Default iPaq Audio Improvements

I currently own an iPaq 3870 and am looking to upgrade to a 4150.

The audio output in the 3800 is quite acceptable for earphones, in fact as far as my ears are concerned theres not too much difference between the iPaq and my Sony discman. However when I was looking for some new headphones I quickly realised just how badly the iPaq performed when driving a more powerful headphone.

What I am wondering is has there been any significant improvement to the iPaq audio system between the 3800 series and the 4150?


Even if you have never owned a 3800 I would still appreciate responses from those that use there iPaq with what would generally be called high powered headphones. These are the type of headphones I am thinking of: http://www.sennheiser.com/sennheiser...ortables_05207

You don't need to be an audiophile to notice the lack of quality from the 3800 when set to the higher volume levels required for acceptable listening (for comparison my earphones are usually set mid way between the first and second volume setting, the headphones I tested needed the be set at about the second highest setting for similar volume).


Thanks
