Yes.
If you can be certain to never mess up.
I am experimenting with several different detectos, filters and audio
amps. Very easy to mess up and get very loud pops, squals and
other unpleasent shocks.

That, plus the fact that when trying to dig out a weak station I
turn the volume up and when someone nerby turns on a light, or
that nasty flood blender also causes very loud pops etc.

By having the limiter the last thing before my earphones I
insure that simple mistakes won't hurt.

There's nothing I hear in earphones that I can't hear in a speaker.
