I tried these cans (80 ohm version which has better bass response IMHO than the 32 or 250 ohm versions) on a new LG V30 cell phone with the built in DAC and high impedance Amp combo. Wow, the V30 has no issues driving these to insane volume levels. I had to run at 1/2 volume for a comfortable loud level. Bass response is just a good as my Shiit Fulla 2. Just thought I'd mention if anyone was looking for a nice set of cans to try with a V30 phone. (the bulky excessively long cord needs to be braided, see youtube for instructions)
FreakyFredAs a delighted owner of a V20 it's good to hear they haven't nerfed the audio quality. If you have the chance an HD650/6xx paired with a V20 is oddly enough an incredible pairing. I never thought a phone could drive any high impedance or current hungry can well, but damn if the V20 didn't prove me wrong. Now if only they would make high power mode selectable, the Audeze Sine could use just a tad more headroom with highly dynamic tracks.

ElectronicVicesI just returned a Lgv30 for a v20 after seeing the damage done to my wallet. How long have you had your v20? are you considering any other portable options for music listening? Can't wait to get my 6xx and drive them with my phone!
HelpbotGot mine end of last year/early this year... don't recall exactly. Verizon finally had a single line promotion worth a damn and LG was coughing up a $200 visa giftcard. I wanted to stop hauling my DAP/AMP stack with me while travelling and the LG has not let me down (well outside of the very limited and unique example of the Audeze Sine).

FreakyFredNot surprised at all that the V30 can drive these cans, but what about the 250 and 600 ohm variants?

XerclifNot sure TBH. I had coworkers long ago that had the 250 ohm model, but I liked the bass response of the 80 ohm model better which is what I bought. I don't have access to the 250 or 600 ohm models at this time.

XerclifMy V20 can drive the DT990 600ohm. But it's at full volume for slow music and one to two step down for heavy rock music as i don't like my music shouty. But in reality, needs a proper amp to drive it properly to it's full potential.
Lex_v9My LG-H990 (V20) drives my 250 ohm DT770 and DT990 Pros with sufficient voltage to make them perform extremely well on all but the most dynamic recordings. I hear no clipping or muddiness at maximum volume either. It's a miraculous device, so much so that I bought a brand new one to use purely as a DAP in the future. Was offered an unused one for $290 by a colleague, so Xmas came a bit early for me too this year!

Xerclifthe short answer is yes its dac/amp is suppose to drive 600 ohm gear. take a look at this review he does a excellent job talking about the audio features built in. https://youtu.be/1K7oK7yUE0g
