Hi guys, I've an axon 7..is it wise to upgrade to the v20?

Don't think so, I think you will miss a stereo speaker of Axon7. The difference in quality of 3.5mm output is not far behind just different sound tuning. But I do love V20 tuning more since it is more natural.

Sound quality v20>axon 7? But it's not worth it to upgrade?
How about Meizu pro 7 plus?

Example: Axon 7 to vivo xplay 6 / V30 is considered as noticeable upgrade.

Upgrade from axon 7 to meizu pro6/7 or lg v20 is not much.

"The LG G7 ThinQ also supports the Master Quality Authenticated (MQA) audio format, which delivers hi-res sound quality in a small file size." Android Central

But, this depends on Tidal getting off their rear ends and making it possible through their mobile ap. Is that correct? And they haven't yet. Again, is that correct? Initially, I thought one of the big selling points of MQA was the ability to stream very high quality audio to our phones while not requiring a great "signal". Then I heard little about using MQA in a mobile application. Is this really about to change?

Not plus, couldn't find an "used like new" for less than 480€ so I bought a new one with 64gb for 360€ shipped :)
Btw I can and I will buy a 256gb Samsung sd for 70€ AND I am changing my mobile plan to one other which has a feature called "Music Pass" that let you use Tidal with a flat connection and without limits in 4G.... SO GOOD :D

Thx, a bit old and without models I am hyped but I ve read it some of it and I will Continue tomorrow.
BTW what you posted its not my tier, 150€ its like 200$ if new but I prefer second hand so it's the double:wink: ( I can raise a bit the budget if there is a good offer for a good IEM obviously so better look the upper range)
I have found a pair of massdrop plus but I am not sure about it ( I am not sure about it and they re a bit pricey )
