Fingers crossed for Sony to pickup the slack from what LG left behind.

I remember Juan Bagnell was saying something along the lines "we have an increasing interest in lossless, yet companies are taking away the most accessible way to enjoy lossless" which i totally agree. Props to Sony for keeping the headphone jack

Lookout MKBHD, here comes Josh with the phone reviews. 😅

[EtechnoTechno]

Excellent video, I'm by no means an audiophile, but too many people just write off the 3.5mm without going into how it sounds. It would have been great if you included a little bit about the front facing speakers though

[AgnisRoz]

As a proud owner of an Xperia 5 II, I'm glad you are giving these amazing phones the recognition they deserve!

The heavy bass in the beginning of the video man

[davidglaze]

How do you think it compares to the Quad DAC setup on the LG V50/V60?

[SpardasTechReviews]

With LG out of the market it's good that Sony is coming back. They're not treating the headphone jack in the same way, but it's good to see it nonetheless.

[matthewweflen]

Already preordered. This phone was my birthday present to myself. I'll be interested to see how the 3.5 jack performs with my MDR-Z1Rs ;-)

I own the Xperia 5 ii and i love this phone especially the headphone jack. Download USB audio player pro which you can download hi res music and select Hi Res dac in settings and it sounds better than Master Quality Tidal imo

[JeffJacquesmd]

This has been my exact question, especially since LG is no longer on the business of making high quality DAC containing phones. Thanks Joshua!

[jessieneurotica]

really gonna miss LG once my V60 goes out. i heard Asus is picking up the spot LG left, but i haven't looked into it.

[arielargo]

I think the Xperia 5 III has the same audio jack and features. And it's cheaper! Hope they release it soon!
Nice review!

[singulartree]

As a v40 user this phone is where all my attention is.

[omarjimenez]

I miss my LG V30 but now I'm pretty satisfied with my Xperia 1 II

[mrheru]

Woohooo.... Yess, xperia baby...!!! As someone who own mk-II I'm on tears 😭😭

[Thevikingcam]

Still have heard anything, even remotely, as good from a phone as LG V series deliver. LG V30 rives my HD800, Hifiman Ananda etc flawlessly.

[AussieCarnivore]

This phone arrived yesterday and I'm in love with mobile phones again. I had a Galaxy S10 and it was just so Toyota Camry, phone feels amazing and now I have to order a pair of ie900s. Love your work Joshua thank you for producing such high quality videos that are such a pleasure to watch!!!

[eunicetsang]

I have a LG V40 and as you know it has a HiFi Quad Dad which was why I chose it. What do you think about the Xperia 1iii comapring to LG? Is LG headphone jack still better than this phone ? Or what you do you think between the two? Thanks 🙂

[RobertMunteanu]

I really appreciate talking about this topic specifically! I can't wait for mine to arrive
