By way of comparison, a 128 kbps AAC file is said to be roughly equal to a 160-192 kbps MP3 file, with a 192 kbps MP3 being (as my test subjectively confirms) ‘near’ CD quality. According to the information I have read, AAC files at lower bit rates (such as 128 kbps) do sound noticeably better than MP3s.

Audio CD bitrate is always 1,411 kilobits per second (Kbps). The MP3 format can range from around 96 to 320Kbps, and streaming services like Spotify range from around 96 to 160Kbps. High bitrates appeal to audiophiles, but they are not always better.

What’s the difference between MP3 and FLAC headphones?

As this device is portable and likely to get lost or stolen i don’t wanna blow a lot of money on some audiophile style headphones as i keep the headphones with the device so it would stand to reason that loosing the player would also mean loosing my headphones; which is why i buy cheapy ones (around £20)

Can you hear the boom from a 320 kbps MP3?

It’s true that we can’t hear those, but we can FEEL the boom vibration. Good -professional or really hifi- sub-woofers (e.g. Bose 320) make rooms tremble from a CD or FLAC (or live music), but input MP3 and that vibration is gone.
