If you\u2019re looking for the best possible audio quality from your iPhone, adding a digital-to-analog converter (DAC) and pairing with wired headphones is the way to go. It\u2019ll give you access to the hi-res, lossless formats and a better-tuned listening experience overall.<\/p>\n

We wanted to break away from this pattern.<\/p>\n

\u201cMD3 features a strong magnetic backplate that securely attaches to your phone, while its lightweight, compact design makes it effortless to carry wherever you go. We also…<\/p>\n
