price
As we know, speakers are expansive, since it needs a whole hi-fi sets to drive it. Some more, in hi-fi's world, watts/power output is proportional to the price, hence bigger room bigger money! Headphones are different, they don't need a very sophisicated system to drive it, except for the desired pure signal (as in any audio system). Some 'head-fier' may integrate a fine pre-amp which is specially designed for headphones into their system. But, overall, it's less expensive if both are getting the same level of sound purity.
comfort
Hedphones are usually less comfortable compared to speakers. It's obvious that anything that we put onto our body will, in return, causes some degree of discomfort.
place suitability
If you stay in an apartment, it's unlikely to place a 300W hi-fi system in your unit. It will not only shake the whole unit (causing terrorism effects, lol), and will get scolded by your neighbours for disturbing their private "meditation" mood, etc..
portabality
If you are a college student, or a traveller, headphones may be a better choice, since you will not have any time spent more than travelling/outdoor. In this case, if you are a music/audio maniac, try an ipod instead of MBL.
health
Headphones have some degree of medical issues due to Sound Pressure Level and electromagnetic(E.M.) field. The E.M. field, when too near too our body, may cause a positive/negative effect. But, some headphone companies, such as Ultrasone, designed products with approximately 70 patents on them. They may be expansive, but the sound quality and its effects on health are positive.
Reference
Super clear and reference level soundstage occurs in good headphones. Speakers do that job as well, but with the prelude of best speaker placement (which should be very hard to achieve for ordinary hi-fier--but this make this game fun!)

for me.. i would rather a speaker.. if you are talking about computers lar i mean... for one.. headphones arent good for the ears long term.. and i after using the headphones too long =.= will get headache... dont like headphones...
i got my old-faithful speaker.. atlec lansing =) quite cheap now.. if scared disturb ppl.. then dont on so loud only lorr hahaa.....
haven't end, lol!
By the way, depends what speaker you use. If you get some good stuff (which is still cheaper than speaker of equivalent quality), it'll show some comfort. It's like disappearing suddenly.
And not loud not nice!! HAHA!
=.= later pekak lar ... so loud for wad lar... but i on my speakers quite loud also... so hahahaha... speakers rules...
Hmm.. loudness is depends. Some fellow (like me) like to get the vocal at least same as the ordinary speech level (LOL) to get the reality feel.
