The good thing about being trapped at home due to the novel coronavirus is that you can play music while you work. The bad thing is that you can play music while you work. The sound from streaming services just isn't all that it can be. We listened to the same song on the four main free streaming services through computer speakers and headphones.

How we did it: The computer speakers are the UFi UCube (US$150/RM650), the best-sounding computer speaker you have ever heard that is, sadly, no longer made. Headphones used are the Grado RS-1 (US$695/RM3,011) over-the-ear cans.
