music streaming quality?

Not great-This speaker is not built for music. It's not that the sound quality is all that horrible, more that you will easily overload and blow the speaker. I think I actually did this with the first unit I bought. I wasn't planning anything that crazy just some Avishai Cohen, which is upright bass driven progressive jazz.That being said, I have listened to music through it had a very low level just for some background in the car.

The Jabra we have doesn't have that feature. Just an FYI, I have not had complaints from my husband as far as clearness in talking or hearing the other person talk clearly.

As far as I am concerned I don't listen to music thriller Java, therefore Iam not able to give Brooke a response. Elizabeth de la Cruz, San Juan, Puerto Rico.

I am not sure, I gave as a gift to my husband and he uses this for work on the go. I have never heard music over this just conversation which is clear.

For the record mine have stayed connected and held up great so far. Also streams music from my phone...everything from stored music to Pandora to Netflix.

I would say yes, but the quality of your streaming would depend more so on your internet connection and its strength.

No...the audio will stream just fine. You should not have any latency on the audio.

Choppy sound when? During streaming? Check your connection. If streaming 1080P, check that you're better than WiFi G or get on Ethernet. Mine has been flawless on audio. Music, Internet, Netflix, MP4's, etc. You need to provide more information of when it's happening and what you've tried. The question you ask is far too vague. Make sure your drivers are updated, are you on Win 7, 8 or 8.1? Does this affect headphones as well? Plugged in or battery? Both? Please be as detailed as possible.

Even if you use WiFi, the streaming is fast and reliable. I've had it for a long time now and never experienced any lag. It's just the menu that's very slow. It's fine if you know what you want to watch, but it's like being on dial up again if you are just browsing.

Thanks for the reply! I will definately start downloading music at a higher format. As for my office, know my co-workers are in the office because I can hear their keyboard clicking as they type, up to 3 cubes away. I really like these headphones, but have decided to play it safe and go with the AudioTechnica M50 instead. Maybe next purchase I'll get the HD555 sens for home or something.

The songs are actually CD quality. I have it hooked up to a surround system in my living room. You may have to tweak a few of the settings to get it perfect sound but overall out the box it doesn't sound crappy. My sons mother, grandmother and aunt love it.

I am not sure about lossless. Sounds fantastic however. No detectable latency. See my other comments too. Low end was a problem they are working on. I am not sure they have fixed it yet. Without a sub, you'll probably not notice.

You would need to pick a station that is the most optimal for reception. Here, live 106.7 is really bad on my car - I can only hear just a faint, but 105.9 (unused station) did it for me. Now it sounds really clear without any humming noise during intermission.

ariadne is absolutely correct here.For lower bitrates, wma is generally better than mp3At higher bitrates, mp3 is generally better than mp3.Ogg is better at both but sadly, the zen doesn't support ogg.Bladeenc mp3 encoder (free software, runs from the command line) has almost the exact same quality as the original CD at 320kb/s

Never EVER use anything below 192k. Anything below that and your music will have distortions to it. For me personally I use 320k since it's the best format... all though it takes up quite a bit more room but hey I don't mind.

Okay, saying that a 64kbps wma file has "around" the same sound quality as a 320 kbps mp3 file is an OUTRIGHT LIE.That is like saying the $5 phone at WalMart will provide you "around" the same sound quality as a hi-tech $200 office phone system.

Anytime you hardwire vs stream your audio quality will be much better. So the Bluetooth will not sound as good.

Hi, I actually have not noticed any performance degradation on my network, and love the product. The sound is incredible. I actually purchased two, and put them on both sides of my room. Additionally, I use one of the units as the speaker for my TV. I cannot recommend the Zeppelin Air enough.Steve

Thanks for your question. You should be able to stream anything you play to it via bluetooth. It's a wonderful sounding unit.
