best headphone test music image
MagicFlake
My [dumbass] friend keeps arguing with me that Apple,specifically Ipod, produces a better musical quality than Microsoft's products whether it's a psp or zune or whatever.
Is there really a difference in sound quality in these portable music gadgets? Is Apple really better than Microsoft in terms of music quality? Can we really tell?
Answer
There are too many factors that could effect sound quality to tell which has the better sound quality. For example there is the headphones you use, the format its saved in etc. Most people probably cant tell the difference even if you used the same headphones. Also the compression of the file will effect the quality. itunes music is always set the same while mp3s on psp or zune can vary. A high quality mp3 will be better than an itunes song so the non apple product would sound better.
In tests by experts it has been found that the ipod ISN'T the best mp3 player for sound quality although most people buy the expensive ipods/itunes because they look cool and are easy to use.

What is the best bluetooth headset for listening to music on yr cell phone?

I have a samsung u520 (alltel). I am more interested in listening to music than phone calls.
Answer
Plantronics is the highest-rated brand of Bluetooth headsets hands-down, no matter which independent testing agency you ask (JD Power, Consumer Reports, Telephia, CNET)
Plantronics' music headset is the Pulsar 590 (or 590a). It is the one I use and usually retails for $149.99, but you can almost always talk the salesman down to around $125 or $130. It's got an amazing guarantee. Here are some of the features:
* Stereo!!! (many only play in mono)
* Doubles as headset for voice (Jabra doesn't do this)
* Comes with carrying case, USB charging cable, desktop charging stand, and extra voice tube.
* Has external control functions (play/pause, skip, stop, etc) for your music so you can leave your phone in your pocket
*Comes with 3.5mm Bluetooth adapter for your PC, Home Stereo, TV, DVD player, etc... so that you can use the headphones for more than just your phone (these usually cost around $40 bought separately, plus they're rarely high quality or high range, and this one comes automatically paired to the headset)
*Most importantly, the speakers are LOUD (I have to turn mine down to less than half volume to listen comfortably) but can be turned down very low to where they're almost not audible if necessary
*It is the most comfortable music headset I have ever used, bluetooth or otherwise
