They are totally different experiences and I always prefer speakers but nothing wrong with a really good set of phones.
I've been separated about six months, right before I left I bought pair of Grado RS2e and a Rupert Neve headphone amp and it was one of the best purchases ever. My equipment was in storage since July and I've spent many hours listening to those phones, and they really sound great...
Some people hate headphones but I don't, they are quite different than speakers but at night they can't be beat. I finally have my system set back up but still enjoy the Grados often. And as far as one being better than the other, I've heard many average systems that don't come close to the Grado / Neve combo. Headphones as a whole are better than they've ever been.
