In Reply to: What is it that makes you choose headphones over loudspeakers? posted by genungo on July 22, 2011 at 21:30:11:
I like to listen to what I want when I want, without burdening other
family members with my decision.
A good headphone rig is considerable cheaper that a good speaker-based
rig.
One does not have to sit in the "sweet spot", or keep one's head pointed
in one direction, to get full stereo effect.
One can much more easily afford to have several different amp/phone
combinations than one can amp/speaker combos. More space efficient too.
Plus, it's simpler. I'm real big into simple these days.
