Well in their defense they have termed it "High Impedance Mode" for a reason. If you connect a high impedance headphone that mode will get activated.

I guess they left it on Auto decide mode to avoid lawsuits coming from customers either blowing their low impedance earphones or damaging their ears by triggering HIM on Low impedance headphones.

The real beauty of the DAC is enjoyed when you play good quality FLACs and listen to it on a high impedance headphone.

FYI: HIM drains more battery

---------- Post added at 11:34 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:30 AM ----------

Yep. Thankfully they are 50ohms :)

On a low impedance earphone i really would not bother. If you have some really good quality headphones which are below 50ohms you could try it out to drive them better.

If you really want to enjoy your music and have a good collection of good quality music then my advice to you would be to invest in a good quality high imp headphone.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] gu2018:
The aux cable also didnt make any difference. ( Its a cheap one from a local store). Not sure if its a problem with the aux or the impedance adapter (from ali express) or this trick doesn't work with low end stock LG earphone. Anyways, one of the posts says this is harmful to the ears. So no point trying this again. I will buy a decent earphone. Zeroed in on soundmagic e50c and soundmagic e80c. Anyone has experience with these ?
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] One Twelve:
Exactly!

The impression people have is add adapter to low impedance headset and it sounds better. No, does not work that way

The other impression they have is using existing mostly low impedance headsets with the DAC will make music sound way better than other phones. Also no or subtle and again needs high quality headset to tell the difference.

Since they can't hear the difference they think DAC and whatever is a gimmick. heh
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] bilbo60:
Since this is the India thread is all this DAC discussion for that variant.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] ChazzMatt:
I know. There's really no difference in India V30+ variant than other V30+ variants. Now there are issues that might be discussed with India carriers and such.

But anything about audio or cases or charging already have threads.

Sent from my official carrier unlocked LG V30+ US998
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] bilbo60:
Exactly. I just wanted to point out that myself and at least one other on Verizon could not do the aux cable with adapter "trick".
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] demonknight:
Please list out the steps you did to connect. could be a faulty impedance adapter. the first one i got from ali express did not work and i got a refund and next time i bought a slightly more expensive which worked just fine.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] gu2018:
Interesting. mine is also from ali express. Here are the steps.

connect aux adapter to the impedance adapter. then connect earphone to the aux adapter. now connect the impedance adapter to the phone headphone jack. looks like its a faulty one which doesn't do anything. i will return it and ask for a refund. i am not going order any other impedance adapter. it will take a long time to arrive and no guarantee it will work.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] demonknight:
Please do this:

1) Connect impedance adapter into the aux adapter [not the other way around]

2) Phone should trigger HIM.

3) Remove only the impedance adapter leaving the aux extension cable attached in the phone

4) Now connect the headphone jack into the aux extension cable.

5) Enjoy

6) Keep L&R balance at 50% and slowly increase volume.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] Phreaky:
The exact procedure is listed by demonknight in his post here :https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=75420100&postcount=317

Quite easy to follow and please compare your steps with that. No point blaming the adapter
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] bilbo60:
This trick doesn't work will all variants. If you have a set of low impedance headphones, see if your impedance adapter will trigger the HIM with them.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] Phreaky:
Hey Bilbo! Agree - but my point was just follow the steps right and then blame the product :p
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] bilbo60:
Of course, I was trying to show another way to test the impedance adapter. We are all just trying to help. Thanks.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] Sid@developer:
Hope this is true.... Fingers Crossed
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] gu2018:
wow. that did the trick. thanks a lot demonknight. however the quality is not great. may be because its a cheap 55 rs aux cable. ( all the local stores have only this cheap one). or it could be because the earphone is not good. (its the stock LG earphone with v30+). anyways the aux cable you referred to in ali express is sold out.

one last question, if you dont mind. in one of the posts you mentioned its harmful to ears when used with low end earphones. ( i presume the lg earphone can be considered low end). is it a guess or any theory to back it up?
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] demonknight:
Glad it worked out for you. I did say it usually will not be worth the trouble.

The link i sent was just to give you an idea on what to look out for :)

As for the theory of this whole being harmful to your ears, well the kind of volume it puts out into devices which are not accustomed to such levels could lead to harm. But i leave it to your discretion.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] One Twelve:
Try with

MX

Better than the junk local stores sell

Guessing that overdriving low impedance earphones will damage the earphones at some point.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] ravi_blade:
May i know which impedance adapter you have used?(75 ohms or 150ohms)
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] shethsa:
Sorry to be a bit off topic - but wanted to know which browser you'll guys use? Any strong recommendations?
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] gu2018:
I had ordered 75 ohm. ( Nothing written on it. Cant make out the actual ohm)

Anyways, I have stopped this experimentation. (As I said, it works. Thanks everyone for the help. But my aux and the stock earphone are not of great quality). I bought soundmagic e80c IEM ( apparently 64 ohm). They sound exceptional on my lenovo x1 carbon laptop. But not so great on my lgv30+. I will wait for a few more days and see if it improves.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] ravi_blade:
I had the same opinion about the audio on this device. Got better audio on my laptop. Thanls for the info.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] mehra1:
You can use samsung browser or chrome... I use both.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] One Twelve:
I wonder why that is. Not so great on the V30 sounds like the profile is flat maybe the lenovo is tweaking things a bit.

What genre of music was it ?

Try with different genres and see what changes

Listen from 5:30
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] gu2018:
This is for all the genre. Not sure why the difference in quality. In fact the stock LG low impedance earphone produces almost the same result in lgv30. I thought lg v30 would wow me in high impedance mode. Surprised with the quality because of the hype around the dac.

Thanks for that link. Will go through that.

LG Lens seems interesting....?

[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] gu2018:
Interestingly LG has hiked the price by 3k. (One of my friends was waiting for a price drop and this happened :)). This is the first time I am seeing an increase in mobile phones. Cant be because of budget because this is made in India. ( even the importers like apple google etc have absorbed the import duty so far)
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] One Twelve:
Indeed they have, that's interesting. 48k now.

Price drop ? 45k at launch is a major price drop. I was expecting a 60k launch price
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] ChazzMatt:
Right. The price had already dropped! It was a pre-drop. 45k rupees was ridiculously low price compared to prices in other countries for this phone.

As comparison, 45k rupees is $700 right now. 48k is $747. So, even at 48k, the India V30+ is still less expensive than currently in U.S ($775). And it launched at 45k in India when the US998 V30+ was selling for $920. Even the US998 V30 was selling for $800-$820 at the time.

There's a user in the other threads that keeps saying he's also waiting for "price drop". Right now the open market US998 V30 is $675 and the V30+ is $775 (and out of stock on B&H Photo, but you can preorder at that price). That's $140 - $150 price drop from launch for both the V30/V30+. I don't know what "magic number" price he's waiting for. Yeah if you wait a YEAR, you might get it for $500... But look at year-old models. LG V20, Galaxy Note 7. Do you want those?

I think in India LG is just boosting the price back up somewhat to reflect the value of the phone. The launch price was artificially low to get early adoption. Also to show India users what a sham the OnePlus 5T is compared to the V30+. There's really no comparison in specs.

I bought two US998 V30 and a US998 V30+ and due to LG limited time $400 rebate -- if you bought two devices and a friend sold me her extra V30 at the "rebate" price -- I managed to get all three for $650 average price. But I still haven't received the $400 rebate yet. Takes 8 weeks from the time you apply. When I get the $400 rebate, I'll be OK -- but until then I still paid $800 (V30), $920 (V30+) and $600 (2nd V30).

You all got the V30+ for $700 without having to buy more than one, and without having to wait 2 months for a rebate in the mail.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] One Twelve:
For the first time i see the early adopters get rewarded, for so long now its been the reverse. This rise could be an temporary though whilst stock builds back up and the price reverts back again.

Or 45k could just be a one time only introductory amazon India exclusive.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] gu2018:
Yah absolutely. The price was ridiculously low to begin with. But mobile phone price never goes up. I have never come across any instance in the past. ( all brands included). Thats what i was referring to. My friend is very upset that he didn't buy. (Of course its not a lot. But you want to buy at the best price). He cant keep waiting. Because by then we will have new phones like samsung s9 etc.

---------- Post added at 04:23 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:19 PM ----------

Yah. good point. Feels good. This will also help increase the resale value.

Look at pixel 2 xl. Massive drop in just 1 month. The early adopters will feel cheated.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] One Twelve:
What was the launch 2XL price and how much is it now
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] Sid@developer:
I went to a local mobile store here... And Asked for LG v30+... They told its 50k....Which means....In Amazon...LG was selling as Introductory Price or something....
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] One Twelve:
Aha, that's the clue.

LG might have upped the price to compete with the S9. Which means it will remain at that price (could even climb further depending on expected S9 & plus launch prices) and stay high for at least a couple of months after the S9 comes out.

Let's see if this theory holds
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] ankit360:
With increase in price i will definitely go for s8 :-p. V30 is great phone but work only on selected lte band also company is less interest in adding feature like a airtel / volte and no oreo,. What is wrong with lg? This is their flagship model right?
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] One Twelve:
Maybe they do the volte for voda and airtel in the oreo update ?

Wait for user confirmation before buying

Arriving tonight!
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] galaxy_universal:
Hello, I recieved my V30+ yesterday after ordering on 16th. It is Made in India , with Dual SIM.No B&O phones, get the cheaper LG ones.

Good things first,:awesome device feels great to hold, its like a s8 body with a pixel 2 screen. UI is fluid. No hiccups.

Next thing I see after playing around with the device is the gap where I can see light where the side meets the front bezel. Its also was apparent in the dark. After sometime I also saw a big vertical line in the middle of the screen.which looked like a apparent OLED issue.My WORST fears were confirmed especially after reading so many stories reg the PIXEL 2 XL screen from LG and also the apparent price ( 45 K almost 8K cheaper than Galaxy s8 and 15K cheaper than the Pixel2 XL).

SO, I have contacted Amazon and waiting for a replacement. Lets see how that goes. Really hope this is a one off.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] shethsa:
Whoa! Good luck. I'm now apprehensive of my guy tonight. Was amazon responsive? You should write a review probably just to make lg aware.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] galaxy_universal:
Yes they were. Im expecting the guy tomorrow morning for an inspection, and hopefully will get a replacement soon.

Rest assured Ill post how it goes and replacement unit.

I am new to XDA after 2 years with my iPhone 6s, and going back to android, and Im kinda really skeptical of what LG has compromised in order to keep the low price point. This was a device I was waiting for for 3 months and its been a bad start. We really shouldnt be seeing gaps, and faint light seeping through the side (makes you wonder how this affects IP rating).

Again, to re iterate, hoping this is a one off and hopefully others will have no issues with their devices.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] shethsa:
