What is in the headset H3 of the B & 0 good device for V20?
Why Sony or Bose headphones not good like B & 0 ?

    the truth, 27 Aug 2016please.. don't be audiophools. see here for scientific fac... moreIt doesn't say useless, it says that it is questionable.
    And it is right. In most cases Hi-Res audio doesn't make to much sense. Especially in case of music kind you listen usually.

      Rafe Firmani, 24 Aug 2016Me. HTC lovers are quitely brilliant minorityStill looking for a phone that sounds as LOUD and CLEAR as my former HTC ONE!
      And I am not talking about the sound with headphones plugged in - I want a phone that's loud and good sounding even when it rings! Is there any out there???

        I love what I hear so far about the sound capabilities of the V20 but they MUST deliver on battery capacity and stamina. I hope LG give this phone a 4000+mAh battery. Personally I will like to see even a more beefier 5000mAh battery.. making it an instant selling point and a draw to many and power users.
        Though the Axon 7 and Note7 appeal to me greatly..will be holding off buying any phone. I want to see V20, 2016 Nexus devices and a few late Chinese OEMs releases.

            AnonD-78867, 25 Aug 2016Get a clue, that's not how it works. 44100Hz is the samplin... moreNyquist–Shannon sampling theorem says the sampling frequency must be greater than twice the maximum frequency one wishes to reproduce. Since human hearing range is roughly 20 Hz to 20,000 Hz, the sampling rate had to be greater than 40 kHz.

            In addition, signals must be low-pass filtered before sampling to avoid aliasing. While an ideal low-pass filter would perfectly pass frequencies below 20 kHz (without attenuating them) and perfectly cut off frequencies above 20 kHz, in practice a transition band is necessary, where frequencies are partly attenuated. The wider this transition band is, the easier and more economical it is to make an anti-aliasing filter. The 44.1 kHz sampling frequency allows for a 2.05 kHz transition band.

              Anonymous, 25 Aug 2016anything above 16 bits 44100Hz is useless. i agree with you... moreIts usually shorter than that 20-20kHz range, but you skipped that bit rate.

All 44100 samples in a second could just contain a 800Hz monotone.

                    LG should think about making LG V20 mini/compact but with same hardware cpu/gpu, same camera(maybe xenon), RAM 4 GB, display 4,7 - 5. Resolution 1080 x 1920 pixels, 128-135mm x 65-70 mm x 8-9 mm, 130-150g, maybe water, dust resistant, metal body, good battery. Make better version of Sony Z5C ;) Atm there is no good high spec 4,7-5,0 small/mid dimensions smartphone.

                            AnonD-257092, 25 Aug 2016yeah but your audigy se is big like a phone so ofc it will ... moreI don't think you got the point, I'm not saying it should be like this, I'm just saying that a 384 kHz 32 bit DAC is prioritizing wrong things in audio, a DAC of lower specs for sample rate and bit depth can be a lot better in some cases (that's where I compared the older and lower sample rate Audigy one to the Realtech soundcards). Hope they just added that DAC there because it's the best they could, and they'll focus a lot on the rest that make the sound good, instead of just specific specs that are just bragging rights.

                            As a parallel, think about a 4K screen with terrible contrast and color rendering, low viewing angles on top of that, scratched even, so it smudges details. Now get a Full HD one with great color reproduction, wide viewing angle and contrast. You'll find the later better looking than the former right? Hope this clears things up, it's more like this that I mean

Can you imagine them selling a phone and not talk about its features? Smartphones are so similar in many respects so LG (and other manufacturers for that matter) is simply highlighting what makes their products stand out from the rest, be it a novel feature or a groundbreaking one.

                              If you don't want to hear them marketing stunts, cover your ears.

                                    AnonD-551566, 24 Aug 2016oh don't get me wrong there mate, i'm not stating that non-... moreMany people don't want to waste money on phones every year. But of course, the marketing want to convince people to buy new phones every year. The non-removable battery is another tool in the hands of manufacturers to sell more phones.

                                    Of course, people who replace their phones in every 1-2 years, they simply don't care about battery lifespan, it won't affect them. But they have no ideal way to imrpove the battery life (if they intended to do it), because they can't use extended battery.

                                    There are absolutely no pros of non-removable battery. Removable battery only has pros.

                                    Power banks and battery cases are not alternatives for the removable battery. Using power banks, you need to carry 2 more things: power bank and charging cable. Plus you have to wait hours for charging. And the power banks nor the battery cases will not save your phone if your phone's built-in non-removable battery has died (because it reached the end of it's lifespan). And these methods means constant / frequent charging of the phone's battery, which results in faster battery degradation, using up more battery charge cycles.

Non-removable battery is not equal to good ... moreoh don't get me wrong there mate, i'm not stating that non-removable has good battery life, in fact for me, as long as they last more than 1.5 years it's fine (i know some ppl keep their phones for much longer or pass them to the childs) i usually change the phone after a bit more than one year and a half so that "planned obsolence" as true as it is, doesn't necesarilly applies to everyone
                                      now my point was that there are pros and cons on both sides and it suits different kinda ppl, but for the ones that already have a zerolemon 10,000 MAh battery in good shape and switch to a phone with removable battery might change it right away (it's still a personal choice)
                                      now for the ppl that don't already own a zerolemon battery but rather have powerbanks already, they probably are looking for a phone with non-removable battery or don't care at all about it, but, if u want to buy a, let's say, S7 Edge u have to take for granted that it's non-removable and see if u can live with it or not, i see posts saying "no removable battery no buy" or even bashing even worse and that's not cool either
                                      bottom line, i'll still buy a new phone next year (or probably early 2018) so i don't NEED the removable battery and apparently that's not ur case, but that's fine, just look for the best phone u can buy and stick to it as long as u can
                                      have a nice day ^_^

                                        Non-removable battery is not equal to good battery life. If they release a phone with removable battery, the other improvements will not go to drain. Even if they release a phone with 4000mah battery, the Zerolemon 10000mah is still much better. Moreover when the old battery's lifespan has ended, you can replace it to a new one.

                                        The reason why phone manufacturers are keeping the non-removable battery is planned obsolescence. They want to force you to buy a new device when the battery has deteriorated in your device.
