After watching a few commercials being run by some of the US's big electronics stores I realized that not only is the type of music (mass market pop music) one of the reasons for so much poor sound quality but there are other important reasons for this sad state of affairs. Namely cheap (as in low cost and poorly made) electronics and bad sounding digital files. What I'm speaking of are these super cheap portable speakers, headphones and earphones used for playback and the low bit rate audio streams so common on mobile devices. Do you really think that music with anything close to a wide dynamic range would sound good on these playback systems? Probably the only way to fool people into thinking that this method of playback, i.e. a low bit rate stream played on mobile device through cheap portable speakers or headphones, sound "good" is by using music with highly compressed range. I really doubt that a $20 bluetooth speaker is capable of reproducing any dynamic range so what is the point of even trying.
Just a thought. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ralphpnj's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10827 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=97545 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
