I wonder whether your conclusions might be any different if you were also to take OTG devices into account : I mean IEMs, DAPs, Dongles, Phones, not to mention audio rigs used in cars, trucks, and other vehicles some of which become obnoxiously loud in Summer traffic? Yesterday, I went for a long walk with my iphone, a DAC/AMP dongle, and a pair of IEMs, I had such a blast listening that I did not want to stop walking, and there were often quite palpable irresistible synergies that one could sense between the music, the sunlight, and the outdoor fresh air too... Yes, music, the sun, the outdoors, and the fresh air, all of these often give rise to a certain poetry too when they combine, and they define a type of listening experience that is different from the kind one experiences indoors with the kind of rigs that one traditionally listens to...
I work on a university campus and there is a huge percentage of students who are always walking around with one kind music listening device or another. I imagine such experiences have become so common nowadays that I have to consider it somewhat surprising that you do not consider any of them (i.e. devices for OTG and non-indoor listening) in assessing music listening habits in the Summer!
Well, maybe if there was an abyss IEM or DAP in existence,... who knows whether that blind spot would still exist in this conversation... Just wondering
