Best earphone to utilize the quad dac!

[J-Zzz]

I have a Audio Technica ATH-M30X rated at 54 ohms. Plugging this to trigger the high impedance mode ( which starts at 50 ohms) is very hit or miss. It only triggers sometimes when I plug it in at specific angles.

But to be honest, I don't see any huge advantage for the high impedance mode. It sounds like all it does is increase the volume (drastically). The actual sound quality doesn't seem like much of a difference. Also the battery drains like crazy in this mode.

So unless your headphone is seriously high end and has a crazy high impedance and requires the extra volume, normal mode should be fine 95% of the time.

My other headphones that I use are the LG stock earphones (which I got with the G6. It sounds pretty good at the right equaliser settings. Just ask if you want to see my settings) and the KZ-ATR HiFi earphones.

BeyerDynamic DT770 Pro 250 Ohms

I got the LG V40 recently and got the BeyerDynamic DT 770 Pro 250 Ohms headphone to listen to music. Pure Bliss. Blown Away in some tracks. I have been using Sennheiser CX 300 II, Sony MDR 1 BT earlier and Sony WH-1000XM3 recently. The much famed soundstage in DT770 Pro is kickass. I am listening to sounds which were not obvious in earphone and other headphones. I am enjoying this very much now. I do plan to get a pair of open back DT990 Pro or HD600s later for home use.
