If you have a poor listening room, then obviously headphones may be better.
But in a decent room with decent speakers I get far more of a sense of

I don't listen to music on public transport - but am surprised at the
number who do. And many use just one ear piece. Perhaps we need mono mixes
for them. ;-)
