www.golden-ear.net/single-post/2017/08/20/ASUS-Zenfone-3-ZE520KL-Hi-Fi-or-Audiophile-A-look-At Anyone heard the Asus zenfone 4 and can compare it to other audiophile phones?? Many said 3 sounded real good but I never heard it myself. Now that zenfone 4 is out...

It might be too early to tell at this moment. With LG best strategy is to wait for 6~12 months from launch date. For the price drop and to see if there's any known issues from their users. I personally think if I were to buy a just released most up to date phone, I would rather look into Sony or...

Yep. LG makes good sounding crap phones... which is why the v20 is like $350 usd here now after 9 months from launch date... the bootloop issue and the ghost images don't help much. I am guessing it might reach 300 mark by the v30 launch... But lg v20 is one of the best phone for sq though.

Htc10. Speaking from experience sounds great and the phone is very stable unrooted

Good job. The list seems accurate!

Yep! The 10 sounds very nice. If they only use a cheap or lamea$$ dac who cares?? My ears like it^.^ If htc is only using a super underwhelming DAC then all the other companies like esstech, akm or Cirus Logic gotta wonder wth they are doing... Haha.

I love music and usually prefer full size speakers system. unfortunately I'm not always home to enjoy them so the next best thing is usually through IEMs or headphones. I learned over the ears music is super personal experience and so is sound. Which is why I'm not really into enjoying music...

Don't know a v20 well enough to comment. But my m10 sounds very clean and lush with my shure846 with white filters. Also good with jh13. I like it more than v10 when I compare them. It is a much better phone than the v20 though. No overheating or screen problems. My biz partner told me she is...

This is so sad:( I was hoping to upgrade this year with sd835 chips... TT

Sure. I just think different variants might also have different motherboards that maybe come from different factories. I don't know... I got thw h962 the asian/Taiwan variant. The v10 isn't a particularly popular phone in Taiwan but so far there's been hundreds of bootloop cases and complaints...

I had it replaced before. So this is my second board... It seems like too many poorly designed/soldered motherboards from LG with the v10, G4 and there's been reports of the same problem with newer models. Just Google it if you need more evidence. I cannot be sure exactly what actions is...

Unfortunately this wasn't my experience at all. I recently discovered that I turned on auto-update on apps and the v10 often would update when I get home and have the phone plugged into the charger... The phone got super hot and it froze on me two nites ago as a result to that:( So another tip...

Simply put.... Not everyone live in a big city and have easy access to audition all the phones they want before their purchases. I think many here read this thread to try to gain some valid info. Ears and perceptions to sounds and timbre already varies from ears to ears. This makes things...

Dude. If you haven't heard it.... It's just noise

I strongly advise all fellow headfiers to not buy an LG outside the country you reside in. Especially not in Asian countries where consumer protection isn't as good as the West. LG customers service is the worst I ever encountered. Their quality control and design is also abysmal. I never...
