Maybe so. Maybe I should have said, how would you notice any difference between these two listening to compressed music, while riding the tube sitting next to a crying baby. This is all just personal opinion, but I've never figured out why someone would spend a large amount of money on in-ear headphones. If I'm gonna lay down the chunk of change, my headphones are going to mask out every external noise around me, and they're also not going to let me hear my own jaw chewing gum :)
Of course, maybe I haven't heard a good set of in-ear headphones yet either :) and, for the record, just to demonstrate I'm not an audiophile snob, I encode at 160 aac. :) On 3/7/06, J W <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Come on now, don't go down that road.. :) > > Yes a MP3 sampled at 128 you can EASILY tell the difference.
