DAC attack
A simple, though expensive, way of improving your smartphone’s audio quality is by plugging in a DAC (digital-to-analog converter), such as the FiiO E18. By doing so, you bypass your phone’s circuitry and open it up to a wonderful world of rich sound through superior amplification – provided you pair it with some great headphones…
Head masters
It goes without saying that the better your headphones (or more likely earphones if you’re exercising), the more enjoyable your music listening will be. Generally, you’ll get the best experience using open headphones – though be aware that people nearby will hear them, so they’re best for home use. Closed ones are better for public listening, but if you’re somewhere particularly loud, consider noise-cancelling cans.
