I don’t want to be elitist but I don’t understand how people don’t notice. Put on some regular headphones and it’ll become immediately obvious, or listen to someone stream music in low quality loud in their car. It tends to give me a headache pretty quick because it sounds like a high pitched reverberating tunnel more than it does music.
I know I’m some stranger on the internet and this probably just sounds like more hype but it honestly drives me crazy.
You might be confusing different mp3 rates. I absolutely notice anything under 250 kbps, but above that, especially 320kpbs MP3 is near indistinguishable to flac.
320 kbps is definitely noticeable to me. I’ve experimented with converting lossless FLAC ripped from CD to various lossy formats.
