My wife who is a technophobe can hear the difference between flac and mp3.
I dont mean this as a personal attack timmmay but how can you run a website that reviews the sound of various headphones when you cant tell the difference between lossless and mp3?
Sometimes people hear what they want to hear. The studies I read (a few years back now) said most people couldn't tell the difference, and some preferred the mp3. I haven't done a comparison in a few years, so I can't say for sure I can't hear a difference, I should try it some time with my headphones and my speakers. I honestly don't know where my CDs are, probably in a box somewhere I guess.
Anyway, when testing headphones it doesn't matter what your source is, so long as it's consistent between headphones. I don't really review all that many headphones, mostly my users do that. Though I have reviewed, owned, and listened to more headphones in the past couple of years than most people will ever see. Unfortunately not the really nice headphones :(
