Kate Perry question.
The words "It's a YES or a NO baby", the YES, the sibilance and the SSSSS sounds are always more artificial with lower res samples. Once again, 128 is rather easy but hard to tell the 320 from WAV. The more complex the recording, more sounds/instruments, the harder it gets to tell them apart. |

Jay Z question.
The giveaway is the harmonic complexity and the naturalness of the "cow bell" or whatever that is at the end of the track and not much else. |

I give up on the Neil Young question.
With Cold Play, I can never tell the difference with all that dynamic range compression. It is a mess of a recording. |

And there you have it. We have to struggle most of the time to hear a significant difference between the various resolution recordings. The recording quality itself is MUCH more important than resolution.

I wholeheartedly agree with that statement!

What I noticed is that when the woman in the video did get it wrong, she actually chose the lowest, most compressed file as the right answer.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought she chose the 320kbs version in the first example (which she got wrong)? |

Yes, it was the last one she chose as 128. My bad.

I knew I suffered from pretty bad hearing loss, then a few years ago I finally got tested.
Results=Profound hearing loss. I use to turn music up so loud that it would cause headaches and actually change the experience of listening to music. Now I use hearing aids, which helps me hear, but the quality of what I hear sucks. For all you old guys (guys like me) get your hearing tested.
