If we compare headphones and speakers of same class and price, headphones are more accurate, but speakers are less exhausting for ears and are more interesting in lower frequency range, especially sub. Headphones just can't fill your room with bass, you know. But to use bassy speakers or dedicated sub you should have proper treatment or at least be lucky enough so that your room naturally has proper acoustics.
Someone gave me some very nice studio monitor headphones for mixing. I didn't have the heart to tell them that I have some hearing loss in one ear at the upper frequencies, which means I have to use speakers for a final mix---turning my head a bit. It's a hassle but been like that since childhood.
I have been thinking about a studio headphone, and I might get one.

Sad you have some hearing loss, but at least you found a way around it. :)

Funny but your brain compensates after so many years. Sort of like a dominant eye. However, headphones don't cut it here. :D
