I'm using W980 with Sennheiser MX 460, the sound quality produced is crisper than my iPod Touch. iPod only wins in term of loudness.

I highly doubt it. I'm not a big fan of earbuds and would suggest a pair of Sennheiser PX100 headphones or Koss KSC75 clip-ons as great budget choices. |

I'd suggest either the W980 or the W902.

I would suggest w902, because it has the same music quality as w980, and as far as music goes, the only edge w980 has is the fm-transmitter. On the other hand, w902 is "cyberman" phone meaning its both cybershot (nearly  ) and walkman in one phone |

W902 with a good set of headphones. HPM-77 is fine enough. |

The best walkmans for me (audio quality wise) are w760, w980 and w902.
But imo the best among the three is w902.
The candybar form is sturdier for many months down the road and the w902 specs are better than the two imho.

Well, what you've heard is not true. Walkman phone do not produce great audio quality, it can be best described as passable despite what these geniuses with expensive headphones claim above me.
From W800 to W902 they all sound the same, believe me, i had the W800 and i have listened to the latest offerings. Just use the headphones provided (HPM 70 etc etc) and it should be fine. And please for god's sake dont go for sure, they are extremely expensive and they WILL NOT improve sound quality because the audio hardware in W phones (if there is any) is quite limited so the headphones will not be fully utilized.

^^^ this Mr. genious (Nokia fanboy) even doesn't know what he is talking about, so I wonder how he rate Walkman and quality of sound they produce.

lol hes probly like "OMG! Sony Ericssons walkman is just a gimick, it doesn't mean anything, Nokia's Xpress Music is in no way a rip off of walkman and it is not a marketing gimmick. The Xpress music features higher quality sound than Sony's NWZ series"

I know for sure that w902 and w980 are better than the xpressmusic, at least the 5310 and the 5220:)
And QVGA: Are you sure now, that there are no differences from w800 to w902 in terms of music quality? I even doubt that you've listened to w902, because in terms of music it is better than the xpressmusic phones
