Whether I’m listening to a high-resolution, uncompressed recording or a highly compressed, low-resolution one, I want my headphones or speakers to reproduce it accurately. A $20 headphone may reproduce everything in a Youtube soundtrack but it may or may not reproduce it accurately. It might exaggerate the mid-bass frequencies or accentuate higher frequencies or dull the transients.
If I’m looking at high resolution photographs or images made with a flip=phone, I wouldn’t want my glasses to introduce geometric distortion or alter the color balance of the images.
