There's nothing wrong with tunes during a commute especially. And I prefer a speaker as opposed to sticking earbuds or headphones on your head. I've been using a Buckshot speaker for awhile now, usually just attached with the included rubber strap, and it works pretty well. Battery life is AMAZING on it.
I've never used an actual phone mount, but I recently picked up a Scosche bike handlebar mount that works very similar to my car vent mount (spring loaded side arms to hold the phone). It looks like a nice setup but unfortunately I don't really have handlebar space for it on my bikes in their current setup.

So I take it you are one of those people who think people need to listen to your music when going out bike riding? I don't care for it but as far as I'm concerned, it's a free world.
By the way, my comment--the one you quoted--was simply an expression of what I thought. I don't honestly give a damn what someone does on their bike. So if you feel the need to transform my comment to some sort of soup nazi rant, go ahead but that's not what I think. I think it's safer to use your ears to listen to traffic but at the end of the day what's safe is up to the OP or to you to decide.
I dunno, do you use your ears to figure out whether cars are approaching or your mirrors? I sure as heck hope it's the latter.
