I'm a dj. When I listen to mp3 vs Wavs I can tell the difference when listening on my laptop. In a nightclub, it's not so night and day and to be honest you would have to be listening really carefully to hear the difference. Which defeats the purpose of going out to party !
100%. The Blons sound like listening to vinyl. The warm analogue sound is addictive. A lot of djs hate digitized sound and refuse to play cds or usbs. I love the blog 03. I don't find the bass muddy, it's just very warm and velvety to my ears. The slightly slow decay gives off a great tonality when listening to drum and bass, jazz or dub music. Probably not ideal for rock or anything where you need fast transient response but for what I listen they are special
I still think the LG v-series have the best audio for a phone period. My v20 was getting old, and a I got a great deal on a used Note9, which is a good phone and I like having a stylus, but the audio SQ is nowhere near the LG. I didn't get the dx160 until I stopped using the v20 as a phone. It's a great DAP if you don't want/afford/need a standalone music player.
Back to L3... Something I didn't think of much before, but I'm loving the lighter and more comfortable (plastic) housing vs the metal buds. Lighter, and they don't take on the cold Temps or static issues as well. Plus I don't worry about them clanging together. Seems trivial, I know but it is nice.
Still enjoying the sound, most importantly.
Hi,
I kind of want to conduct an experiment with Legacy 3 users because I found variance between my first set which had channel imbalance and my new set. I bought one with serial ID 317 that had channel mismatch. One had a huge dip after 3K as shown in orange line below. 13dB dip in that range. The other channel didnt but had elevated bass. Then I got a replacement sent that looks like the red line and sounds a lot better, in my opinion. The new serial is 413. When I looked at hawaiibadboy's review graph his looked like the orange graph pretty closely, while if I looked at Crinacle's, it looked closer to the red line -- like my new set.
I then asked @Precogvision to perform a test tone listen at 3K and 4K because he didn't like the tuning of his and he said there was a big difference in volume between going from 3K and 4K -- 4K is quieter, which potentially could line up with the orange graph (my old set). His serial ID on the loaner he has is 285. I also asked @Titienne to do this test and his serial is 541 and he did not experience a noticeable volume change between the two test tones.
So, it would be interesting to hear from people if they can hear a difference between playing two test tones at 3K and 4KHz, and how you describe the tuning in general.
Here are two YT vids of test tones -- make sure you turn volume down first and then turn it up to something comfortable.

I have the note 10. When paired with dragonfly red they sound really good when I'm on the road. As good as a lower tier DAPI still think the LG v-series have the best audio for a phone period.

I can only comment on my experiences, but it seems that some days the driver flex is quite noticeable, but other times, there is none. My habits tend to cause a lot of driver flex though. Many others have commented that they haven’t noticed driver flex with theirs.
