I don't have any reference, but I don't find the Asian version of the G6 to be very loud, or at least, not as loud as I was hoping. I have to use Poweramp's preamp to boost the volume to appreciable levels. I tried doing the aux adapter trick that SeeSax suggested, but it distorted the sound...

  Well, I opened it and started using it before I noticed that band 17 was missing. There's a 25% restocking fee for opened items. I'm going to jump onto MetroPCS to see if I get LTE with them. I had them once before in this area, and had pretty bad signal, but apparently they've updated the...

  As mentioned in my PM I drop right down to 3G (about 4 Mbps down/1 Mbps up). Looking on a few forums, band 17 is the primary LTE band for AT&T/Cricket, considered by most to be the necessary band for good LTE in most places. I confirmed that I lack band 17 using LTE Discovery on both this...

    For those interested in the H870DS, it should be noted that (contrary to "Never-MSRP's" listing), it does not include band 17 which appears to be the primary band that AT&T (and subsidiaries like Cricket) use for LTE/4G. Unfortunately I had to figure that out the hard way. 

Dang, payed the $699 price from the same seller a few days ago. Still in transit. Guess I should have been patient.

Huh. Maybe LG changed their mind, and put the quad DAC in the European version after all.

As I understand it, the Hong Kong version is the same version as the Russian and Ukraine version (H870DS). This model is supposed to have the Quad DAC, 64GB memory, and dual SIM. The South Korean version (G600K,L,S) also has the DAC, memory, but only a single SIM. The American version has...

      Good to see I wasn't the only one under this impression. So I'm not completely losing it. Oh well, guess it's been clarified now.

    Yes, I got the email that was sent this weekend. I guess I was under the impression that another email was going to be sent on January 1st adding more details, but nevermind if that's not the case.    Also, thanks for clarifying that PM4 owners cannot return their original PM4s. I'm not...

Just for clarification purposes...     I think I was under the mistaken impression that current PM4 owners would be able to trade in their PM4s for an updated version of the PM4 (now simply called the "Master") with no additional cost to the buyer except the price of shipping.   The recent...

Ohio here. Have mine. Only got a few seconds with them before going back to work. Very impressed with the packaging and extras. Wasn't expecting three cables. The actual phones themselves feel substantial. Nothing like the cheap pair of off-bands I'm currently listening to. And so far the...

      ...well that's a bit concerning. I'd rather not get zapped by my headphones.

  Ah, okay. Got it.

  What do you mean you've already had impressions? No one's heard the PM4 yet.

  Ah, okay. Good to know.
