MusicMan, 15 May 2020Which is better for music, Lg v60 quad dac or fiio m15 dual... moreThat depends on which IEM you are using and whats your definition of mobility. If its more on mobility then it should be the V60. But if you want the more power you might as well go for a portable headphone dac amp which is AK or something that cost above 1k

Hey LG, When are you going to release a V60 Dual Sim Global version?
Dual SIM is a MUST when you do release a global version please!
It seems such a waste of resources and missed opportunity that LG finally releasing the v60 a much improved version of the V50 that myself and my peers would certainly be willing to finally pay even $1000USD (incl dual screen) and yet you are withholding it from the rest of the world except the U.S...why LG?
For goodness sake, sack the marketing team they have no clue what the consumers want and are willing to pay. When they do release a good product at the right price in the V60 $900 (incl Dual Screen), they only release it in U.S only and missed the Global sales entirely.
On the other hand when they release the Velvet they priced it ridiculously and they wanted to release it to Global markets for $750, are you listening LG which is just $65 off your Flagship v60, does it even makes any sense to anyone?
Is this LG self sabotage or what..... I just don't get the mindset of LG hopeless marketing team!

This is the 2nd LG V60 Thinq 5G from T- Mobile. I had sent back the first one, it was acting up. The second one has started having issues as well, fingerprint not working properly. I like LG phones, I'm afraid I have to send this one back too. I'm thinking of getting a Note 10 plus 5g.

No powerbutton/fingerprint on the back? No more LG phones for me then.
Really besides the dac they have nothing to go for them do they now?
Backbutton is in my dna by now : Lg g2 mini - LG G5 - LG v30..
I will go for apple or sammy then in the future. Hope the V30 lasts some years more

Anonymous, 10 May 2020Still people buy more Samsung then lg. That's due to marketing power, resources alloted to marketing and the kind of image Samsung have generated over the years in consumer minds.
A brand name and it's image is everything. HMD Global was an unknown company but now everybody talks about them as they built current generation Nokia smartphones. Here the brand is Nokia which brings with it the rich heritage. Nobody cares about HMD.

I am inline with you on Samsung flagships having better display than LG V60. I don't own a V60 but i own a pair of LG V30's. And the V30's blows away the Samsung S8+ in terms of audio quality & headphone driving power through 3.5mm audio jack. However I pair some nice cans like Brainwavz HM5 or Philips SPH9500 or Creative Aurvana Live II. Any cans over 50 ohms impedance should give better results with V60. My V30's QuadDACs removes many layers of sonic glaze for better audio purity no matter which genre I play.

Was high impedance mode triggered with the BB cans?

Yeah the puns fly, the tempers flare, and after the edit bays close for the night, well...
Yep, you're right on(:)), but there were the round vs pointed issues, too. I think in my case, it might very well be the (I can't resist this...) virgin unit. There is still quite a difference in how the jacks seat (firm or not so firm). The loosey ones don't stay in and of course audio is intermittent. I've never had a phone with a jack as stiff as this. You almost need a hammer.
That guy Jack, he didn't make much of an income, but not even Bill Gates has Jack's celebrity.
I spent a lot of time auditioningvia WiFi the DAC and comparing it to the Galaxy S8+, using $55 buds from Best Buy (there's no brand ID on them and I tossed the box). The S8+ has more flexibility and tweaks, as well as a richer sound with more depth and color. I auditioned classical, various flavors of modern jazz and big band, hiphop, remixes in various contemporary genres, lots of musique concrete, and more. The tracks came from either YouTube Music, Apple Music, Amazon Music, Spotify, or Soundcloud over clean and quick fiber.
In general, I am not impressed with the LG at all. On many tracks the S8+ actually sounded significantly better, surprisingly.,
There is a caveat to this, I am from 30% to 90% deaf in a few selected frequency bands. (My doc and I have mapped 200hzhz bands from 20 to 20k. Doc thinks its because of so many onstage hours and military underwater escapades. So that needs to be taken into account. Younger dudes will probably have better hearing.
I also compared many tracks coming from the phones hardwired and Bluetoothed at my workstation. (Fiber signal into box and out through a Soundcraft mixer) using low-cost to high-cost cans.
Also tried Bluetooth while recording for a client, Therein is another complaint I have about this particular V360: It won't hold a Bluetooth connection. It pairs OK, but disconnects within 2 seconds of the connect command, whereas the S8+ stays locked in until I exceed the range in our home/studio which is from 35 to 75 feet depending on where we are and what we had for breakfast.
So that's another neg. And I can't get the colors to look as well as the S8+. Everything on the LG has a washed out, weak, no guts (to be polite) look. Haven't tried it's camera yet and probably won't. Its going back tomorrow,
If anyone wants to ask specific questions, shoot.

yakattack, 03 May 2020Update and a few Q:
Re headphone jack: I'm not sure why,... moreAny headphone female jack should accommodate the male jack. It's highly odd of not doing so. Sometimes in new phones the sprung connectors are very hard and some force is required to insert the male jack for the first few times. After a month of use the sprung tension inside the female jack reduces and easy insertion is possible.
Don't take my comments otherwise!!!

Re headphone jack: I'm not sure why, but when I wrote the above the headphone Jack was wonky as noted, Later, since this is a scoring studio we have lots of 3.5 dudes, lots, going all the way back into the 1980s. So I spent most of the day jacking..... Good side is I canned the oldest ones. On the way to the trash they visited the V60 and some of the newer ones with the pointed ends actually did work. But some didn't actually pop home, not even a hint of detent, but there was audio plus a DAC setup pop-up. These ones I wouldn't trust in a jiggling pocket, but some I would.
Bottom line: I suggest purchasing from an ATT factory store if at all possible. W hen the paperwork is ready for you to sign, don't, until you get them to try your phones in that unit. Let them do the work, but then you ask for some hands and ears on time to see what you think. Good luck!..
Now the Qs:
1) has anyone lived with the LG GS8? What's the screen clarity like and, if possible, has any non-journalistic person spent significant time with the Galaxy S10+ and compared it to the V60 or other larger-size LG?
This V60 will probably go back and I'll wait for the S10+ to flow again.
Maybe someday there'll be a competitive Pixel again, Motorola will hook up with AT&T, skins and bloat will become user-friendly, Amazon will sell affordable iZoom transporters, Samsung will package vBiots (virus killers) in every kitchen appliance and social distancing will.... Stay healthy folks!
