Should I buy a used LG V60 for music listening?

Yes—if you specifically want wired headphone listening, a used LG V60 can still be a smart buy. Its main appeal is the built-in 3.5 mm headphone jack with LG’s hi-fi DAC/amp setup, so it can drive many wired headphones without needing a separate dongle or portable player.

I would buy one only if the unit is in good condition and priced low enough to justify the age. Prioritize: healthy battery, working headphone jack, clean USB-C port, no screen burn-in, carrier-unlocked status, and a return window. For music-only use, the V60 is especially attractive because it is reported to have much better battery life than older LG audio favorites like the V30/G7/G8, though it drops MQA support compared with some earlier LG models.

Skip it if you mainly use Bluetooth earbuds, want long software support, or dislike buying older used phones. In that case, a newer phone plus a good USB-C DAC dongle may be safer.
