3. HTC 10
Launched early in 2016. The HTC 10 is great on the outside and even greater on the inside. Its audio quality arguably precedes those of the biggest names in the industry like Samsung S7 or the iPhone 6. Makers of the HTC 10 definitely had audiophiles in mind with 2 speakers, one which caters to mid- and high-frequency sounds while the other on low-frequency sounds. Flip your phone horizontally, and you have an instant surround sound. Its DAC or digital to analog converter delivers with high precision, and the phone also provides a user-friendly equalizer to let you style your listening experience, just the way you want it.
