How do you do it? I used to burn a cd and go to every car, and cd deck. Now a days all three cars are Bluetooth, the three audio players in the house are also Bluetooth. Are you using your phones via Bluetooth or Bluetooth audio players? I do have ways to 1/8" jack as well. Maybe this is more direct and authentic.

Hi. I usually test on my laptop, my stereo (via laptop) and in the car (I have an old car). I sometimes listen to it in a friends house / stereo / studio as well.
All the best.

Anywhere I can.  I download to phone (MP3 export) and play via AUX in (old car no Bluetooth).
I stream from my phone to my home theatre (Bluetooth to Aux in device).  I listen with my phone and cheap headphones.  I use my old Marantz 2250B amp and listen there (No speakers on it so I have to use headphones - I have Sennheiser HD210s).
 
So basically try listening in all types of places it is very revealing

If it's good there it's good.

First, on the main CR monitors, HR824, then through my little 3" Alesis to make sure it is not too Bass heavy, then wife's computer speakers then my laptop and then her car and mine.  I also make two files, .wav at 16/44.1 and then a 320 .mp3 as sometimes the mp3 conversion can cause unexpected artifacts, even at 320.  If they all sound acceptably good, then I deem it fit for human consumption.

Is your real question how to test because everything's going bluetooth?
A studio I recently visited has at least one set of test speakers connected
over bluetooth. I never asked whether special drivers were needed.
 
The possibilities are exciting, tho'.
 
One can test and fix the mix right there with Sonar playing on the laptop  
before committing to a final mixdown!

S.L.I.P.
I have a Chromecast, so I also check the sound on my tv.

Great ideas here. Nah I'm fully schooled on Bluetooth. I remember years ago if you weren't a/b with waves and gold class cd's you were scrutinized. Nice to see I'm not too new school.
