Won't that highly depend on the location you put your AV system in? You basically need a dedicated area with decent acoustics if you want to beat good quality headphones. For non-audiophiles like me a good pair of headphones seem like a much more rational investment.
Of course if it's about watching movies or TV then headphones are not always practical, but then for that I admit that I don't care much about audio fidelity beyond using cheap-o dedicated speakers instead of the TV's builtin set.
- stinos 8y agoThing is even the best quality headphones don't produce a similar soundstage/stereo image becasue with speakers both ears always get sound from both speakers (though I assume there's software systems mimicjing that effect for headphones, not sure) also because most music is mixed while listening to speakers not headphones, and last but not least with speakers you also feel the sound with your body. But yes if you really don't have the space for speakers it's not ideal. But still i prefer it over headphones even though they usually can yield more detail.
