You can hum a tune in the bath and enjoy it, and ham & cheese sandwiches are a great-tasting meal to me, and that's all good.
With basic speakers you might not notice much difference between formats, and of course ear buds are an utter abomination to audio quality. If doing an AB test between a non-lossy (CD, even more so Vinyl) and a lossy (MP3) through decent amp and speakers, starting with the non-lossy, when you switch to the lossy you feel the need to turn it up to be able to hear it properly, and you keep turning it up and up but it is never there. Because it isn't there.
Of course it may also be true that one needs an 'ear' to notice differences in audio quality. I have no idea what the universe sounds like without an 'ear'.
