LG V20 Sound Quality

Aug 24, 2016 at 12:56 AM Post #64 of 4,149
I'll just spam here until it's out :)

Seems the V20's audio section is also designed by B&O including a headphone from them. Wouldn't mind it shipping without the headphone actually. But it seems to be a serious audio smartphone!

Really hope they won't kill the 2nd screen in v20. Been a very good experience with v10 and it's screens. Fingerprint reader can be improve also, sometimes it's really difficult to get the fingerprint get recognized or I have to reboot the phone.

It sounds like not only do they have the new DAC, but they've also brought on B&O to help:

Apparently, the Korean giant has been working with B&O PLAY to perfect the audio experience on the V20. If you are not familiar with B&O PLAY, it has a long history of producing really high-end portable audio products and headphones as part of Bang & Olufsen.

LG and B&O PLAY worked closely together to bring the best sound to users by optimizing the audio capabilities of the V20 smartphone. To enhance the total experience, the V20 set will include a special pair of B&O PLAY earphones and a set of wallpapers designed for V20 which includes the official logo of B&O PLAY, as a certification of B&O PLAY premium audio.

Hopefully this doesn't mean they're going to wreck everything with some sort of crappy DSP that can't be shut off or bypassed. I have no frame of reference for the B&O Play stuff.

  I think you mixed the two of these chips up by mistake. The 9018K2M is the V10 and the ES 9218 is the V20. The chip plays a big part but implementation is a key factor. I haven't had a need for AUX line out mode for my iems since they already have more than enough power on low gain mode. (Shure SE 535 and IE 80). I don't even bother tricking the phone into outputting more power unless I am using headphones and I want it to drive it with more authority. The Aux line out mode will always have more distortion and noise unfortunately.

Sorry, edited post above for accuracy. Thanks!
