I just recently bought HD555s, and am wondering if I should be setting it on "headphones" or speakers.. I asked a bunch of people that have the same headphones as me and the answers were mixed.. So I figured I'd come and ask you guys

Personally I use 2.0 just to ensure that no extra so-called "enhancements" are added by my programs. I think the best solution is just to use ASIO or ASIO4ALL and bypass Windows audio completely, that'll eliminate any worries.

Who recommended you to put it on "headphones" mode?

I already stated in the other thread that putting them on headphones would collapse the soundstage.... try them yourselves..

No one "reccommended" I was just curious, and asked a bunch of people.. And it was pretty 50/50

That pretty much is the definition of "recommending."

Try the two out yourself and see which one you prefer.

generally accepted around here that 2.0 > headphones mode.

and what soundcard do u have? for example, headphones mod on my old SB audigy Se is terrible, soundstage is weird and also sound is much less natural, i vote for 2.0 speakers

I put it on "no speakers" so as to make sure that there are no enhancements added... I still get sound; and, compared to "headphones" mode, "no speakers" mode has more soundstage to it.
