Can you tell the difference between 128/192/320kbs?

[tinka69]

YES. OCD. 320.

[ren0210989]

yes i can.

i really hate 120kbps, it's just awfull!!!!
i only download 320kbps and FLAC nowdays. i'm a quality freak xD

[sparkle glitter]

I absolutely can. It's a huge difference.

[RyRyMini]

No, I can't really. Only for certain songs, but if I'm just listening to a song for the first time I wouldn't be able to tell.

I still try to get as many 320s as I can, just because that way I *know* it's high quality xD..

[ayumixfan]

I cant tell the differnece besides its louder? does that even count? LOL XD I usually prefer the other 2 because its faster to dwl LOL XD

[aqua_crystal]

I dont mind listening to a song which is 128 kbps really. I mean, I know the difference between the kbs, bt I dont care.

[tommy96814]

if you can't then i question your hearing or your sound system.

[kendelle]

I can't tell the difference even between 128 and 192, but that may be because I don't really play my music loud because my family hate it

I just like having the music, the highest quality isn't what I'm out for, I just love the tunes

[Neko★munication]

320 is ridiculous, especially when downloading whole albums or singles. The difference is virtually non-existent unless you have REALLY (really) good sound equipment. And if you claim that you can hear a "HUGE" difference between 192 and 320 then you're most probably fooling yourself .

Kbps isn't even that much of a determening factor when it comes to quality. I remember someone on another forum made a huge post about what it really means, but I can't remember the whole thing. But for example, my Mp3 of Nanchatte Renai is 192 kbps and is REALLY bad quality (not that it keeps me from listening to it cause I love that song, heh) whereas my mp3 of Tsuugaku Vector is 128 kbps and is way louder/clearer/sharper than Nanchatte.

[zyoeru]

I can't hear a difference. So my MP3 uses 192 kbps

[Northerner]

Yes. Bad quality bothers me, and I definitely can tell. It sounds "muddled," if you know what I mean.

[ian lim]

Yes, 320 is way better than 128.

[yuki_unmei]

yea i can tell.
if i'm listening to something and think it sounds too muffled, i'll check the details and it'll be something under 320.
which reminds me i need to update some of my music XD

[Neferet]

I definitely can tell the difference between 128 and 192/320kbps. A song in 128kbps annoys me a lot xD I'm a quality freak as many of you XD

I don't care if it's 192 or 320kbps... But, if I have an option, I'll always choose to download the 320kbps file. I prefer to have the highest quality because that way I fully enjoy music.

It depends on your headphones and many other things to actually notice the changes between 128/192/320kbps and higher... And if you are listening with speakers, their quality too.

[mellody]

If u want to hear the diffrence, i recommend using earphones~
or high quality sound system~

320 kbps is the best~
if the file is VBR, it is a lot better again~

[JackieRos]

nope
320kbps only takes up precious space

[Chibi-Chan]

I can't stand 128kbps... >_< I downloaded a lot of music twice 'cos I needed to have all the old stuff in 320kbps!

[Delicious n Bold]

Yes yes yes
I've turned into this rampant audiophile.

[PetiteMonstre]

Yes, i def. can.

I have really good earphones and when I hear a song with less kbs I feel like ugh

[letter]

Sometimes, most of the time. I'm not going to lie, not always.
