Especially if they were brought up using only portable devices.

A guy who only came on when PBS wanted to suck bucks from the listeners told a story. The theme was love and how to do it.

He was in Thailand taking a tour of a topiary garden. At one place, he wasn't sure what the trees were supposed to look like. The tour guide said "this is a gloop of gleen labbits."

Wha?

Turned out it was a group of green rabbits. Here's where the lesson comes in: Apparently the language the man was speaking had no R sound. Because he had never learned to make an R sound, when he heard an R it sounded like an L to him.* So when the guy said, "oh, a group of green rabbits," the tour guide said "yes, a gloop of gleen labbits."

If the client is not schooled in how things are supposed to sound, and does not know how wonderful an audio system can sound, he not only won't recognize that he has a crappy sounding system, when he hears a great system he might need details pointed out to him! He's okay listening to a lock gloop when there's a GREAT rock group on that CD!
