But there are headphones (e.g., planar magnetic headphones) that are simultaneously low impedance and low sensitivity. If it detects < 50 Ohm, it switches to 'Normal device mode' between 50 Ohm and ~ 750 Ohm, it switches to 'High impedance mode' above ~ 750 Ohm, it switches to 'External device mode'.įor most people, this is totally sufficient. On your headphone's TRS connections, the V30 checks the resistance across T & S each time you plug in your headphones (T & S is the left channel - T & R aren't checked). Currently, there's no known way of manually setting the gain mode on the V30 - it's set automatically by the V30 as a function of the attached device impedance. The V30 has three gain modes: Regular device mode, Aux (external device) mode and High-impedance device mode. Make your choice below, or simply take a shortcut to the recommended music apps at the bottom: There are several little rabbit holes to go down here. There may be some extra goodness you can squeeze from the sound quality of your V30. You can simply stop reading here and go and enjoy your V30, and/or hang out on the main V30 thread: Most of you won't need to worry about this thread. Most people will be able to simply plug in their favorite headphones and enjoy surprisingly high-quality sound without needing to carry around a separate DAC/amp. The V30 has an output impedance of approximately 1 Ohm, which is very good (using the typical rule of 8, it should do no harm to the frequency response of any headphone ~8+ Ohm impedance). The V30 has a 3.5 mm headphone socket with quad ESS 9218P DAC and an amplifier that automatically adjusts output power to match your headphones. Actually it's an awesome phone, but that's a review for another day this post is strictly about the V30's audio. The LG V30 is an awesome phone for music. The following information is intended only to help new V30 users. If you prefer the sound of some other third party music app not mentioned here - even though it re-samples everything to 48/16 PCM - you're free to use it.

If you see a typo, an egregious error worthy of a class-action lawsuit, something you mildly disagree with, or if I've forgotten something important, please pm me and I'll update this post. I'd also like to acknowledge the developers of Neutron and UAPP for many useful communications. I'd like to acknowledge important contributions from Channel, and others I've obviously forgotten. Preamble: The information below is a collective effort from several headfi members.
