::is jealous::

[Atealtha]

Oh man, lucky lucky you.

[eos]

hehe...yes they are awesome.

i tried his pair on with my nano and i couldn't hear anything besides my music. just pure heaven.

a... friend? gave you a $500 pair of headphones...?

[eos]

yes, a friend.

what are you implying?

[hooligan]

lol, I don't understand why people would want to spend that much money on in-ear cans. I would rather get a good studio headset, but good luck! They are probably undoubtedly the best earphones you can buy.

Please don't tell me you're listening to 128 kbps Mp3s?

[eos]

but that's why they're so damn nice: they were free.

You better start encoding your mp3s at 192kbps or higher >_>
Rawr.

your mp3 collection should be ripped at a higher quality rate than 128 (the average to retain enough quality/size) to enjoy what those cans have to offer.

umm..i think most of my stuff is 128kbps.

umm..i think most of my stuff is 128kbps.

On my headphones, I can hear the quality differences between 128kbps and those ripped at 192kbps. There's less like fuzziness and sometimes on 128, I can hear the crappy highs. Can you on those headphones?

Easy way to check would be to try them with a CD player.
