Yes, you can enjoy excellent sound even with a smartphone music app.

In fact, we often get requests like, “I want to use the music app I already use day to day as-is.”
At LOGON as well, we frequently propose system setups that are based on smartphone audio sources—not just CDs or dedicated players.

What matters is not only the type of app, but how you reproduce that sound inside the car.
Even with the same smartphone music, the way it sounds changes quite a lot depending on:

• how it’s connected
• the combination of playback equipment used
• how the speakers are positioned/moved
• how the audio is tuned/adjusted

For example, if in your current car you experience:

• the sound feels flat
• the vocals sound far away
• the bass is too strong or not enough
• it sounds too loud and unpleasant when you turn up the volume

then, it’s often not that the smartphone app is “bad,” but rather that the way the sound is played back in the cabin is the cause.

At LOGON, we don’t just add more equipment—we consider the best combination while looking at what apps you use on a regular basis, what kind of sound you like, and how much you want to change.
That’s why even if you mainly use your smartphone, it’s usually possible to set things up in a way that’s easy to use without stress and makes the differences easy to hear.

Of course, there are also a few points to be aware of.
Music apps are convenient and easy to use, but depending on the type of audio source and the playback method, differences can appear in the amount of information and the sense of depth/thickness.
That said, you don’t need to worry about this too much.

• First, I want to improve the sound based on how I use it now
• I don’t want to add complicated operations
• Ideally, I’d like the appearance to stay as close to stock as possible

With these kinds of preferences, you can still aim for a solid sound-quality upgrade even with a “don’t change too much” approach.

Some people think, “Can you really get a truly high-end sound with a smartphone app?”
But in reality, many people choose setups with a focus on being able to enjoy music comfortably just as they normally would.
Because you’ll use it every day, the option where the operation doesn’t become troublesome and the sound improves naturally tends to deliver higher satisfaction.

How much the sound improves can also vary depending on the car model and the current state of your audio system.
We can guide you to a plan that fits while making the most of your current smartphone and music app, so even if you’re still undecided, feel free to consult us.
