HiFiMan HE-1000 Headphones vs Reference Speakers ?

One reviewer that listened to these headphones thought they sounded much more like his reference system! Sounded very un-headphone like!!...

Could this be a short-cut to Audio Nirvana!..

People pay as much as $6K! for these Sony R10's when they come on the used market!.. http://www.innerfidelity.com/content/audioquest-reveals-upcoming-headphone-nighthawk

If I need to listen quietly or when traveling they are good but given the choice I will take my HIFI rig every time.

Hearing is believing! If you don’t agree then that they are amazing, we can talk. The V2 revision probably even improved the sound, and user comfort.
