With LG shutting down their phone division, many people will have to find a replacement for their V and G series of LG phones, including myself. Are there any other phones which deliver as good audio experience as LG? Thanks

Not an expert and perhaps nowadays other brands have distinguished themselves in this field, but HTC is a brand that used to be known for being strong in the audio quality of its devices. Unfortunately this brand is on the decline since not selling as much as it deserves.

Well if you’re absolutely opposed to using a dedicated DAP then best bet is ANY phone and consider a Dragonfly or BTR5. Sad, I know.

Asus ROG Phone 5. It sports a proper jack and a dedicated ESS chip.

Is the sound quality better than Sony Xperia 5 Mk. II?
