2 channel vs headphones


Just curious how many of you have both a high end system but also listen to high end headphone systems as well?

Nooooooooo Headphones ever they will kill your hearing.....in the near future everyone will be wearing ears phones just to correct there hearing.Save your money on Headphones....

How about a PORTABLE solution like a DAP with a high quality headphones/earphones/iem/ciem.  I have an Astell&Kern SP2000T.  

@limomangus - why would the same number of decibels hitting your ears from headphones be any worse than the same number of decibels coming from speakers? The SPL? The speakers in headphones are miniscule compared to those in loudspeakers. I've been deafened by speakers in homes and venues, but can't say the same about headphones. 

Headphones would be like having two speakers on the side of your head. YES its not the Headphones its the decibels .Like sitting in the front row of a Heavy metal concert, when you leave you can't hear correctly. If you live in NYC and then take the Subway  home ,your ears are really killing you....then you put on Headphones...and blast your ears out .forget about it.....next you need the emergency room when you can't hear.....
