Not acceptable.
As mentioned, perhaps the person is unaware that their headphone jack is not in. If they're just blasting noise from an iPad perhaps the person needs to be asked if they have headphones. And if the music is loud and offensive and they clearly don't care about the noise, why not deal with it with humor and say, "Would you mind putting on some Barry Manilow. Your speakers are louder than you might know". Especially on a train or long flight where they're in your immediate area.

Small child watching videos on a generally-noisy subway/metro train: probably wouldn't bother me.
Anyone being noisy on a plane or intercity train: definitely annoying. They should have headphones. Parents should bring them for little kids.
