erik, i got my v30 about two weeks ago to replace my htc m10, which was a vg player. the lg is eons better so long as it's playing in external or high impedance mode (it automatically senses when your headphones are >50 ohm; otherwise you can use a 3.5mm adapter)--i actually prefer the v30 to my portable headphone amps. battery life is much better than expected as well.
LG V30 - Impressions?
Hi everyone,
Just read a review at Stereophile for this phone. As luck would have it, I’m in the market for a new portable music device. I tend to use hard to drive IEM’s or headphones. By this I mean that the bass and lower midrange really only shine with rock solid headphone amplifiers. I’m using a Fiio portable amp right now, but would like to be able to consolidate and stream Tidal.

Also, it takes micro SD cards, so I can finally have a phone with enough storage for my personal collection too.
Anyone else have the chance to listen to this phone?
Best,
E
