Most kids nowadays just use the in-ear headphones too.  The  
right quality ear-piece could be pretty awesome sounding  
especially if the quality is good. But the "crappy mp3" of  
yesteryear that was predominantly only 128kbps from iTunes for  
example, yeah.. that's a pretty bad entry point for the aural  
experience.  However, today's streaming services are offering  
entry-level quality akin to atleast 256kbps - which isn't too  
shabby with the in-ear headphones.

I've always imagined that when my barn could ever be restored,  
I'd have "live" open-air concerts in the upper hayloft with  
high-quality sound systems.
