Steve, I tested both the iPhone and MPB both on the train and at home,
with similar results.
Downloading the EQ 10 app for the iPhone and fiddling with the sliders
has given me a sound that almost matches that from the MBP.
A few nights ago I was at my computer editing pix, 10 feet away from a

Taking the train last evening, I put on my (very good) Sennheiser
noise-cancelling headphones, plugged them into my iPhone, and started
Beethoven's Violin Concerto (sublime after a very stressful day).
Gee, I said to myself halfway through the first movement, this
sounds crappy. I tried all of

Thanks, Charles. It wasn't checked.
Do you listen to classical music? I imagine the reproduction would be
fine for pop, but it flunks for chamber or symphonic music.

I absolutely do not. I grew up with in playing in
Classical music sounds just fine from the iPhone, modulo the quality of the
encoding and output devices. Even my brother (a recording engineer) agrees. So
something's wrong with the encoding or the output.

Godfrey,
So it appears. The files I'm listening to are from CDs, copied onto
the MBP and thence to the iPhone. They sound much, much better on the
MBP. I'm puzzled.
I think I'll try a third-party graphic equalizer/playback program, but
somehow I'm not anticipating great success.

They should sound virtually identical if you use the same headphones for
output. I'd go to an Apple store and compare against another unit before you do
anything else. Your iPhone may have a bad part ...
My partner bought his 4S used and the sound was terrible from it. He brought it

Mystery solved!
Poking around in iTunes on the Mac, I found I had set the equalizer so that it
sounded good on trains, planes, and at home with the AC running.
After some research, I downloaded the EQ 10 app, and set its equalizer
similarly.
Zounds! Nice sounds, even here near the AC!
Thanks
