Yeah I'd agree with that. Also arenas are acoustically awful if you're sat in the wrong place. I recently saw TOOL though and had the most perfect seats and it was the most sonically terrific experience of my gig going life. Visually spectacular too.

I've just ordered a nice set of headphones (Quad Era-1) for the first time (I've owned all sorts of headphones in the past but never anything more plush than my current "work" pair which is some Philips Wireless things - ph805k i think).

I'm not expecting to love them more than my speakers but I'm looking forward to being able to listen to them more often than my speakers can be played. My set up is underneath my boys room in a small house.

I've only recently been sucked into this headphone land but I do feel the experience of having the music wash over you can't be replicated in a headphone. Still looking forward to experiencing a really nice set of cans though!
