Why do people bother playing music out-loud on their phones? The speaker is so tinny. What's the point?

Asked by Kraigmo (9061points) January 23rd, 2010

I’ve noticed that Iphones and similar phones now are able to play music without headphones needed. And now lots of cell phone users are listening to their favorite MP3s just by putting their phone on a table and turning the music on.

But the thing is… these phones have tiny, tinny, transistor-type speakers…. and now people blast out Lady Gaga or whoever they’re into. The speaker-quality is shitty, but cell-phone addicts seem to not mind that at all.

Why do so many people find comfort in shitty-sounding music? If Lady Gaga, Coldplay, Brother Ali, (or whoever) provides such great musical enjoyment, why do people seem fine to just pervert the whole thing with tiny speakers? Usually people are near computers where they can plug in some really good speakers and get some true musical enjoyment… but most people with I-phones seem to actually enjoy shitty quality music?

Why?
