    When you could've bought probably the best under $350 planer magnetic headphone in the world for the same price you bought that.. 🙄 you could've just ordered a shiit stack to hook this up...unless you got that free to be reviewed

    what are you talking about mate?
    my LG v30 supports hi res audio with its hifi amplifier
    Look
    Its an Android limitation. Android OS re-samples all audio to 48kHz before outputting. The LG G series may be an exception as they are designed exclusively for Hi-Res Audio. All the others are not. But even your phone is limited to 48kHz when it comes to Bluetooth. You can still get Hi-Res audio using apps & specialized audio players for Android but not for streaming. None of the players can stream above 48kHz for apple lossless as far as I know

    yes. Hi-res mode only works when outputting from headphone jack. when it comes to bluetooth, its useless. btw I didn't know about that android limitation until you say

    Good review.

    Pls explain the part "Since the DAC is built in right next to the Amp, the audio signal from the iPhone stays digital for much longer, you hear a much purer audio than with headphones with external DACS"

    You are implying that an analog signal will degrade or become impure from an external DAC to an analog headphone? Because of what? The cable?

    Also agree on ATMOS. It does make everything sound flatter. But I've found that it's less shit on albums with good dynamic range. With a lot of modern albums with severe dynamic compression it makes them sound flatter. But with old remastered albums like Beatles Abby Road it sounds a lot Better. Haven't checked any of the MJ albums yet though

    Maybe ATMOS needs some headroom to work well in a song's dynamic range..

    සිංහලෙන් ලියන්න ගියත් audio terms භාගයක් ඉංග්‍රීසියෙන් තමයි ලියන්න වෙන්නේ. ඔහොම හොඳයි

    ඒයි මේ සුන්දර මන්න දෙයියෝ.... 😏

    Do you want any tracks or song albums from apple music servers ripped or extracted?? I can hook you up with lossless files if you have storage to download and keep em for offline listening.

    Drop me your favourite song album link here I'll upload it in apple lossless codec (ALAC) so you can test the album out
