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.
