The truth is this: for the pure equipment cost, you can get peak world class headphone performance for the price of a mid-fi 2 channel setup. Speakers are more than just high prices — its engineering a listening space. For the amount of money I spent on my speakers, room treatments, pre/pro amps, cabling, etc, I could have got a Utopia with the finest OCC silver cables plugged into best headphone amps and be at endgame. The problem is, I’m addicted to the full-immersion experience of speakers. The unfurled soundstage. The physical dynamics. No matter how good, headphones can’t provide that. I agree. Besides, I don't like wearing headphones: it's not really pleasant and sounds unnatural.

And I could have a great listening while sitting on a bench in a park with a beautiful sea view, as it was today. It's undeniable that head' and earphones are a great way to enjoy music on the move. I haven't had a portable player since my Sony Minidisc broke down in late nineties. I used it mostly in train or coach or plane journeys. Perhaps I should get a nice pair of earphones...

Speakers can produce a 3D soundstage that headphones can't. There are a lot of 2L recording fans here. Morten Lindberg does a lot of his (incredible) work (26 Grammy Award nominations) with headphones... He is just one example. He's known for having wrapped the musicians around the microphones...
