He probably shouldn't listen to music then at all? At least not with this setup.

  Oh, get off your high horse. I played a lot of cheap tapes back in the day. That's far worse quality than any MP3, especially if you're young and buy cheap, normal C120 tapes, and play them on a cheap device over and over. When MP3 players were a new thing, I had one with all of 64MB flash on which I played 64 kbps music with dirt cheap earbuds. That wasn't perfect, but I still found it useful. Today Spotify offers 320kbps, which is far superior to a lot of stuff I listened to, and my hearing certainly didn't get any better over the decades. I don't think I notice much difference above 128 kbps these days anyway. Yeah, certainly I'll go for quality if I can have it, but less than perfect is better than nothing and I'm very far from being a crazy audiophile. Modern tech is far beyond the point where I stop caring about further improvements.

    > , get off your high horse. I forgot to add the sarcasm indicator. Sorry.

    I think you are actually making the same point as the parent, given the question mark at the end of the first sentence (which I heard in a rhetorical slightly sarcastic tone)
