Agreed...

Really guys, whatever headphone you use, whatever brand, specs etc., A2DP (or whatever bluetooth variations of) WILL COMPLETELY BUTCHER your SQ (yes, Google will say as such)... So, IMHO, it's worth it for the wireless freedom (just got myself a handy Gigabyte wireless mouse due to this), never for the SQ...

Again, I take that most DSPs on wireless A2DP headies are there to process the noise due to this fact - just to make it bareable, nothing more...

If you want GREAT sounding wireless, get a set using KLEER technology, of which I know only the SleekAudio SA6 Wireless Combo, the Opera what's-it's-name and the Senn something or another... They are crap expensive though (though the SA6s are not bad for a mid-tier wireless IEM solution)...

But again this depends entirely on the source (in this case, the Tube, which again, sounds just fine to my unanalytical ears - I agree it sounds CRAP on flat EQ because it ISN'T really iPod flat... Tweak for best performance)...

the tube can't play FLAC right?

hmmm is AAC better than mp3?

Nope, no FLAC... Not even OGG IINM...

As for AAC, it can be compressed more without losing as much quality (compared to MP3) supposedly, yes...

I'll just stick to crappy, sempit freq-ranged MP3 (oh the butchered bottom and top end) just for the convenience of not having to REENCODE my ENTIRE library (most of which in MP3, some in FLAC/APE/MPC)...

DUH.... j slade u're so cute... haha.... u know usually how much is the price of the equipment they use to play FLAC? at least RM2k Device to play FLAC, and that also that piece of equipment is for MUSIC purpose only.. hahah... that's how FLAC positioned in market HIGHEST QUALITY... lol...

lol dont la.. i am still new to audio format...

i am not an audiophiles kind of person so i just know the common .mp3 and .wav

everyday we learn a new thing! thanks echo and Eiraku

Lossless is lossless, crap MP3/AAC mana can fight? But same as how VHS (crap quality) won against Betamax (best tape quality), MP3s is everywhere, for some Godforsaken reason...

I'm just goin' with the flow...

Blame Apple for not making the iPod play only FLAC... If so everyone might be sharing FLAC files right now (NOT taking into consideration the fact that the iPod might not even be THAT successful if it didn't play AAC/MP3... Look at what happened to the Sony Walkmans and their ATRAC3? In the end they had to add in native MP3 support asso what?)...

Hi guys, sorry for disrupting your chat on the headphones.

Nokia 5800 VS Apple iPhone 3G

http://www.3arn.net/nokia-5800-xpressmusic-vs-iphone-3g/

After reading some of these reviews, I think i finally know what I want to get. Damn, the bloody iPhone cant even forward SMS/MMS or cant even send SMS to multiple contacts ah? Cannot take videos also.. Walau.. Looks so nice but the features all so lousy, sigh For almost double the price of the 5800, can ask Apple to fly kite de..

So its around RM1300 eh. K lah, tomorrow ill go look see look see at Low Yat Hopefully the TS can add me to the owner's list soon

And back to this headphones you guys talking abt.. can it be used as a hands-free while driving?

yes... it can

Be very careful when you're buying the tube. Seriously after my experience there I can tell its the most easiest place to get cheated cos they either charge really high price or if they give u a good deal, most likely they replaced the accessories.


Btw

I tried playing the FLAC/CUE file on my PC and compare with the same song but on .mp3

I can't tell the difference... maybe I need special audio equipment to unleash the full potential on the FLAC files

Now now redscorpion I know you're very tempted to start your magic but I think its quite unfair to promote ya know.. jack sparrow? I think we shld recommend everyone to get their product key from Garmin. I mean if they want to look for it, they will eventually do it on their own. No need to teach them

@J-Slade : no la, im really tired now. just got back from my annual dinner. and for the garmin, i think u are right on that

lol.. get an amp (and DAC), and a good can, believe me, u'll hear the difference

u mean the omnia HD?huhu...of course omnia HD pawns 5800...but then..we cant compare them both since one is 1.3k the other is abt 2.5k?
