Absurdly great sound quality

I own a set of P5s and C5s from Bowers and Wilkins…This app plus the new earPods that come bundled with your iPhone and iPod touch give both Bowers and Wilkins phones a serious run for their money. Although the P5s and the C5s have the edge when it comes to noise isolation (and therefore listening in noisy environments) I actually prefer listening to my earPods now in semi-quiet places (amazing sound signature and superior comfort and ergonomics—the apple engineered hardware always sits just right in my ear for maximum comfort and sound delivery, unlike the BW options which are much more fiddly about placement). Dont hesitate, just buy this app.

Although, you cant directly access your iTunes Match library from within the app, the sound quality makes the minor inconvenience of pre-downloading music within the bundled music app barely worth a mention.

Update: Dirac no longer accesses your music--even locally stored music. The effect was wonderful when it worked, but it would seem the developer is no longer interested or capable of supporting its own product.
