For all you know, it's tuned by akg that's all, no where near audiophile grade. Most likely they shove a small dynamic driver and brand it with akg. Even the mi pistons pack better specs.

So yeah 320kbps mp3 will do just fine.

in your opinion piston 3 vs akg which is nicer to listen to?

i have those 2 and cant seem to decide..

Btw the S8+ isn't that great for its price vs the much cheaper LG G6. I am using both now

surely you should compare S8 with G6 no?

and S8 is only slightly more expensive than the G6.

S8 is around rm3.1 k while G6 is only rm2.4k now. RM700 is a big difference to me. Anyway I paid rm3.6k for S8+ and 2.7k for G6

The S8 can be bought for between 2770 to 2900 right now. So taking your word for G6 current price at rm2.4k..

well the difference isnt much of a difference. Because you compare the s8+ with g6 of course gap is big, because s8+ is not an apple to apple comparison.

S8 vs G6 is a better comparison, both 18:9, both screen sizes almost the same 5.7 vs 5.8 therefore its only fair to use the S8 as the benchmark.

So for rm 300 more you get a significantly better looking phone along with its samsung software features some are so good while some are gimmick if you dont use or utilize them. Oh not to forget you also get the latest 10nm procs vs G6's outdated procs,

While you only really lose out on dual camera functionality against tthe G6. Thats if you even use it. If you talk about your normal standard pictures, IMO S8 looks nicer than the G6.

So for you to say the S8+ or in this case the s8 "isnt that great of a device" for its price compared to the G6 is just mind boggling.

I am saying it from an actual user experience and not theoretical argument based on specs.

anyway IMO, if you wanna compare both phones and determine which is "better", you should use the S8 instead of the S8+ for the benchmark on prices. Because the S8 and G6 are more similarly matched to each other than the S8+ vs the G6.

S8+ giving the 6.2" display itself calls for a different pricing category, comparable to that of the iphone7+. So no matter what it will always look like it isnt great value vs the G6 due to the difference in prices.

On the other hand the s8 can do whatever the s8+ can, and is more similar to compare with the G6 due to the screen sizes, form factor, etc.

Basically all im saying is, when you do your comparison of both phones, when you talk about the the "value" or "money" factor, you shouldnt use the s8+ price to determine which is more "value for money", because the s8+ doesnt belong to the same category as the G6.
