You mean iPods and headphones? I doubt it. They play classical or any
other kind of traditional music with fidelity much better than what
MOST people had-table radios and crude "hi-fi's" (sic) fifty years
ago. And the popular HT systems are better for music than those too.

Other reasons must be found and they are not technological. Several
reasonable theories exist.
