2 channel vs headphones

Both, I used 2 channel in nearfield in my smaller second dedicated room ...Then with a top headphone and a good 2 channel system i dont feel any frustration...

But in my first dedicated greater room, i did not had  any need for my Top headphone and it is the reason why i did not bother to optimize them then at the time...

A controlled acoustic room beat any headphone ( even in intimacy which is a fact ignored by most ) ...The only way to use a Top headphone on par with any two channel system it is probably to use a Bacch set of filters designed by Choueiri but with a Top headphone to begin with...

Anyway i am satisfied now and my hobby is no more audio because i learned what i intended to learn to optimize any system... And i dont focus obsessively on expanse for upgrade... Music accompany now my other hobby ...(A.I. investigation and maths) 

I sit between forward facing speakers.  It’s like the biggest headphones ever and quite enjoyable!

I just don't like headphones period. It doesn't matter much how good they sound, it is unnatural music presentation. I only use them rarely when monitoring recordings that I sometimes make to tape and late at night listening to news and youtube videos. I have Grado RS1 and HIFI Man headphones in the house.

I was actually shocked how inferior Headphones are when compared to my system. They completely control the acoustic environment & that should not be the case. According to reviews, my BHK doubles as a very good HP amp, and the Clears are very good, but not to my ears. 
And they are bad for tinnitus. I only listen when I must… but they do look good. 😒

HP system: Aurender > Briscati > BHK > Focal Clear OG

System: Aurender > Briscati > BHK > Moon > Ref 3’s

@jimcrane - have you tried headphones WITH hearing aids? I got a pair of in-canal HA's just for that purpose and it's worked out great for me. 

@signaforce - I'm not sure what a BHK is, but generally, nothing that has to 'double' as a headphone amp is going to be as good as even a less expensive dedicated headphone amp. Focal Clears are good, but they're relatively inexpensive and shouldn't be expected to sound as good as better ones.

As far as it controlling the acoustic environment, and that shouldn't be the case, that is the case because that's what they are for. It's not like your listening room isn't controlling its environment, either. Headphones are a very different listening experience to speakers, as they should be. Doesn't make one inherently better or worse than the other. Down to the person and the gear.
