See, I said people don't understand HiFi.

Headphones, even 99p ones, are usually more HiFi than even the best
speakers.
However mp3 is poor, very poor.


It can be; whether any given mp3 encoding actually is poor is a matter
of judgement, influenced by the source material and the sample rate and
bit rate chosen. IMO mp3 can be far better than poor.

(Incidentally, I have one mp3 coded at 8k which IMO is more than
acceptable, but that's a special case: it's a short section of alpine
horn playing.)
