No real mention of how it actually sounds though.

Decided to get the V10 since I have been using Motorola phones for a while. Not too impressed with the Nexus 6 but I really do not carry my headphones out too much. However I decided to get a V10 for $230. Hoping I will be pleased since I use PowerAmp as a music player.

firstly i want to say sorry for the noob question i am going to ask i am looking forward to buying an lg v10 but i dont have knowledge or technical aspect of sound quality  like high gain low gain , i prefer listening to song on iem like senheiser cx400 or soundmagic e10 without tinkering much setting during my travel so my question is if i listen to 320 kbps song using these iems on stock music player or poweramp alpha will these sound noticbly  good or i will able to hear noticable difference from iphone or ipad or they sound same

Perfectly good question.
 
With those IEMs I don't think you'll pick a huge difference between phones, but I can't say for sure as I haven't compared them. Once you have your V10, I think you'd find the best way of improving your listening experience would be an IEM upgrade, perhaps an outing when you have your new phone. 
 
There will be plenty of V10 owners who could suggest IEMs for various budgets.

please can anyone check normal iems like senheiser creative or soundmagic and let me know the result

Just picked up a a pair of Marshall Monitors cheap from Costco, and for the first time I'm really wishing the gain was selectable. They're only 42 ohms, and Aux mode is not quite loud enough for some really quiet hi res files I have. Did anyone come out with a workaround for this yet? Or do I have to root the phone?

What is the best music player for Lg V10 in term of sound quality? As I know, some of the best one are stock player, Neutron, Onkyo HF Player, Poweramp, Foobar.

Black Player has adjustable gain, good EQ and no ads. It works fine for my non-streaming use on my HTC10.

I use vsonic vsd3 iems for portable listening, and the v10 powers them awesomely. Music is loud amd clean from both spotify 320kbps and my own personal lossless flac files. The headphones are only 40 ohms, but the phone should be able to drive any headphones with similar impedances just fine!

Have any of you had the chance to listen to the Alcatel One Touch IDOL 3? Outstanding SQ man. Unknown DAC, but some colaboration with JBL and Harmon Technology. I no longer have the V10, so take this with a grain of salt, but SQ seems to be as good (using VIPER4Android driver). Or maybe more immersive, remembers SONY ZX1 in tonality.

As good or possibly better than the v10? That would be quite the feat condidering that the dac/amp is the main reason I purchased the v10. And that phone is quite a good budget option too. I will have to try it at the soonest opportunity.

IEMs are usually quite easy to drive as their impedance are relatively low.

The v10 also powers my hd 558's with ease, with a comfortable volume being about half and they hurt at high volumes. These are also only 50 ohms, but the soumd is still pretty impresive for a phone.

Just found out that the IDOL X+ (cheaper than the IDOL 3) comes with the ESS SABRE 9018. Not bad for a 200€ phone.

I doubt it's better and I don't trust my memory after so much time. But that I like it as much as I liked the V10, that's for sure. The sound is more immersive though, but this is due to some "magic" JBL effect.
