As Travis said, I listen to headphones for what they can do best, intimacy and great focus on the music. But like all music reproduction, they require suspension of disbelief -- clearly it's not a real performance happening between my ears.

I find it easier to relax into the illusion with speakers than with headphones, and I suspect that soundstaging is only part of the reason why.

Just my $.02
