The LG 8575 Touch features Dolby Mobile, a sound system equipped with customizable EQ settings for rich sound quality and exceptional user experience. Sound transfers beautifully through external speakers and 3.5 MM stereo headphones, allowing customers to enjoy personalized playlists wherever their journeys might take them. The music player of the LG 8575 Touch also features applications that invite users to "join the band" by turning the mobile phone into a virtual keyboard and thumping drum kit. A unique rhythmic beat function instantly transforms the smartphone into a portable boom box that vibrates and grooves to the beat of the music.
