I have very little experience with headphones and speakers, luckily I will have more with time. Just curious (and very interested about a certain pair of speakers) how would you compare headphones to speakers when it comes to:
Detail
Neutrality (flat, uncoloured)
Realism (not punchy bass for non-punchy bass recordings such as classical, and maybe punchy bass for punchy bass recordings such as hip hop, etc.
)
Enjoyment
Etc. Etc.
Are 100usd headphones good as 600usd speakers? Is there something like headphones being as good as speakers 6 times its price, or 10 times? Or does it depend on how good the headphone is (maybe 50usd cans are good as 200usd speakers -4 times- but maybe 500usd cans are good as 5000usd speakers -10 times-)
If you could make a list also, it would be superdoopergreat
I am REALLY interested in knowing how good these speakers are when comparing them to headphones:

I care mostly for classical and jazz, bossa nova, etc. Not so much for rock and other genres.
Thanks
