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

[stardusties]

I'm curious! I see a lot of people with mixed answers....soo I want to know how the population of AHS is on this topic x33

I myself can hear the difference...128kbs annoys me so much XD

[Annabelle]

Yes, I can. 128 kbps sounds so bad xD Go 320 kbps!

Personally, No.
I see more KBs as more room on the harddrive; and they all sound the same to me. Music is music.

I don't really care about Kbps or whatnot as long as I can listen to the music. ^^;

And so, music should only be heard in the best quality.

128 - They sound crackly, and distorted.
192 - They sound decent. Acceptable.
320 - Amazing. So crisp, and the bass lines and drums are much clearer on my headphones especially.

I really noticed the difference when I ripped my own DOUBLE album (official) and downloaded the same album. Everything had a much fuller sound on the version I ripped myself at 320 then the downloaded copy.

To me, anything 128 kbs or above is okay. But I can still tell the differemce between different bitrates.

[Kakeru]

The difference between 128 & 192 is distinct. Above that though, not so different for me. But I usually get 320 whenever I can.

I actually prefer VBR over CBR. It's just better sense.

[PSYCHEDELICOdust]

I can. I'm a quality *****.

[DA1SUK1DAY01691]

if you have it at a higher level, the static in the 128 and 192 becomes more distinct. Plus, most 320 kbps songs have a higher base level than the other kbps. 128 is usually much softer, and higher volume is required, which in turn makes it more static-y. I find 192 to be a better bitrate.

I hear the difference in between 128 kbps & 192 kbps , but not really in 192 kbps to 320 kbps.

Same here. 128 kbs is so awful that you can easily tell the difference. Though 192 & 320 kbs is not as evident to me, I can say which is which. In 320 kbs, the background sounds especially are sharper and louder. I prefer good quality music, so it is very annoying for me to get small files sizes. Greater quality enhances the song to a better level.

I do not like 128 KB/s mp3s that muchz because they do not sound so good to me. 192 KB/s is okay but I prefer VBR from 128 KB/s up to 320 KB/s that saves a little space on the hard drive and it sounds a little bit better than 192 KB/s mp3. I think 320 KB/s CBR is a bit too much because without a good player and boxes you won't hear much difference to 192 KB/s.
I ripped my own CDs all with VBR and I think it's good that way.

ja ne

[kiseki89]

Does the difference mean file sizes? From 128 to 320... they sound the same to me.

[AyuGAME]

yes..i can't describe it
but yes...just a little difference but have a huge effect for me
