Audio sample log with notes:
"A Little Respect" – Erasure, AAC format, 128 kbps – "I need to upgrade this to 256 kbps stat!"
"Jeremy" – Pearl Jam, mp3 format, 192 kbps – "I should pull out some CDs, and make this a fair comparison"
"Sanctify Yourselves" – Simple Minds, mp3 format, 224 kbps – "Hmmm…"
"Shout" – Tears For Fears, mp3 format, 160 kbps – "TOO LOUD!!! ~_~;"
"Hyperactive" – Thomas Dolby, mp3 format, 192 kbps – "Tell me about your mother… ("Let me tell you about my mother…" ^_^;)
"Anarchy In The U.K." – Sex Pistols, mp3 format, 192 kbps – "Sounds awfully damn flat for 192 kbps, I hope that’s just the song or the encoding"
"Cliches Of The World (B Movie)" – The Kinks, AAC format, 256 kbps – "About as good, or better than the cassette I had it on when I was a kid."
"Panic" – The Smiths, mp3 format, 128 kbps – "Oh, well… I still like The Smiths – I’ll queue this for a 256 kbps rerip, and FLAC it as well."
"Pop Muzik" – M, mp3 format, 160 kbps – "Grew up with it for 30 years, damn near wore down a 45 of it. Now, if I could only find the B-side version of ‘M Factor’ – It’s a different mix from the album version."
"Don’t Disturb This Groove" – The System, mp3 format, 160 kbps – "Never get tired of this song."
"Your Woman" – White Town, AAC format, 256 kbps – "I like this song, and remember when it would get played regularly on KOME-FM in San Jose around 1997. I am not ashamed to say that I have performed this song at karaoke. I would probably perform it in public at karaoke. Yes, it was A GUY who sang this song, in fact, the GUY who IS ‘White Town’ ^_^;"
"Fantastic Voyage" – Lakeside, mp3 format, 223 kbps approx. (VBR encode) – "Aw, yeah… Only con so far about these headphones is the cord is TOO SHORT! I can’t stand up while plugged into the computer."
"Labour of Love" – The Kinks, AAC format, 256 kbps – "Another good one, no major ickiness so far with these headphones. I guess I got what I paid for… Continuing onward."
"Bad Boys" – Wham!, mp3 format, 128 kbps – "Sounds about as good as it does coming out the harman/kardon desktop speakers and subwoofer. This song is one of my guilty pleasures, and another karaoke favorite."
"Promises, Promises" – Naked Eyes, mp3 format, 160 kbps – "More of my teenage high school years coming back…"
"Notorious" – Duran Duran, mp3 format, 160 kbps – "No, No, Notorious! Not quite as good as their early stuff, but I can still listen to it – I actually like ‘The Skin Trade’ almost as much, or more than this."
"To Live And Die In L.A." – Wang Chung, 153 kbps approx. (VBR) – "Another classic… Man, I feel old tonight."
"Demoliton Man" – The Police, mp3 format, 192 kbps – "The song that came before the film."
"The Chauffeur" – Duran Duran, mp3 format, 128 kbps – "Not bad, but I have the CD, I could rerip this – I seem to recall being on a campaign to have nothing LESS THAN 192 kbps in my digital collection. Wait, I heard flaws and hissing – This is getting a re-rip, with the rest of the RIO album."
"Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go" – Wham!, mp3 format, 160 kbps – "And the guilty pleasures continue…"
"The Hanging Garden" – The Cure, mp3 format, 192 kbps – "Ah, yeah…"
"The Spice Must Flow" – Eon, mp3 format, 160 kbps – "If I wasn’t tethered to the computer, I’d get up and dance…."
"Another Nail For My Heart" – Squeeze, mp3 format, 128 kbps – "Ugly hiss… I can hear it. Need to find the disc and re-rip this one too… What was I thinking?"
"Blood Money" – Sisters of Mercy, AAC format, 256 kbps – "Nice… (Last song of the experiment, before I unplug and go to external speakers for sleep…)"

Experiment halting after this song.
Verdict: I got what I paid for, I’m happy. I will take great care not to get them broken.
