How does it compare to 192 and 320 bps mp3?

I’d say in general it’s the same, but way lighter than 320 kbps mp3. It’s better than 192 kpbs mp3 and as good or better than 256 kbps mp3.

If you have really high end speakers you can hear difference between 160 Vorbis and 320 MP3, but between 160 Vorbis and 192 MP3 no way.

Thanks.
I hear the diff between 192 & 320 (probably 256 is enough but better safe than sorry I thought so that’s what I use) so 160 vorbis is very good but not totally perfect for me then.
