I feel that there are two listening experiences
Many mixes are intended to be played back in Stereo across two speakers in a room( We can argue Mono ,5.1 etc ) but in essence that is what it was engineered to do and that was the brief.................
Headphones offer another environment , there is little crosstalk and you ae closer to the sound , little added echo from the room and it's environment..............
Now who is to say which s best ? They are two different beasts and as such produce two differing results :
If one is ale to change between the two freely then fine , if not then it can be a case of "horses for courses"..............If I want a concert I use speakers............if I want a close listening environment it is headphones..................
If I don't ant o disturb others headphones...........................Feeling loud it is speakers !!!!!!!
Detail ................headphones or sitting in the hot spot and focused listening..................

Nice to be able to go back to trust and friendship!!!!!!!!!
It's a mixed up sensation this being alive
Oh! it wears a man down into the ground
It's the strangest elation
I can't describe it
Oh it leaves a man weary
It makes a man frown..............................Chris Simpson ( "Mixed Up Sensations" 1975 Martin's Cafe )
