Anyone with a G5 Plus care to comment on the headphone out quality? Will is be able to drive a decent headphone? Thanks

No one uses wired headphones anymore?

What do you consider decent headphones? All I have are wired apple ear pods and they sound about the same quality (good) as when I listen to them on my Nexus 5x.

Thx, I have a Nexus 5x and the output is very weak, I was hoping the G5 would be better. I have some Bose wired on ear headphones that I use.

I tested wired & wireless and the sound is decent, definitely better than the N5X.

It's just the Qualcomm integrated DAC. Sounds fine, don't expect audiophile quality.

I wanted to add to my above dismissal of the quality. I just spent some time testing with my Xaiomi Pistons and can attest the sound quality and volume is very, very good. I can't go past 60% without blowing my eardrums out. Very satisfied.

That's great to hear, thanks!
