Druids as headphones? yeah, I suppose that would work, but the bass disappears at low volumes so you'll need a loudness switch for playing that way

I listen nearfield to my ES14s and they give a very 'direct' sound not unlike headphones, its how I have always had my speakers located even from the days of my Diamond MKIs and I can't listen to speakers from a distance now.
I have Grado RS2s and I use them a lot late at night but they don't give the same 'physical sound' sound that speakers do and therefore are not as enjoyable.
