How can you compare the sound quality of headphones with speakers.
Word was out that headphones were cheaper and produced much better sound. I used a Sony MDR-133 (very ordinary Discman earphones) with a Kenwood Amplifier (PC>Amp>Earphones), and I must say it sound excellent for a while, but then I fell victim to "listening fatique" and since then have never really been eager to put the headphones back on again or found it to be better. NOTE that those earphones sound good (no fatigue) with the Discman and I've been using that for more than 3 years.
My experience is based on a 65W 2.1 system, Sony earphones and Amp.
I find that even my very basic speakers have a more lively or natural sound than the headphones and amp...
Is my amplifier to blame??
I don't really see the sound quality as better it has actually degraded.
I was listening to MP3s ripped according to the Uberstandard.
Not clear about something?
