The sound quality of the N9 is very good compared to most other smartphones. So be glad for that!

Yes, i agree with you is very good but not good enough for many of us.
Can be better.
i pray for an equalizer like Symbian!!
i am a lover of the deep bass and better sound quality, only change my headphone to Audio Technica was not enough.

I have to agree with @dannejanne there...
I used to have an iPod before (got it as a present, wouldn't otherwice propably have bought it because I think it is priced too high) and when I got my N9 I have not used the iPod since then.
N9 sound quality is so good I am using it exclusively as my music device, it's such a bother to carry multiple devices around. The iPod had maybe better designed UI but the sound quality is no better, at least in my ears. (I am usually listening to mp3's encoded at 320kbits/s rate, vbr2 with Lame...)

i agree i had and iPod touch 4, the sound quality really is not like the device price.
a few months i bought and Nokia 700 and i love the sound i using the same headphone on my N9 but really i prefer the sound in Symbian device.
The N9 sound quality is better than many very expensive smartphones (like iPhone) but is not better than Symbian devices and are Nokia too! (little brothers of The N9)
Or maybe i have problems in my hears.
i use .aac (lossless) and .MP3 at 320 kbps too. some times .flac

I also have a Galaxy Nexus and it sounds terrible in comparison. Totally flat sound. Not even an equalizer can fix it to near the levels of the N9.

Yah, my symbian device music player is better than the music player of my N9. So I bought other music players like Sigma Player and Flow Player.

It'd probably be possible to achieve a pretty flexible equaliser and general audio effects system using the pulseaudio LADSPA module. This would allow for any number of different LADSPA effects to be used system wide, e.g. reverb, echo, equalisation, pitch shifting, pitch correction, amplification, etc.
This module isn't installed by default, however I think it might be included in the pulseaudio-module-extra package. Unfortunately this is hosted in the repositories at http://harmattan-dev.nokia.com which have been down for a while now.
If Nokia ever fix the repositories I might have a go at writing something graphical based around this approach, until then its a bit too much effort.

i love my N9 but the sound quality really need some improvements, like and equalizer, Dolby is not enough.
i love Symbian sound quality, my 700 with Nokia Belle FP1 has a really good sound, deep bass, diferent equalizer settings and Dolby.
i want to ask you if some developer can port the audio libraries from Symbian^3 to Harmattan.
It is and idea, someone port the libraries from Belle FP1 to the N8 (an old device) and every body is happy.
