[FONT=&quot]Hi all,[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot]Please recommend a phone which delivers awesome sound quality through earphones. Earlier, I had Redmi 2 which did the job pretty good. My budget is 12k-13k max.[/FONT]

Check ZTE phones released during and after second half of 2015. They have an integrated DAC and supposedly sound better, at par with iphones 6 and galaxy 6.
ZTE Blade 6 is within your budget, I can vouch for the sound quality only. Not sure of their after sales service, camera quality and performance. I've also heard that ZTE devices rarely get updates, so thats a downer.

Sony's phone also do sound good enough. Also I have a friend using old Samsung Galaxy S3 as a media player and claims to have good sound. Apart from these you can use different players and equalizers to boost the sound quality of phones, I use Equalizer+ to boost the bass and loudness.

yes. one by one name all the existing brands.
Recommend smartphones which are worth of spending 15k. Samsund and Sony have one of the worst configs for 15k price tag. Sound quality wont be exceptional for sure. So stop recommending such brands or smarthpones

Note 3 is nowhere near the best in 2016, and besides OP has budget of 12k only. Otherwise what beats HTC 10 anyway.

Best audio phone 2016 Summary. In tests found the Marshall London phone the best for overall audio quality, followed by the Samsung Galaxy S6 in second place and the HTC 10 in third.

I am using HTC device and happy with its sound quality. So, I am going to suggest you to buy a HTC device. But you may need to increase your budget.
