I actually prefer speakers, but for the price headphones always seem to be the better value. Here is my short story:
I was never a headphone person until about September 2010. I used speakers exclusively but for the exception of cheap headsets for Ventrilo. I found this forum early August 2010 and did some research, and bought a pair of ATH-AD700's. I found the sound quality exceptional for the price of $90. I was(and still am) using Klipsch Promedia 2.1 for my speakers. I now have HD650's and can't believe how great headphones sound for the price. I LOVE the full, rich and bassy sound of speakers, but the quality always seems to be lacking for the same price of headphone. My speakers sound great, but headphones have a much greater nack for displaying details.
IMO there is no substitute for either. Each one has it's own place.
