Don't be a jerk, use headphones

Mobile
Who are these people that listen to music through their measly, pathetic mobile phone speakers? What's wrong with you? First off, you're insulting the artist and the engineer that spend countless hours and money perfecting the fidelity and sound of their art. They didn't give everything they have so you could just strip down their creation to static. [NOISE] Has anyone ever heard a speaker phone and been like oh my god, I really wish I could get all my music to sound as good as that? No, because most people aren't dummies. You're offending me and other people with ears in your general vicinity. We're the innocent bystanders that have to sit next to you on the train thinking to ourselves "I wonder where it all went wrong with this person?" Don't be a jerk. Be considerate. We all have ears that work and noone wants to hear your music or the audio of a video that you're watching. We just don't care. I don't care how many front facing speakers your phone has. If you're that worried about sound quality. Clearly, you're not. Go out and buy some serious, quality headphones. Oh, who am I kidding? Just get a pair of Beats and leave everyone alone.
