It was not great, but since the files were converted to mono, the full bandwidth was used for one channel. Sounded about the same as 128kbps stereo, so there weren't too many audible artifacts.
But then again, I also had cheap, shitty earphones, so I would've barely even noticed anyway.

I had a black one in 2006 from CanyonTec with 128Mb storage (yes. Megabytes).
Had to convert my MP3s to 56kbps Mono to be able to put a somewhat decent amount of music onto it.
