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

I have a V20+ SK Edition, and my wife has the V30.  I use mine with Campfire Audio, Periodic Audio and JH Audio IEM's.  Does a decent job, but if you're looking for a little extra, you could always add an Headphone amp such as the Periodic Nickel.  I have a big hulking SDMC Card in mine; nice to be able to bring my entire music library with me, including my hi-res.
