Oh you will be able to tell the difference, for sure. Higher quality headphones will probably sound worse, given that they will likely reproduce the quality problems with the music output with much better fidelity than lower quality ones. You'll get to hear all the MP3 compression artifacts with amazing clarity, and every single distortion induced by the (phone) player's sub-par sound-production circuitry.

I'm just not sure that's a desirable experience. Better off with Koss Porta-Pro, cost $25 and do the job just fine.

Criticism
“However, the Intel CPU dispatcher does not only check which instruction set is supported by the CPU, it also checks the vendor ID string. If the vendor string is "GenuineIntel" then it uses the optimal code path. If the CPU is not from Intel then, in most cases, it will run the slowest possible version of the code, even if the CPU is fully compatible with a better version. ”
