Hey Dyl,
Ah haha the bluetooth speaker. Yeah I probably should have been more clear about what I meant. My speaker is roughly like a band-passed effect but with a little smile curve to it. The top end lacks any sizzle or air, there's a clean and forward sounding midrange emphasis, and the low end boosts mid-bass rather than extending down into subs (i.e. 100-200Hz hump, with reduced low frequency content below 100Hz). It's pleasant and unfatiguing though.

If you check your mix through a spectrum analyser showing average instead of max curve, it'll be pretty easy to spot (if you don't have one, my go-to is Voxengo SPAN). You'll notice that your mix looks kind of like there's a good amount of energy between 2-3kHz and a roll-off starting just above 3khz. It does sound that way too--nice clear midrange but not much up higher. That said, your vocal esses and the shaker track do have more top end extension than any of your other elements, so it's not like a straight up low-pass on the whole mix.
