Tvad,
yes; i've heard Pink Floyd thru headphones, although just lowly Sennheiser HD-580's. there are aspects of the sound which are unique to headphones, but a whole part of the experience is missing. on many Pink Floyd albums headphones do give you a unique 'around and thru the head' soundstage....my room gets most of that and expands the sense of space.
i respect headphone enthusiast's love of the strenghts of headphone listening. i've listened to SOTA headphones at audio shows.....and they do reveal low level information that is very enjoyable. OTOH it is not the physical experience that Pink Floyd, at warp 9, can be experienced in my room. it's cannot be a collective experience, you don't feel 4 15" subwoofers moving air, there is not the 'washing' over you with sound.
my room is designed so i don't need headphones. i do use them for finding spots on the reel to reel tapes while others are listening to other media in my room.
