Apparently I prefer 128. My definition of better was crispness. I found the uncompressed to be muddied, at least coming through a Bose Color Soundlink. 128 was bright and clear.
- JTon 11y agoI remember reading somewhere that people who grew up with 128kbps audio (Generation Napster) prefer the sound of it.
- JohnBooty 11y agoI'm not one of those people who automatically trashes Bose equipment, but Bose does a lot of processing/EQ/"coloration" to music to make it sound more pleasing. There is absolutely nothing wrong with preferring that! Nearly all consumer-oriented speakers/headphones do this, because there are other models specifically intended for monitoring use. However, it does make Bose equipment poorly suited to engineering-type applications such as recording work, comparing mp3 compression algorithms, etc.
- virmundi 11y agoGood point. I do wonder if Bose washes out the middle.
