headphones: God's gift to audiophiles

JonJT, I agree, a good home audio speaker setup is the way to go.
I've got a ~$180 boston acoustics computer speakers set, and then my ~$430 headphone setup, and I would definitely rather listen to the speakers. This sounds kind of funny, but I sort of think of headphones as speaker emulators. They can sound great, but they arn't the real deal.

Because I live in an apartment and can't blast my speakers outloud at very high volumes, headphones are a good acceptable alternative to me, but if I lived in a house and didn't have to worry about disturbing others, I'd be a speakerman.

Yep, but lucky for me, I still live with my parents (being 17 and all, although, I may not be so lucky) and we live in a nice house, so I can blans music all the time. I'm just too poor to afford a pair of Apex's. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crap.gif.7f4dd41e3e9b23fbd170a1ee6f65cecc.gif

And yeah, I've got 2 expensive pairs of headphones and my simple 2-way Adire Kit81Ms beat them out 24/7/365.
