why does music sound so different through headphones compared to listening in your computer or in your car?

Answer 1

Depending on the quality of the speakers in your headphones, and your car/computer some frequencies could be “muddied” or you could have the sound be “tinny” overall. Your car and computer might also have different equalizer settings so some frequencies are made louder and quieter there.
