Though its stereo speakers and wide internal display made us hopeful, the enV(2)'s audio and video quality didn't quite measure up to our expectations. The music sounded tinny, and the video was too pixilated.

This round is a draw for me. I was really, really impressed with the audio quality of the enV(2) as songs sounded quite rich through the phone's speakers. On the downside, videos looked rather blurry.

I thought the music quality of the enV(2) was alright, but nothing too spectacular. Video quality was too pixilated for my tastes.

Unfortunately, the Vu also suffered from some media performance issues. Video was a little blurry, and the picture didn't take full advantage of the large display. Also, the music sounded a bit hollow. As such, it's a tie.

I had the complete opposite experience on the LG Vu. Tracks sounded weak and tinny. On the other hand, video looked amazing and sharp on the Vu.

The Vu wins this round for me. Video looked decent and I definitely liked the photo quality of the Vu over the enV(2)'s. Music quality was a tie with the enV(2).
