HiFiMan HE-1000 Headphones vs Reference Speakers ?

Readers please keep in mind hifisoundguy was touting Bose 901 speakers a few years ago as the second coming.
A review of his posting history is warranted.

extravaganza: and every speaker system will have major flaws: the room.

but yeah, audiophile spend 30k on a system in a room with terrible acoustic.

Listen to the HiFiman HE-1000 phones for yourself and decide. If AudioQuest can make headphones at $600 that match $3,000 phones, more power to them. I'm guessing they can't. Once you listen to the HE-1000, you'll understand!

These NightHawk headphones use the same speaker drives that the "world's best" Sony MDR-R10's! People pay as much as $6K! for these Sony R10's when they come on the used market!..

While I like headphones and used them in college for years (HD650, grado RS1, UE,Shure etc) they will never be a speaker replacement for me. If I need to listen quietly or when traveling they are good but given the choice I will take my HIFI rig every time.
