A question about MP3 players/mobile phone players

My question is , do different mp3 player/mobile phone player have any impact on the sound quality when it is run through a headphone?

I mean , if I use the same headphone for different model of mp3 players , are they gonna give me the same sound quality or does the chips of the mp3 players play a role too in the sound quality?

Hell yes.

Because different mp3 players have different converters and signal processing meaning different quality outputs between brands and models.

If you want best audio playback on a computer, I suggest making a .WAV and uploading to Itunes and converting to one of the Apple/Windows playable formats they use, also playing at 50% lower then full volume would help cancel out some of the distortion you may hear if you really want to go a step further, I suggest buying a vinyl player haha.

The sound quality would be unaudible if you haven't had experience in minor differences like that, but a simple answer would be no.

I use a presonus sundcard by focusrite, it has good sound quality and the DACs are very good, but some people would go to the extreme of buying the best DACs they could afford, and realise that their soundcard is the problem, or their cables etc.

If your sound is good on studio monitors, and you have a decent soundcard, then great.

No need to pay for shit you will hardly hear any difference from really, like half of the gear Sony sells lol.

for mp3 players and phones theres no better headphone than koss porta pro. its cheap, sounds ok, its easy driven (save battery), easy on the ears (both sound and feel), looks grosse, and its open so that it annoys everyone around u with high treble (this is a good thing).

Thanks for the reply guys!
Now I know why the Sennheiser clips on my Samsung..

But the question is.. Why did the headphone clip? Or was it the samsung that clipped?

Be Cool!

by the word clipped im guessin you mean distorted above the speakers' optimal volume level you like music loud man.

Buy better headphones, it is the headphones that clipped, but the samsung device is limited because of its DACs' and therefore, no matter what u do, u'll still have a bit of bad quality sound, but hey what the hell its only for listening to right
