Where do you get 320kbps music other than buying the cd? (srs question don't lynch me)

Smaller online music stores usually. Personally I get mine from something like a utopia

going to buy a new model soon but i have these atm
pretty good, somewhat noise cancelling and cheap for a sennheiser

I was thinking of buying that about a year ago, though I picked cheap TKD ones. (mediocre without quality enhancement/noise cancelling mode, garbage without it)

Currently listening to Mary J Blige - Family Affair on the Beats. Sounds great (no wonder it's included in the Beats demo tracks).

Just depends what EQ you like. The Beats signature sound is what I like so meh. But then I did come from a (not very classy) Rockford background.

Audio equipment is just like cars. There's as much variety and choice in products (and prices) as there are personal preferences.

I was talking about general clarity.

The iPod just sounds... Lackluster, comparatively. The mids are rough and the lows sounded distorted when we did the side-by-side.

I know what you mean, but rough and distorted coming from a dedicated media player? Beaten in sound clarity and quality by a mobile phone? Unless there's something wrong with the jack, that is just bad.

I'd ask what gen is the iTouch as well, but I do find it odd that my car sounds decoding it directly as opposed to the iPod itself; but then the iPod is a very old 5G one (i.e. first "Video" iPod).

If this song sounds good with my M50s it would sound amazing on Beats

I'm back to using my Apple in-ear earphones at work. Less obnoxious than the Beats.

ClockworkSoldier, did you manage to find out the model number?

Sennheiser Digital Rf Stereo Headphone Set
SNRS160

They tend to be a little bass-ey, but basic output EQ corrects this.

4 different low end headphones.

could have used them the money to buy beats.

Soul by Ludacris, new artist endorsed headphones. Has anybody seen it/heard the quality?

Never heard of but presume it's the new rival to Beats.

Googling reveals the average internet punter rates Soul over Beats (which makes sense given they are trying to compete and doesn't yet have the same established brand status). e.g. http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20110327141617AAmo5Um

Not a fan of artist endorsed headphones (no matter who the artist or who they partner with)

Already have them.

Well when it comes to artist endorsed headphones I guess it's more in the cosmetic side of the product rather than the quality. Even if they slap on a ridiculous price people will still buy it.

Think of getting in-ears. Any recommendations?

I have the westone 4R's, best earphones on the market, pretty expensive though, about $400 LOL and that's the cheapest, they are usually $550

 

[Okarin]

Get audio technica M50, best value, an awesome headphone for $125.

If you can link me/show me where to buy real new M50s for $125 then I'll buy them ASAP.
