Thanks for the audio comparison. For me Audio comparison is important for a speaker review. I know it's not good but at least we still can hear the difference. It will be better if the original track is also included.

Try reducing the playback speed to 0.75x - KZfaq does a good job on this. And you can enable captions - I have full transcripts for every video. Hope that helps.

Did you see an AptX HD logo when you paired to your phone? i would assume the sound quality would be dramatic compared to the very lossy SBC default. this is the only series that has this high quality codec, which intrigues me, especially with lossless files like FLAC.
@TheTechnologyMan3 жыл бұрын
iOS devices don't support aptX - but did test on an Android phone too which does support aptX. I wouldn't say the difference is dramatic with a speaker like this, but you might notice it depending on what you're listening to.

Hey man! very insightful review as always, I was just wondering would I be able to run two pk5s in stereo or twin mode if I connect one pk5 to my PC via 3.5mm and then pair it with the pair button to the other wireless pk5, without plugging that one as well? I asked LG and their customer service had no idea what I even meant sadly.

Do you happen to know if this speaker will work with google assistant by choosing a local radio station like other Google Assistant smart speakers? For example can I ask it "Hey Google play 106.1 on TuneIn" will it bring in local stations?
@TheTechnologyMan3 жыл бұрын
It's using Google Assistant off your phone - it doesn't have any assistant built it. So if that works via your phone, this will be streamed via Bluetooth to the speaker ...
