It all depends on what you want. If you've got a lot of ambient noises or family/roommates, then headphones are the way to go.
If you don't care about what others might hear, and can afford a good set of speakers, then do it.
I myself use headphones, though I do have speakers. My room is above my parents' room, and if I were to use my speakers, they'd hear my music & games going boom boom all through the night. Mom used to complain about it all the time before I got my headphones.

Better for what scenario? Headphones aren't going to be much fun at a party and speakers aren't going to be much fun for your parents when they're sleeping.

Unless you have a surround sound stereo system, It'd be better to have headphones if you're playing a game that is important that you have good and accurate sound. Take, for instance, Counter-Strike: Source. With a 2.1 system, you can't really hear which direction an enemy is coming unless you have the right speaker directly to your right, and your left speaker directly to your left.
I have a 5.1 system, so it works quite well for me either way. If it's at night and you have roommates or parents in the house. It'd probably be best to use them. If not, turn up your speakers and enjoy the sound... as long as they're decent speakers.

I have my headphones super loud. Only thing I've noticed is a lot of irritation on my earlobe for the first month or two... then once my ears got adjusted to having something covering them for long periods at a time, the irritation went away.
I like my headphones.

Headphones for college (nice, big, full-ear headphones that block out some of the ambient noise of college life), speakers for home.

I use a 5.1 surround sound, but for some reason the support for 5.1 Renegade sound is lacking..
Example when I set it to surround sound ingame-ren options it auto turns it to 4 speakers, while I have 5.1. So I just use 4 speakers settings in ren now. I know there is a dolby audio in Ren Alert but for some reason it sounds worse then 4 speakers.
For the 5.1 Ren users
Does anyone have a good combo? EAX1, EAX2 with 4 speakers or directsound which is a good recommend..
Thanks,

You lose your hearing slowly over time doing that.

Sorry, did you say something? I couldn't hear anything you might have said. I'm glad I've got this closed-caption kind of thing right here!
