This sound upgrade makes the LG G5 a music-lover’s best friend

The LG Hi-Fi Plus with B&O PLAY module for the G5 smartphone is an amazing way to supe-up your streams and downloads

You have choices when it comes to listening to music on your LG G5.

You could plug in the bundled earphones and enjoy the show as its advanced 24-bit innards pump out high-quality sound. You could stream it wirelessly in uncompressed quality via Bluetooth with aptX HD technology. You could play it through the internal speaker on the bus (but we don’t think you’d do that, because you aren’t a barbarian).

Or, you could supercharge the experience with the LG Hi-Fi Plus with B&O PLAY module.

Unclip the G5’s base, switch it out for the B&O version, put your headphones in the jack, fire up your music player of choice and remember to stop yourself going all slack-jawed (there are people watching you, after all).

The Hi-Fi Plus with B&O PLAY module takes over audio-processing duties from the G5’s already incredibly competent internals, and lets you experience audio tuned by the Danish hi-fi deities themselves.

It can handle files right up to 32-bit/384kHz – the sort that, usually, only high-end hi-fi systems can handle – which far, far surpass the potential detail on offer from CDs. That means you can take advantage of hi-res music download services such as Qobuz and HDtracks, which give you access to thousands of super-high-quality albums, both new and remastered favourites.

In the words of What Hi-Fi?, which gave the LG G5 and Hi-Fi Plus with B&O PLAY module a full five-star review, "…the G5 is so good we would happily put it in the same bracket as some dedicated hi-res music players."

Its B&O-tuned 3.5mm headphone jack works with any conventional set of earbuds or headphones, or you can go for B&O’s own H3 earphones for the full B&O audio experience. Whether high-end hi-fi or streaming from web services – YouTube cat videos, full-fat Netflix movies, Spotify and the rest you’ll receive a far superior audio experience.
