I find that once you have a set of good headphones, that's all you really need. The difference between crappy laptop speakers and a 200$ set of gaming headphones is massive, but the gap between a 200$ set of headphones and a 400$ set of headphones is a bit of padding and a marginally nicer sound.

based on the intensity of the SALEs above that one, it may or may not be a "snake? snake!? snaaake!!!" reference. Probably just me tho.
On an unrelated note, am I the only who read the "96Kbps" as "%Kbps"? 172.68.255.122 15:33, 21 February 2018 (UTC)

now with modern audio compression (opus, aac) 96Kbps is actually pretty good! 76.176.69.232 08:57, 18 January 2026 (UTC)
