LG made a lot of noise about the quality of the new headphone jack on the V20, and now we can finally test those claims. Does this quad DAC really deliver? Let’s take a listen!

I’m watching this on my V20. looks great
So how is the audio on this phone compared to LG V10, HTC10 or Axon 7?? Which one do you recommend for pure music playback? I have an Audiotecnica MSR 7 headphone. It is not really clear if this phone does things good or not from this review.
For clarification, in the video you say that it appears to be truncating audio to 16 bit, but then show a frequency response plot. Did you mean to imply a reduction in sample rate?
the phone jack itself : after many insertions and removals there seems to be some issue with 100 % connectivity . Why don’t you talk about this ?
guys does the dac sample everything to 48khz?
does it do dsd (64,128,256,512)?
if the the device is using low resistance headphones does it only use one DAC?
I’ve yet to find synthetic audio benchmarks that actually can determine a products worth (beyond what is found when actually listening / using it).
why does this Not sound any better than my S7 edge with headphones? yes I have the Hi Fi DAC switched on.
Please do a “Real Audio Review” for the HTC 10 🙂
Does it work the same with Bluetooth headphones
The Lg Hifi plus module along with the G5 is still the best sounding phone out there imho. B&O know their shit for sure.
What happens if I plug this into my cars aux? Is the audio better than bluetooth?
I love that someone is finally focusing on audio in smartphones
I have just switched to the LG V20 and the headphone experience is amazing. It has an enhancer built in and you can make the music even better when headphones are plugged in. Music sounds so much clearer and rich.
a place for S7 edge lovers

I purchased some bets headphone for my LG V20 and I can clearly hear the music but when I make a call I can hear the person but they can’t hear me, is there something special I should be doing?
You should start keeping a Top Gear style list and rank the phones based on their speakers and headphone output after you test them, then show the updated list at the end of each video.
I just hope lg keeps the headphone jack in the future since most seem to be moving away from it.
This is one of the reasons why I’m getting this phone someday. Nice ass sound quality.
thanks for conclude up!
appreciate
Do one on the 1+3
can anyone provide any info on where i can find the phone mount in 1:15
As an iPhone user I can confirm that the stereo sound sucks
Is sound on headphone crisp and louder than the iPhone 7? I listen to music alot
what about the audio recording? how’s the audio input?
also on my v20. coming from using a note 7 I am extremely and surprisingly happy with this phone. the dac along with amazing camera have lessened the blow of losing my note 7
My question is will the V20 sound better in my car via 3.5 aux cable or is bluetooth better?
good sound quality enhancement on lg v20 with quad dac
Please compare it with the HTC 10.
The HiFi DAC is useless on wireless headsets, no? I’ve read some reviews using wireless headsets.
Axon 7 vs LG V10 which has a better DAC?
What about a comparison to the great HTC 10?!
so running a splitter gets it in high impedance mode? really would love to know this. my headphones could be louder. was honestly disappointed. JVC sz2000
headphones quality sound LG v20 VS zte axon7?
Great, informative video. At least I understand a lot more about the nuances of audio than I do photography.
I was wondering if you tried testing the phone in all 3 output modes. It has a normal output(low impedance), AUX mode, and high impedance mode. If you have normal low-impedance headphones like the Sennheiser Momentums, you can hold the play/phone button and a volume button when plugging in the cans and it will trick the phone into booting into AUX mode drastically increasing output. I’m not sure what it does to quality.
I love it how this works in my car aux, this feature allows my speakers to sound as if i had an amp. I hope they dont take this away from us
So is the Axon7 ZTE audio dac better than or the same as LG V20?
Pocketnow is this great for listening, or would the Axon 7 be just as good?
please also review the Sony Xperia XZ audio
Try some planar headphone like the t50rp, im interested.
Thank you very much for the nice review. I have a question and I hope I can find the answer in here. I am using V10 now and I am listing to music via bluetooth headphones Philips SHB 7510. I would like to have a better mobile that gives a great and louder sound. Please advise what mobile phone you do recommend to be used. Note: I have tried several headphones and I found they are almost the same in terms of loudness.
Thank you once a gain!
just add JBL Clip 2 fixes the single speaker issue.
So this will be good for the AKG K712s?
I hope you can do a LG V20 vs HTC 10 audio performance comparison.
V20 best HIFI audio smartphone
using the DAC & a Hi-Res Headphone doesn’t give a lot of power. so I had to buy a DAC amplifier. still good quality tho… I guess.
but how it is compared with G5 with audio plus??
Just wondering, I just bought a Tascam 60D mixer. What would be the best way to jack that mixer into the LG V20 to record field audio into the phone.
