The new Xperia 1 V looks amazing and is coming out this month. It is really expensive but is one of the only phones nowadays that comes with an aux jack and a micro SD card slot. It's great having a phone with 1.25-1.5 TB of space for lossless music, photos, etc and not having to pay monthly for cloud storage. I've always been a Samsung guy but since they followed Apple and ditched the basics I may try a Sony phone in the near future if there's a price drop or a refurbished deal. The biggest criticism I see with Sony phones is that they only commit to 2 years of updates, which for $1,400 is quite lousy considering other brands offer 4 years of update support for their phones.
At that point, I probably would have just got a dedicated Walkman for more battery and less fragile device.
I like my Astell and Kern SR25 II for a portable music player, good UI and plenty of headphone power.
