I feel you should consider what MOST people use to listen. Cheap
computer speakers are popular, so why not slightly adjust the mix for
them. They typically don't like lots of bass, they distort, so you
should conserve.
Just my two cents 
Yep, and perform music for the tone-deaf, and cook for those with no
sense of taste, and take blurry photos.
As usual so many people don't get the difference between "mastering" for
earbuds, and simply checking there are NO problems after you have
mastered on your big speakers. It's the easiest way to check for phase
problems, and yet some commercial recordings still suffer from issues we
saw back in the sixties when stereo first became the norm. :-(
And with pan pot stereo, if half of your market is listening on earbuds,
it is pretty stupid IMO to create "hole in the head" mixes just because
you don't think anyone should be listening that way. We certainly aren't
talking about orchestral recordings here!
