Taking the train last evening, I put on my (very good) Sennheiser noise-cancelling headphones, plugged them into my iPhone, and started Beethoven's Violin Concerto (sublime after a very stressful day).
"Gee," I said to myself halfway through the first movement, "this sounds crappy". I tried all of the equalization settings, and found "flat" was the best, but it still sounded crappy. Were my headphones giving out? I pulled out my MBP and played the same selection via iTunes--it sounded fantastic. It's the iPhone, not the headphones. So my questions are: 1. Is the problem that the music player on the iPhone is crap? Is there a better one? 2. Is the problem that the music files are compressed almost beyond recognition getting transferred from the MBP to the iPhone? Is there any way to circumvent that? 3. Or is the problem that the iPhone has crappy sound circuitry, and I'll just have to live with it?
