Thinking of getting an Apple iPod, but it says on the site they have output frequency ranges of 20-20,000hz.  Is that good quality?  Compared to some other devices it aint much, will I notice it?

Yeah that is good. Below 20hz you can't hear anyway. Above 20khz some people can hear and others can't depends on how good your hearin g is.

Yes and no.

Humans CAN sense frequencies below 20Hz. e.g. A tiger off in the distance roars, but you aren't in hearing range, yet the low frequencies travel far enough and your hair suddenly stands up on end. So, yes. You can "hear/sense" frequencies below 20Hz.

However, for normal playback, this isn't important. MP3s have crap frequency range and it won't make a difference.

The important thing isn't the iPod, but the format of the audio file and the earphones/headphones that you use.

Check on the AAC format for those frequency ranges. (I think they are about the same as MP3.)

Also, check the specs on your headphones. That is the most important. There are some kick-ass headphones out there that can give you 3Hz~40KHz. That is MASSIVE! They also cost 2.5x ~ 5x the price of an iPod...

The standard iPod phones match the iPods frequency.

I bought these phones a while back:

12-38,000Hz   They sound awesome.  Too embarassed to wear them in the street though

I thought anyway frequency ranges were about the mid range, the nearer the mid range is to human frequency the better quality?  Anyway, so what your all saying is that if I stick 320kbps MP3's on the iPod, it will sound fine.

someone i know took a 10 inch subwoofer and hooked it up in his backpack... that way, when he wants to piss someone off he can play JUST the bass of a rap song or something
