Powered is much nicer, electronic crossover, multiple amps,
protection circuitry (accidents happen) all built-in.

OK for editing, but not for mixing, the spatial perspective is too
different from speakers. Also the balance of bass is perceived
differently on headphones. But I don't think you mix, anyway.
