I think you can add listening environments to this, too. What good is 
CD Quality in the subway. Even noise cancelling headsets don't do 
much to cancel screeching brakes. If they're in a major city they 
have traffic noise, sirens, etc. What's most important is the time 
spent listening before fatigue sets in.
