True. I think the one area they never truly compare is space and ambience in the sound. A good set of open earphones (Senns, Beyers, the FA-011s I heard today) create space in the sound that can't be achieved with closed headphones or IEMs.
I think that's why I like both - the IEMs regularly outperform headphones in detail and imaging, but then I turn to headphones for space and ambience.
Not trying to convince you either way, it's just an interesting discussion.
