Anybody using these with wireless headphones? If so has anybody figured out if you can sync the volume of the headphones and device?

You have to adjust the volume on the device and headphones individually, not a big deal some might say but also unless the headphones have a companion app there is also have no visible indication of what the volume is.

Kind of annoying and I know that Samsung offer this as an option on this and I think the pixel 2 does too, iOS of course does too. Has anybody figured this out on an LG phone or am I the only one who finds it frustrating?

My Lg G6 behaves exactly the same with my Momentum 2s on wireless, i just put all the volume up on the smartphone and control it only from the headphones. Never been annoying to me.

The same headphones syncs volume with my brother's LeTV smarthphone. Also the same headphones shows battery life on IPhones.

Interesting, my wh-1000 mk2 do not and neither do my beats studio 3.

The only ones I have got to work are the wi-1000x

That’s what I have been doing, on the beats though(no companion app) it is then not possible to see the volume, which is something I kind of like to know.

I believe if you're only using SBC (and maybe aptX) volumes do not sync.

aptX-HD and LDAC (which is what I use) do sync.

Try switching to LDAC on the WI-1000X and see what happens.

The 1000x are connected via LDAC, the beats via AAC.

My brother's Smartphone uses aptx and syncs, and mine uses aptx and doesn't, both with my M2s which doesn't support aptx-HD. I think it's because his smartphone uses Android Oreo.

Definitely seems to be hit and miss then. Maybe having multiple headphones paired has an effect somehow?

I’ve also tried toggling the absolute volume setting in developer options but that does not have any impact either way.

Wondering if there may be an app that could solve this? I tried one yesterday but it was more about managing the volume between different Bluetooth devices rather than between the headphones and device. I’d actually settle I think for keeping them separate but being able to see them both, right now though I can only see the device volume setting.

It is amazing how the little things can really start to ruin a phone.

Were you able to see the volume with your previous device?

Does this happen in the LG G7 ThinkQ?.
Anyway, moving the volume from the headset is enough for me. I usually have my G6 in my pocket while walking or over my desktop with the screen locked when I need to change the volume, and the volume itself tells me if it's too high or low lol.

 

[neil74]

Yes LG phones are the only ones I have seen this issue on. Works fine on a Samsung or Oneplus.

Can someone confirm if the G7 still does the upsample for PCM 44Khz /16bit to 48khz like the LG V30 does?

Tell me how to test it, and I will. I just got it today.

Nice. If you play a flac or other PCM 16/44khz song on neutron player, it will show 24bit 44khz, because neutron upsamples it to 24bit to avoid 48khz upsampling issues.

Other "manual" way to test it, is using an App like Tidal to play the beginning of the dark side of the moon from Queen. When using sensitive IEMs it will produce audible issues.

Looks like it kept the flac at 16 bit 44.1 kHz on neutron. I'm using the Eval version, don't know if that limits the feature set or anything.
