I might be doing the same things all the time, but endorphins make it all seem amazing. Headwind? A challenge! A long boring straight road? Look at all this world which belongs to me! Rain? God is sweating for me!
It's like physical, mental and emotional therapy. Society and all of its obnoxiousness still exists, but it's someplace else and you don't have to participate often. Even if you've already seen someplace by car, experiencing the hills, the wind, the smells, the sights, and the sounds from your bike is a whole new experience. A vista isn't just a vista, it's a reward you've earned from hours/days/weeks/months of effort, which makes it fucking awesome.
Your speakers might make your current experiences a bit nicer, but they can't open up a whole new world for you.
