Totally Ridiculous....Auditions on YouTube!

It is as ridiculous as the LG, Samsung and other TV brands’ commercials that show you how great their new TV looks on your current TVs screen.  
 

Wow! That new 8k OLED technology looks really great on my 2019 4K QLED TV.  
 

Makes no sense.

If you can tell a bad singer from a good singer on the radio, you can differentiate between a bad-sounding speaker and a good-sounding speaker on your headphones. 

Wait, what, you can’t hear the differences between great systems at 128 kbs MP3’s through your 1/4” cellphone speakers?? 😉😉😉

@curiousjim How dare you.  I'm watching youtube on my 3/8" laptop speakers.

Whether one can hear a difference in the sound quality on a YouTube is irrelevant. 

Without any idea of the actual quality of the sound itself, what does it matter.

What if what the video reveals is the difference between mediocre sound and less mediocre sound?
