Gold Member Username: Arande2Rattle your ... Missouri Post Number: 2723 Registered: Dec-06 | Thanks for the help. I found a large library of stuff on my computer that I forgot was there. It's ripped from a CD at a higher bitrate than the CD, but oh well. I guess it doesn't hurt anything. Obviously, it doesn't sound as lifelike as our performance (band) did today, but what can ya do? Well, I'm working on that. I'll keep looking. |

Bronze Member Username: SnapcatPost Number: 12 Registered: Oct-07 | Sennheisers would be nice...as would the Shure. I'm just using some mid-line JVC earbuds. I'm guessing the Sennheisers are more enjoyable?? |

Silver Member Username: WattsssupBarrie, ON Canada Post Number: 147 Registered: Aug-06 | Snapcat, I have Sennheisers and Etymotics, both sound very good and have a very different presentation. With the earbuds, the music is in my head, while with the cans it's spreadout with a nice soundstage. I can't say I enjoy one over the other. Depends on my mood. |

Silver Member Username: Mike3Wylie, Tx USA Post Number: 936 Registered: May-06 | Snapcat, I would use my Senn's for pure listening, the Shure's are for portability but were better and more comfortable than any other ear buds I could find. I prefer the Senn's to the Shure's if I am stationary. |

Bronze Member Username: SnapcatPost Number: 13 Registered: Oct-07 | I'd like to get the Shure's someday. I'm still doing Sony Cd portable. No ipod/mp3 yet...maybe never. All I've read is that sound quality is so-so. Well, maybe the shuffle for hiking or easy beach listening. |

Depends on the format, Apple or MP3 Lossless is your best bet, but 320 Kbps should be virtually indistinguishable under most listening conditions. My Ultimate Ears SuperFi-3 sound pretty good, but like all in-ear headphones I've owned, suffer from poor fit. Dollar for dollar, I still contend that the $99 Alessandro MS1 (By Grado) are the finest headphones on the market, alas they are superaural & best kept indoors. http://cgi.ebay.com/Alessandro-Music-Series-One-MS1m-headphone-by-Grado-NIB_W0QQ itemZ270194301605QQihZ017QQcategoryZ40137QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem |

Gold Member Username: Arande2Rattle your ... Missouri Post Number: 2731 Registered: Dec-06 | I think there's some device you can use which bypasses the iPod's circuitry and has much better sound quality. I'm not sure where I saw it. |
|
Gold Member Username: ExerciseguyPost Number: 1621 Registered: Oct-04 | I'd be curious to know what you're talking about? |
|
Gold Member Username: Arande2Rattle your ... Missouri Post Number: 2732 Registered: Dec-06 | http://www.sendstation.com/us/products/pocketdock/lineout-fw.html You may or may not have heard of it. |

Gold Member Username: ExerciseguyPost Number: 1622 Registered: Oct-04 | I don't see the big deal, it's a docking station with a line out? Most docking stations have a line out, my Creative Zen Vision M has one in it's dock, and my Dell DJ has one built in. |

Gold Member Username: Arande2Rattle your ... Missouri Post Number: 2733 Registered: Dec-06 | Well good, then you can bypass the headphone jack and amplification.  I know I saw one that was supposedly designed for sound quality or something.. |
