    headphones or speakers can’t add the detail that mp3 (or streaming in whatever format) eliminates. Compare a CD and mp3 of the same track with a decent headphone (or a speaker) and you will hear that compression changes sounds.

    but it all depends on what kind of music you listen to. For some of today’s music even laptop speakers are enough 🤷

      Nah come on, bro. You and I both know laptop speakers are trash. Good headphones are a must. I’ve heard so many sounds I’ve never noticed before with good headphones.

      My point is just that most headphones that are cheap can’t reproduce MP3 quality, so until you get good enough headphones to hear the difference, getting a FLAC of the same song isn’t going to really be noticable.
