What device do you use to listen to music?

I know for most people it will be a mix so pick the one you use the most.

My phone. In fact I have over 2,000 songs on my phone. I started on the first song and went in alphabetical order and listened to them all. I have a 25 to 40 minute commute everyday. It took me months to listen to them all. Including driving back from Vegas and I listened to songs that start with "love" for 3 hours.
 
Astell & Kern AK240 with Noble Audio K10 for portable, computer setup in my sig, then my NAD T754 and Paradigm home system.
 
Hm, tough one. I listen to music in the car five days a week, but that accounts for less than an hour per day, whereas I can listen to music for five hours in a single day on my living room or bedroom speakers. Probably have to go with car speakers for overall.
 
I hate things in/over my ears, so I seldom use headphones. Computer speakers, car speakers, phone speaker is my top three in order. I also made an "amp" out of a cardboard tube for my phone to make it a bit louder and bassier when I park it someplace without a speaker connection.

I have a 42 to 43 minute commute (each way). A stereo with a USB drive is so much better than the phone for listening to music. If you don't have one, it is worth getting it considering the amount of time you are in the car.
 
I'd have to say
1) Barely winning out is computer speakers, tending to run through my favorites non-stop when I'm home.
2) In narrow second place is AV speakers, tending to play Pandora non-stop when I'm home.
3) Car speakers. I try to listen to news radio more than music, but with a long commute, I do listen quite a lot to music in my car.

I had to guess between #1 and #2 since it would depend on how long I spend in each room, but I think I spend more time near the computer than near the TV.
 
My Bowers & Wilkins P7 headphones powered by a FIIO E17 USB DAC/Amp
or
My 1970s Technics SA-600 75-WPC Reciever running Advent Large speakers (also 1970s) using a MODI 2 DAC or a Technics turntable.
 
A OnePlus 3 now for the most part. I only buy crappy earbuds for that these days though since I seem to destroy them constantly (not sure how I manage to do it, but I got really sick of having $100 earbuds crapping out on my every few months).

The remaining ~15% of the time I listen on my PC and that is through some old Sennheiser HD555s.

This is all through Google Play Music since I have now uploaded all of my own library there.

work from home so I have Google Play Music running on the PC through crappy speakers. Waiting for a deal on some 5-channel system.
 
My phone since I use it every day for two hours in public transport. But at home I enjoy music on the rig in my sig hooked up to my computer.
 
Turns out I don't like this pole very much at all.

A device for listening to music seems like it would be things like a radio, ipod, cd player, phone, Echo/Sonos streaming thingy, etc. The OP just asks about different types of speakers?

smartphone + bluetooth speakers (in the car or at home) or bluetooth earbuds.

I've also got wired earbuds that I carry in my backpack, but I only use them if I need to sit on a conference call while walking to the train station because the mic is better.

if we're having a party or something, then I'll just use the Pandora app on the TV so that my cellphone isn't tied down and other guests can change up the music if they want.
