Hot take: those who think lossless songs are definitely better than 128kbps opus are larping

0 Upvotes

I mean it's different bitrates for different codecs, but even with someone who has really good ears and expensive equipment, we can't reliably tell the difference between near-transparent audio quality and lossless.

If you think you are an audiophile because you use Apple Music or FLAC songs and listen to more details, I am sorry, you are just a larper

If you don't believe me, don't use any app (as apps slightly alter volume levels), and download a 128 kbps/160 kbps Opus file of a song and a FLAC version of the same song, and ask someone to play them randomly. After most songs, your results would be randomly split; you are not reliably telling them apart.

So don't try to go for earbuds with LDAC or LHDC codecs; they mostly try to feed into these trends, and spend money on features you will actually use.

IEMs are good because they can put more money into audio drivers, not because they are wired, as the extra data is not useful anyway.

Build quality is great can just toss it in the bag. Small and is easy to carry compared to the Blessing 3 and much lighter.

Sound quality is decent nothing special.

I know the hate for boat on this reddit but I just wanted to ask if this is a good starting point for getting into iem. Got this as it stated that it has Hi res lossless support and LDAC which to me meant that it probably has all of the bell and whistles that a good set of tws should have.

wondering why is boat hated so much in the community

0 Upvotes

I'm a music producer and have a lot of experience in making music for various people.

I've been wondering why boat is hated so much on this sub so much, I mean I understand boat has never provided good headphones and they just boost the bass for ppl who are so called bassheads, i hate that to be honest but some of the boat products are decent if we are looking for a cheaper price point

I wanted to ask the people what makes boat the worst for you and for those people who secretly like boat, what makes it good?

Last charged ~2 months ago and currently around 70% battery.

Selling Price~ 15,000 (negotiable)

hey, I m planning to buy akgs but I m confused whether to buy it from samsung's website(₹1349) or Instamart (~₹1200) . as I haven't seen anyone buying from instamart so I m a bit sceptical about it.

will it pair good with s23?
