    Hold on, you can totally hear the difference between 128 and 320 kbps encoded MP3s, even with some generic mobile phone earbuds.

      You mean you can actually hear the ear piercing crash cymbals that happen at lower bitrates?!

        You don’t? At low bitrates, cymbals start to sound like crumpling cardboard to me.

          I was being a smartass. They get way to tinny and unbearable for me. Like listening to demo tapes from shitty bands.

      I don’t notice it on any of my sound listening options, never have but I definitely do hear it on a buddies high end setup
