I don’t understand why people buy these nice and expensive headphones only to use Spotify, arguably the worst quality music streaming service that exists. It sounds so bad compared to Apple Music, YouTube Music, Tidal, Deezer, or even Napster. At least you are getting lossless sound with those, it won’t be the same as having a ripped flac from a CD but anything is better than the AAC 128/320kbps that Spotify offers. It just bothers me when I see photos of headphones on this sub and then they have Spotify open in the background, I just can’t understand!
I’m 26, 10 years into hifi, my hearing is regularly checked and it’s perfect, I have (and had) tons of hifi equipment, and everybody saying that he can hear a difference, is basically lying. That because I do (on specific songs or songs part), and the difference is so tiny is laughable. Also I’m sure actually nobody can’t do this test, and I have never seen someone doing so. Me neither of course. So everytime I see this kind of post I just make a laugh about it.
Also IMO if the ABX score Isn’t 100% then it means that the difference is not that big.
Since they usually say “nIGHT anD daY difFerEnce” or something like that.
Try not to get offended on what I am about to say, but you lack the experience.
This comment will come off as a butt hurt elitist, but down the road, if you really do give a danm, you will have reached a point where you will think “danm I was so wrong”.
I know I sound like a silly person, You will know what I mean when you get there…or not.
If you know, you know.
I’m not offended and you might be right to think that, but I’ve never came across someone who on a blind test can know the difference between lossless and a good mp3, that’s it. Not a single one. Lot of talks but nobody did that. Ever. Prove me wrong and then I will be happy to look silly and I will continue my journey until I get there too.
You indeed sound very silly.
