LG V20 Sound Quality
Just buy the V20 and ignore a lot of posts in this thread and you'll be happy. I have an unrooted V20 with the stock LG player and a bunch of high impedance headphones and believe me, this thing kicks butt. My Fiio X5 with high impedance headphones feel like I need to amp them but not with the...- nickpinla

LG V20 Sound Quality
I recently bought AptX BT headphones with Active Noise cancelling and the difference in BT with AptX and non APTx is really easy to tell. I thought the JBL 700xxt was a decent pair but this $63 BT headphone I bought on Amazon with AptX blew the JBLs away. Crystal clear sound with AptX.- nickpinla

LG V20 Sound Quality
After using the V20 for a month, I love its audio capabilities. However, I am not happy with the high low impedance recognition. Either put the damn phone in high gain mode all the time or give me the choice. In my use I can conclude that headphones with higher impedance sound better because...- nickpinla

LG V20 Sound Quality
Are you talking about the top screen or the main screen? Screen burn is an issue with every screen these days. Check ebay for phones with screen burn. They are from all manufacturers. Other screens do not have some qualities that prevent this. There's a tool called Pure Noise 2 in the app store...- nickpinla

LG V20 Sound Quality
Sennheiser Momentus 2.0, HD380, Lyxpro HAS 30. How did I accidentally trigger AUX mode? And if what you wrote about AUX mode is true, shouldn't it sound better? Am I missing something? Thanks!- nickpinla

LG V20 Sound Quality
I tried the LG V20 and loved it for about two days. IN those two days, the sound coming out of the V20 was pure and pristine. It handled most headphones I own with ease although it seems to have more in reserve for the higher impedance phones. I have an XDuo, Fiio X5 i & ii and this sounded...- nickpinla

The Fiio X5 Thread
I recently bought it off of Amazon and had similar issues. First off, use a small paper clip and hit the small reset hole and keep it pressed for at least 15 seconds. Then, use a 2 amp wall charger and charge the unit for at least two hours. Then without any headphones plugged in, power on...- nickpinla

Review by 'nickpinla' on item 'Samson SR950'
First off, I am not in the habit of reviewing headphones but these headphones are worth thrice more than what I paid for. I like to listen to good audio i.e. I have separates as my main audio system and value good sound. The headphones I have are the JBL Synchros S500, Sennheiser Momentum 2 Over...- nickpinla

New Fiio X5i received. Want to like it but...
Just got my X5i yesterday and while I am overall pleased with it, I am not satisfied with the 10 band EQ at all. It seems to be making very subtle changes to the sound if any. It sounds very close to the "EQ OFF" setting. I tried with my Synchros S500, Sennheiser Momentum 2 and Samson...- nickpinla

Buying an X5 1st Gen DAP! Please advice!
Thanks. LOL the sacrifice was a reference to the buggy UI, sloppy wheel etc. I can live with it if the sound is worth it.- nickpinla

Buying an X5 1st Gen DAP! Please advice!
First off, great community and happy to find it. I am able to buy the X5 1st gen for around $140. I know it has certain limitations but all I care about is the sound. I plan to use it with my JBL Synchros S500 and Sennheiser Momentum 2. I am very happy with these headphones but I find my...- nickpinla
