In Reply to: Vinyl Listening On Headphones... posted by AudioSoul on April 15, 2014 at 08:02:57:
Unless the recording was specifically mastered for playback with headphones (which I think is very rare and I only have one such recording in my possession), then the answer is "no" as far as recreating the record as heard by the mastering engineer.
This isn't vinyl specific..this applies to any recording from any source.
Any "extreme" spatial effects created by the sound engineer will not be recreated properly - by extreme I mean such effects that expand soundstaging where the sound appears to come from well outside the speaker. These rely on interchannel phase relationships in conjunction with room cancellation effects. Such recordings end up being a confusing mess on headphones, but come to life with speakers.
This has nothing to do with the quality of the headphones, it is due to the fact that each channel is spatially isolated so any effects relying on phase cancellation will not be recreated properly.
