Dedicated music players have isolated DAC and amp sections and less interference from the other onboard hardware, in addition it allows them to have higher power outputs and capabilities than phones (which mostly don't even have headphone jacks nowadays sadly....) They have lower noise floors, crosstalks, less distortion, and can drive more demanding high end headphones.
