Default Adding reverb to hi-fi

This is true, BUT you won't know what is important and what isn't. With
headphones, the imaging is changed dramatically.

One solution to this, of course, is binaural recordings which are optimized
for headphone listening and which have accurate imaging on headphones, But
that's a limited market and there isn't much out there. Which is kind of
surprising given the popularity of portable headphone devices out there.
