TMA-1(headphones),J3, and FLAC?

[jms209]

well i'm gonna be buying the TMA-1 headphones because they're the best looking and sounding imo

well having a J3 with music in 192kbps and getting these new headphones......i was thinking that with this set up i should now benefit by using higher kbps's like 400kbps or even FLAC

so high end music player and headphones should=high quality songs right?

just checking if this is worth using higher kbps with
btw: got them for $151 which i thought was a good price

Everyones ears are different so at 192 they may sound good to you with them. The better your headphones are the worse those low bit rates will sound. Try both 320 and flac and if you can't tell the difference then go with the smaller size.

Please be aware that converting a 192 kbps music file to a higher bit rate (or even lossless) won't get you anywhere....you can't retrieve the lost data of lossy files.
As I've stated in other threads...my experience is that it is impossible to tell the difference between 320kbps mp3 and FLAC. I use FLAC for storing my music not that I notice a difference in sound quality when playing it on my J3.

alright thanks for the input.....i'll try that since anything lower than 192kbps sounds sort of weird to me,even with some cheap headphones though
