    How does spotify sound so good?

    For juxtaposition,   Pandora streams music at 64kbps AAC.   http://blog.bitcartel.com/2008/04/pandoracom-tale-of-two-codecs.html     If you want music that sounds as good as those on Spotify, then you could upgrade your music library to one with more bit rate per song.

    Creases from Banana Stands?

    I'd say that the crease is like a dent.   I don't mean to say that the crease is on the earpads, but that the crease is where I hang my headphones on the banana stand - so the crease is on the top cushioning, below the top of the headband.   I'd take a picture to clarify, but I don't...

    Creases from Banana Stands?

    I bought a banana stand for my cans, but it makes a crease where the padding is placed on the hook.   Would this crease ruin the padding or the sound quality in any way?

    Bye head-fi

    Quote: My advice to you is that you should try to be content with what you currently have.   Yeah, I know, I seem dumb saying that. "TRY to be content"? But really, give it a shot. This addiction is too much for our wallets to handle.   I actually bought a can a week ago, and the...

    How to determine quality of headphones?

    From what I've learned so far, You can use technical data (such as graphs) to assume things about the cans, but in the end it'll all depend on the person listening to it.   First off, frequency response is a measure of how high and low the phones can go in the sound spectrum. When given...

    Need help on picking the right Headphones within $100~200 price range.

    So what do you consider as "good" amplification? What makes an amp good or bad?   Quote: You don't necessarily need an amp for the HD598. They should be fine on their own (check with someone who has them, though), given the impedance & sensitivity. But there's also cheap headphone...

    Quote: So my mp3 player is an iPod touch, 2nd generation. How does that affect the sound? Does it output at a low quality or something?

    Need help on picking the right Headphones within $100~200 price range.

    Hello! Fairly new in the audio world, too.   Not sure about the phones. You'll have to wait for someone else to answer your questions about it.   I don't know much about amps either, but I know that they improve the overall sound quality, making details more refined & noticeable. They...

    Headphones bass capabilities through specifications?

    Thanks for all the good info. Learning a lot about FRs & their uses. Seems like if I want to know about some phones' bass w/o actually hearing them, I'd consult graphs done in labs ie. FRs?   Also, could someone explain to me how to read a waterfall graph & how you can tell about decay...

    What are your secret headphones?

    Swagger headphones. Yeah, that's what they're actually called. I put duct tape on the band, since there was a giant "Swagger" on there & I thought it looked stupid.   These are my latest phones, since I only got into Head-Fi yesterday. I thought that they didn't look bad for $5, so I...

    Headphones bass capabilities through specifications?

    Quote:   So generally speaking, bassy headphones would have high amplitude on lower frequencies, and would slope down when approaching higher frequencies? Could you explain the science as to why that is?       Quote:   Is there a graph that tells and/or compares mid-bass...

    Headphones bass capabilities through specifications?

    Thanks for sharing that. Interesting to learn that the frequency response graph can help compare bass.   Are there any other graphs that compare bass power, details, & such?   Quote:     I wasn't planning on buying some phones soon. I just wanted to know if there was any...

    Headphones bass capabilities through specifications?

    Hey everyone. New kid here interested in learning more about what he wears to school everyday.   I have a question: If you could, how do you tell how much bass a pair of headphones have to offer? I've read that, to state a few examples, that Skullcandy & beats & whatnot offer great...
