yeah.. i agree that latest n series of nokia has a great sound quality... but.... but... not that perfect.... most especially, when playing high quality sound files or bitrates..... it sounds like a crash speakers... yeah, unlike se phones... even editing a higher bitrate sound file the sound is still perfect...

How misleading. Its "Speakerphone loudness test".
What has it got to with sound and music quality?
Posted by erazer007
The best sound quality through headphones in NSeries is N81 and N91.
Through speakers the best is N95 8GB and N81.
The N95 8GB and N82 are equal in quality through headphones but through speakers the N82 sucks.The N95 8GB has improved a lot from the N81.

no you are mistaken. audio quality in SE phones suck beyond imagination, W910 being a prime example.

n91 really rocks big time..n81 sucks and the xpressmusic series is a real letdown imo...

no i actually did use it. there is just one sweet spot where the quality is good but when you punch the volume down or above that, its just an ugly mess.

i dont have enough money to buy it both, so i have to gather some users opinion regarding the gadgets... i've tried a lot of nokia phones both i was so disappointed. and dont wanna waste my hard earned money owning a crappy phone... all i want is tthe audio quality from headphones not from loud speakers.... coz i use it as my substitute to my mp3 player.

Ah, our prime critic has given us his fully adequate opinion, yes?
wrong

N81 and N91 share THE SAME Toshiba DAC-33 DSP Sound chip, the ONLY difference is that N81 is a bit softer due to EU Volume Reduction law, otherwise both N91 and N81 are at the top with sound quality, i think Mobile-Review, Smape and some others have said so as well.
Ive heard W580 and W910, both were average,nothing to hype about, except the shake control, although using was embarrasing.

i have said it time and time and time again that you are just TOO damn young to understand something. SE has people like YOU in mind when they make W910 or W880 because they know kids will go WOW over the shake feature and light effects and by god havnt they succeeded! I'd say the target audience for N91 or N81 is someone over 21 or 22, someone with experience in the audio field, someone who knows what hardware drives the audio output, someone like me, NOT you

Ok, so now you're calling me immature, is that right?
Well, my age is none of your business.
I'd like you to stop referring to me personally.
Anyway, let's move on with the topic, shall we?
