    I use it in my shop when I’m alone and want something to listen to other than my tools.

    my problem with people who do this? they’re listening to the worst possible music in a public space.

      I used to do this a lot while working around the house/garage but got one of those small “soda can” sized blutooth speakers and would reccomend, its not super loud but the sound is rounded out around the bottom end and i can keep my phone out of the way of whatever i am around (dirt/dust/glues/water).

        tried that but it doesn’t work for me. my shop is pretty big and I wouldn’t be able to hear it from one end to the other without pissing off all my neighbors with my taste in music. also, someone (wife) always calls me when I’m literally inches from cutting my fingers off or when I’m just starting a weld. it’s a hassle to have to take off my mitts, answer the phone, forget it’s on the BT speaker, swipe 3 times to unlock the phone, switch the call mode, answer it again, then get the question “how’s it going?”

        It’s just easier for me to output from my phone in my back pocket or shirt pocket.

          I get ya, what works for you is best, i used to put my phone in my shirt pocket a lot too but too many times i would lean over to do something/pick up something and then hear it hit the floor just as i straightened up.

          Another trick i like is to wear those wired ‘ear bud’ style headphones that come with my phone and run the cord down my shirt along my back and into phone in pants pocket. The earbuds fit under ear muffs and dont dangle in front of me when using tools as they can only hang about 10cm in front of my face if they fall out, and to answer a call i just squeeze the button on the cord and the mic seems to pick me up fine for a quick call and keep working.

    Yeah. The proper way is to hook up your phone to, and carry around, your $2500 speakers with gold plated cables or whatever.

    Now seriously, I don’t listen to music on the speakers because I’m mindful of other people, so I use headphones or simply don’t listen to music

    They want to inform the public of their incredible taste in music or their unfathomable depth of intelligence.

    I hate the people who get those shitty bluetooth speakers and blast them in public. The people who blast music from their phone’s speakers are assholes, but you could still say that they don’t have headphones on them, but the people with the speakers? They intentionally went out of their way to buy a device for the purpose of being a public nuisance. They’re a special of asshole.

      My worst example is another “while scrolling” but dude had the same mumble trap sample play for every notification, so it was essentially on repeat.

      Hearing two seconds of the worst possible version of a song you (used to before that) like. It’s like some punishment
