When I watched this video
click here and listened to what James Taylor and CSN had to say about the quality of sound I think there may be something out there that sounds better then mp3's or CD's that I can hear. Many of the artists in the video are my age and older. And one would think that in their line of work, their hearing must be damaged. Maybe it's a snake oil product.
I won't spend a dime without doing research and product testing. I have time for both.
For now I like Pandora and I wear noise canceling headphones from Sennheiser. They were a good investment and especially comfortable when flying. I'm on my second pair.
I do appreciate everyone’s input.
