I know its not a problem with every unit but after so many models having reported issues its hard to ignore, and sad since Im a big fan of the LG v series. The axon 7 as a phone (not talking about SQ) overall to me is nicer to the v series because of the much better battery life and really great screen I really am a fan of that saturated look that oled screens provide with great black colors and its hard to enjoy your music with a dead battery. I do miss the secondary screen though I took it for granted but its nice having notification not pop up on the main screen, the other thing I miss is the more neutral sound of the v10 the axon is a bit more bottom heavy and the treble somehow sounds a little sharper. Overall the tonal balance of the axon 7 is not my usual preferred one for more critical listening but for mobile use it within my tolerance level.
I typically use my JH-13, TG334 and K10UA with my smartphones. Ironically I had ordered an ifi iematch before this whole bootloop on impulse and was wondering if I actually would use it now I can see if it can reduce the axon 7 noise that I can hear very faintly sometimes. Im also considering a Audioquest dragonfly red as alternative sound to have to choose from besides what the axon 7 gives since I spent less than on the phone in the first place.
Yes I noticed the Axon 7 to be bottom heavy too. V20 sound is leaps and bounds better than Axon. Your gonna miss your treble. Especially since you have high end high quality iems, they will make v20 even better.
It sounds crazy to get the dragonfly. Your going backwards. By the time you try to make up for sound quality you will be then spent more than the cost of the v20.
Just order the v20 from a top rated seller used or new on Ebay that offers 30 day return. If you dont like it return it. I didnt want to purchase it either but curiousity got the best of me. Im so happy I did.
Plus its a better overall phone than Axon. Battery life is improved and screen and sound quality.
