alternatively, the avantone headphones have a 'mixcube' setting - as well as full range and mono.
They are, imho, strictly a quick reference check for 'bandwidth limited' playback devices to make sure you don't have any crazy frequencies poking out.
I use some old Denon 2 way monitors for this- I took them off an old component system.
I also use a Sonos Play 5 as well as my proper monitors.

There's no chance I'd be able to build a speaker!

As for the OP you might find a set of JBL Duets handy. They are not as revealing as mixcubes but useful for balancing.

I have to disagree here. The thing with Auratones/Mixcubes is not that they sound bad - they don't in fact. It's just that there isn't much in the way of treble or low end. What the lack of treble and bass does is highlight the crucial midrange, and the Auratones/Mixcubes have exceptionally low distortion levels and time-domain performance, so that all important mid-range is delivered very clearly and accurately. This makes them very well suited to balancing important elements such as vocals as you're not distracted by the ear-candy at the frequency extremes.
In my mind they don't do the same job as a cheap/grotbox speaker, although its often perceived that they do.
