    They are probably listening to low quality spotify streams or, worse, compressed mp3, so it’s not as if a pair of headphones would make any difference in sound quality…

    Although I would love if they kept their shitty music to themselves, I’m not interested in their crap.

      Quality of headphones/speakers makes a much much bigger difference than the file type/quality.

      I’ll take Spotify w/good headphones over Lossless with phone speakers anyday

      worse, compressed mp3

      Everyone who claims they can distinguish 192kbps mp3 from uncompressed audio can also hear the flea cough, as we say in German.

          Quoting the top comments from that video, not even cherry-picking:

          [Please explain] in-depth, what differences you are hearing and where you are hearing them

          The “320 kbps MP3s” [used in the test] are either poorly encoded or possibly recompressed

          I can only tell the difference on songs that I know.

          It’s usually the highs where the difference is

          (Meaning that the difference is only audible when you’re quite young.)

          please make a video on the differences you hear! I can’t recognise them at all

          This is such a flex

          please show us what you’re listening for!

          This should give you an idea that this guy’s performance is not ordinary, and certainly out of the leage of “anybody with a pulse”.

      Phone speakers these days are fairly decent. Will good headphones/speakers with a good DAC and AMP and a lossless audio file sound better? Well, duh. Are phone speakers adequate for the vast majority of people who aren’t audiosnobs, sorry, audiophiles? Also yes. Just don’t be that asshole using speakers in public spaces.
