Summary

WAV and MP3

WAV is an audio format developed by Microsoft. The standard WAV is also the format of CD. Therefore, audios contained in the standard WAV can present the quality of CD. WAV is uncompressed, without any loss of audio data. Generally, the file size is large.

MP3 is an audio format for lossy data compression. It can reduce over 90% of the original audio file, suitably used in mobile devices. Yet, through data compression, the MP3 file will be frequency cutoff. The defects are not obvious in the low-end sound cards or speakers while they are hard to be ignored in the Hi-Fi speakers or earphone.

Simply, WAV is uncompressed, high quality and space-consuming. The format MP3 can save storage space although the quality is not better than WAV. If your storage space is not enough, take MP3 as the priority.
