At todays value YES. At retail value when bought NO. I have a pair of BD 770's/80 (120$) + 100$ headphone amp. My speakers are 2 bose 301 Series 2 Speakersfrom the 80's a nice onkyo tx-82 reciever and a sony cd player (nearly 1000$ spent on it in the 80s by my dad).

Yup, the total cost of my headphones and related equipment reach roughly $1500, and the cost of my bookshelf speaker system and computer speakers combined are less than $500.

Once I get my own place and begin making enough money, I'll certainly get myself a decent home theater and stereo. Right now, headphones are where it's at.

Not even close.

My speakers (Focal Electra 1007BE) are worth around $6,000 AUD and my integrated amp (Densen B-150) is worth around $8,000.

Nope, my speaker setup is considerably more.
Monitor Audio PL100's, sim audio amp, and shifted the NAD CD player and Rega table over to it from the headphone setup. I have noticed I am shifting dramatically back to loudspeakers, they just have an extra something. But I still use headphones when I need it more private and at work.

My speakers are substantially more than my headphones in my reference listenig 2 channel stereo kit. Otherwise some of my headphones are more expensive than my speakers at work and in my home theatre.

My headphones most definitely...unless you count my speakers as costing $1500 because they're integrated into my laptop
