Back when both phones were new I got the impression that the Sony Ericsson Xperia X10 gave better quality sound on headphones than a Samsung Galaxy S. Sony is a large music company so this isn't a surprise.
I got the impression that the Xperia was giving as much quality as I needed, when using my Bose QC15 headphones anywhere other than my home the ambient noise was more of a problem than anything else (noise cancelling headphones don't stop all noise). If someone wants a portable MP3 player for listening while not at home I don't expect a Sony phone to be a quality bottleneck. Also if the music is already in MP3 format there's probably enough quality loss that an audiophile player wouldn't provide any benefit. Of course the vast majority of audiophile gear provides no benefit anyway.
