I'm a commuter and a hobbyist.
Dumb question, (/edit and maybe it's a bit tongue in cheek), but it seems to me that hardly anyone listens to music anymore on anything besides some form of cover-your-ear headphones or stick-in-your ear earbuds or something in between. In all my education on sound production, I've been advised to test mixes on a variety of devices, (/edit including car stereos and the like).
Problem is that all I see are young folks on the train/subway listening (/edit: to crappy music) on the aforementioned listening devices. Even I don't have a stereo on the main floor of my home anymore, only (/edit my wife's) god awful bose thingamajig that makes everything too base-y.
When posting mixes, I've had comments that pertained directly and only to how it sounds great on everything else besides a $3 pair of earbuds.
So, I'll ask the folks who still participate here my title question: Is there any use for testing mixes on speakers anymore?
