I agree, If I had the money believe me 2 channel Speaker setup in sound conditioned room all the way. However as you know headphones are popular due to there abilty to produce a clean sound and resolve detail that would cost 15 fold on a speaker config which would also need a room with sound proofing, as headphones are bascially a controlled sound ennclosure with speakers at a fraction of the cost. They just offer such great value.
Drawbacks to headphones are that there not as fun as speakers and can't produce the soundstage high end speakers can, plus with speakers you can feel the music. Music is also mastered for speakers hence it will always sound better on high end speaker config. Until they master the massive music catalog in Binaural for headphones, Speakers>Headphones
Just my 2 cents, based on my limited experience
I don`t think using headphones is audiophille, but you know.. |
