Hi
Like many of you out there, I suspect, my quest for portable audio nirvana has led me to consider options I would have considered at best financially irresponsible only a short time ago.
I'm currently considering either Sensaphonics ProPhonic 2X or UE-10 Pro (leaning towards the Sensaphonics right now). I'd be using these with a 4G iPod.
My big worry is how much of my existing music collection will sound. I have a lot of MP3s encoded at 160 kbps and up - mostly between 190 and 320. (And not available to re-rip.)
Has anyone tested either of these phones with files at varying degrees of lossiness? Will only lossless do as some reviews suggest? If so, I'm not completely certain it's worth the jump. With my Ety ER-4Ps, lower bitrate files generally sound fine to me.
If anyone has any views on this question, I'd love to hear them.
Thanks,
