( 4-100,000Hz ) I had in mind CHEAP headphones that come plastic wrapped on a piece of cardboard. I tried several my daughter and her friends had a few years ago, and they were all terrible. Maybe they have improved; hope so. BTW, how much did your Sonys cost? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
derrickdj1 Posted May 25, 2017 Share Posted May 25, 2017 Be carefully with those headphones, lol. A guy died due to wearing headphones. http://articles.chicagotribune.com/1997-01-03/news/9701030216_1_faulty-wiring-prison-official-state-correctional-institute 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you can find the z7 for around $500. The 70mm driver is the same that is in sony's flagship $2200 z1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marvel Posted May 26, 2017 Share Posted May 26, 2017 I found this article recently. This guy does mastering and engineering for a living. His comments on MP3s are very revealing. It explains, somewhat, how the loudness wars have contributed to the horrible sound quality of the streaming MP3 world. I have MP3s that I have made, and personally, I can tolerate them, but I haven't tried it with newer released albums.
