That's a huge bummer. They were the last manufacterer to care about audio quality. I'd love to not have to buy a dedicated audio player to listen to my music.

- offtop5 6y agoI'm a bit split here, I've never had a good experience with an LG phone. At the same time there aren't all that many oems left, so with everyone that's lost, that's less from.
- karmakaze 6y agoYup. After I had a G6, I couldn't go back to anything less. Now using a G8. If you know/find a good successor would love to hear about it. Edit: Hmm, checking my statement.. Yeah, that's my experience, nothing to change.
- orf 6y agoApple doesn't care about audio quality?
- bluefirebrand 6y agoApple's not a smartphone manufacturer it is a lifestyle brand. If you aren't buying the lifestyle you're not their customer. Which is most people.
- orf 6y agoOk sure but they are also one of the major smartphone manufacturers
- bluefirebrand 6y agoThat's not the point. The point is people who don't buy into the Apple brand don't even consider it as an option. Not the way someone looking for a phone will consider the options between Motorola, LG, Samsung, etc. The fact that Apple manufactures Apple products is much more important than what those products are.
- orf 6y agoOk sure but when you open with “one of the largest smartphone manufacturers is actually not a smartphone manufacturer” its kind of hard to hear anything else you’re saying.
- vmception 6y agoso do they care about audio quality or not? I made it this far in the thread and keep reading irrelevant deflections
- aejnsn 6y agoI honestly just wear my AirPods Max as a lifestyle choice. /s
- indemnity 6y agoYes, the audio quality is better than my AudioTechnica and Sony cans, and it integrates super well with all my Apple devices. Totally a lifestyle choice to wear them in my home office where no one can see them!
- bluefirebrand 6y agoAh yes, because it integrates with your Apple IPad(tm) and your Apple Smart Watch(tm) and Apple TV(tm) and all of your Apple (tm) smart home products, but it's totally not a lifestyle choice. Sure thing.
- vmception 6y agoIt works whether you do that or not though, and the audio quality is reportedly decent or very good.
- bsder 6y agoThey sell Beats, no? That should tell you everything you need to know about whether they care about audio quality. Hint: They don't. Obviously Apple doesn't want to make audio complete garbage, but any audio quality you get from Apple is a secondary consideration to pretty much any other criteria--design, form factor, fashion, etc.
- orf 6y agoLG sell fridges, that should tell you everything you need to know about whether they care about audio quality.
- bsder 6y agoI gave you an example of an Apple product with known garbage audio quality. And you compared it to a refrigerator. Sorry. My brain is clearly insufficient to understand your hyper-advanced reasoning.
- orf 6y agoMy fridge has garbage audio quality. It’s made by LG. Therefore LG doesn’t care about audio quality. It’s not hard to understand. It’s your argument after all.
- alexvoda 6y agoI would actually counter that with the fact that a fridge has audio at all, already places it ahead of most products it its category in terms of audio quality. On the other hand maybe silence is superior.
- orf 6y agoI think my point was that a fridge is as much targeted towards audiophiles as Beats headphones are. Maybe a microwave would have been a better example.
