I have never listened to an audiobook, but I'd say going to a concert and listening to Beethoven's 5th symphony should much closer to it than it would be to reading. In both case, you're getting (and listening to) someone's interpretation of the work, which will always be very different from getting the work directly (I don't want to use the word "consume" here).
