1) yes
The others are subjective and I have no idea how things are priced in India.

If music is your goal, get poweramp from the market and get your settings right, I use PA and stock headphones and I think they are the best. I've got I9505 your I9500 is supposed to have even better sound.

BTW I've spent $1000+ over the years on headphones, players and other stuff I think I'm a bit of an audiophile actually IMHO.

P.S. if you use PA make sure you select direct sound or it will sound sh!t.

bro about the rooting , as far as I have seen changing rom will trigger counter , and unrooting roms are available for I9500 which is used to unroot device, knowing that I will only root the device without changing rom , will it trigger counter ? or if not then after device is rooted if I follow the unroot method and do it then it will again become stock without ( official status ) without changing the counter value thus will not effect warranty...

Am I right ?

Yes, direct sound is located in settings/audio/advanced tweeks.

My equalizer is set to the preset "pop" but it depends on what your listening to.

I've also got replay gain set at 7db located in settings/audio/replay gain, also set apply replay gain and clipping.

Play around with the other settings yourself its not going to hurt to try things yourself....

Samsung player? I don't use that rubbish!

I no nothing about rooting Samsung, I am happy with the stock ROM which is the newest for Australia

1 - Yes
2 - Depends, when I listen to FLAC, I prefer no equalizer settings, but when I use MP3, I like Poweramp bass eq, with StereoX max, and BassBooster (another app) set to 70% and Improve Quality eq.
3 - I don't know much price in India, but I kbow that the settings I used + Samsung phones is good enough .

Sorry I forgot, I also have "tone" turned on with the bass & trebble just over half way.
P.s. turn that bass on full and feel the vibrations, well at least with stock headphones, haven't really used any on my others cause the stockies are very nice.
