Anybody got a pair of ZSRs yet?
Think mine are arriving today
Hearing the difference now isn't the reason to encode to FLAC. FLAC uses lossless compression, while MP3 is 'lossy'. What this means is that for each year the MP3 sits on your hard drive, it will lose roughly 12kbps, assuming you have SATA - it's about 15kbps on IDE, but only 7 kbps on SCSI, due to rotational velocidensity. You don't want to know how much worse it is on CD-ROM or other optical media.
I started collecting MP3s in about 2001, and if I try to play any of the tracks I downloaded back then, even the stuff I grabbed at 320kbps, they just sound like crap. The bass is terrible, the midrange...well don't get me started. Some of those albums have degraded down to 32 or even 16kbps. FLAC rips from the same period still sound great, even if they weren't stored correctly, in a cool, dry place. Seriously, stick to FLAC, you may not be able to hear the difference now, but in a year or two, you'll be glad you did.
i wish my 0's turned into 1's :(
```due to rotational velocidensity```
they could have made this a lot better
they could have just said "background radation from space superimposes the atoms" or some shit
this is why i store all my music on flash storage
hard drives make the music sound too harsh and mechanical
while flash storage brings out the crisps highs and warmness
sandisk vs sony music storage for under $1?
crunchy lows

```No, the Beteran KZ ATE or Knowledge Base KZ ATE or Ze Electronics Co Ltd. KZ ATE or whatever they're called cannot be described as having any of the positive aural traits of an Etymotics or Noble Audio or Ultimate Ears or Westones or name your favorite high-end IEM – all which should feel fairly safe that audiophiles aren't going to start purchasing the KZ ATE instead of them.
But you can be sure that I'm going to recommend the KZ ATE to those who are never going to consider purchasing a set of upper echelon audiophile IEMs, or already have a pair of expensive IEMs but need a pair for a young family member, or as a back-up pair, or for someone like me who is fed up with losing their mid-level high-end but certainly decent set of IEMs. I just checked Amazon.com and they are no longer being sold for $15.53 but are at the time I'm writing this go for a ridiculously low $14 or thereabouts. I bought two more pair.```
guy has anyone tried the xiaomi ANC 3.5 jack headphones?
also would this https://detail.tmall.com/item.htm?spm=a230r.1.14.1.3d629e59NAnUUe&id=532149315497&cm_id=140105335569ed55e27b&abbucket=14 fit a KZ ZS5? I like the ZS5 but it lacks isolation imo
These ZSRs are comfy as fuck to wear
Gonna listen to them with the X220 built-in sound, see what they're like
Holy christ, God knows how they got the earbuds on it though
Made the mistake of taking one of them off to see what the deal is and I can't get the fucker back off
On*
Yeah i got some spinfits with my kz, they're indeed pretty comfy.
Though the shopping sites always look memy as fuck.
I was gonna ask that
Whether anybody had tried them
Disappointed to report that the KZ Bluetooth cable is garbage
Unless you like listening to hiss in which case they are A+
