For most people this won't be an easy question to answer, because they listen to music in a variety of places. Sure, you might spend a good deal of time listening to tunes in your car or while exercising, so maybe the question should be, what's the best, most musically satisfying place you listen to music?

 

Thinking like an audiophile, I have to ask, does sound quality play any part in choosing where you listen? Or is it mostly a matter of convenience? I suppose a lot of folks have better sound systems in their cars than at home, so I'm going to predict a significant percent of the people responding to the poll will prefer that option. And if you have better headphones than speakers, that would probably mean the bulk of your listening time is spent with an iPod or other portable devices?
