I don't see the point in testing 128 kbps vs 256 kbps through a pair of ear buds - of course you cant tell the difference - the "sound system" is the weak link. If you only ever listen to music using ear buds sure, stick to the 128 kbps. But if you use semi decent headphones or a Hi Fi system the difference is obvious.
