I just usually experience AAC at about 96kb/s and mp3s at 360kb/s, so I think that might probably make the difference haha.   I had no idea about the battery life on the iPhone, I just may switch to AAC now!

who dares suggest AAC for my iPhone?? haha just kidding but I actually CAN hear a difference between my MP3s and AACs, besides the fact that I have a personal grudge against AACs (long story).  I just gave up and used dbPowerAmp and found 600x600 artworks for my mp3s on google images.

Hi Head-fi! First off, I am NOT experienced at all with headphones or companies, etc. due to my shortage of money :(.  I had a pair of PK-2's, but I bought them pre-owned cheap and they broke after about 6 months, so something with a nylon outside wiring would be ideal (I don't want to rewire...

Sorry, I use dbpoweramp to convert to mp3, what was I thinking?

As you can probably tell already, I'm pretty new to the audio scene, and just wanted to hear some people's opinions on software. Since I totally messed up my other rips (which I just noticed ), I am re-ripping my entire library of songs.  I use EAC to rip to .flac, then MP3tag to get the...

As said by the title, I just pruchased a pair of AD-700's and have been using them for gaming and listening to music.  I recently discovered (while gaming) that the rear soundstage is significantly quieter than usual.  I tried checking connections, restarting everything, and everything in...

I know that, but I don't want to sacrifice game sound :/ Would a Mixamp be a better choice though?

Hi Head-fi! I just recently purchased a pair of Audio Technica AD-700s and have a Yamaha HDR-5560 amp to drive them (it was just lying around for some reason O.o).  Now, I'm not super knowledgeable in audio and I'm a total noob when it comes to audio, but I was wondering if there is any way...
