I have to say, after listening to a variety of tracks with the PFEs, it seems so much to be dependent on the original mastering, not the bit rate. As Average_Joe said in his IE8/PFE review, poorly sounding tracks sound just as poor at FLAC. And some rips at 192k that were mastered/produced well sound fantastic with the PFEs. Guess I am not saying anything new.

I understand Audeo's intension to include different filters in the package, but IMO to ship the phones with the grey pre-installed might be misleading, especially for those who ever get to own them without tirelessly poring over this thread. Unless, of course its entirely a matter of opinion and i'm wasting your eye-ball-scans. On the subject of source quality, i have listened to some 320 mp3s (80% of my CD's are at home, in another country - back then i knew nothing of FLAC |
