Headphones anyone?

wrong

you are missing the point. what "good" headphones sound like depends on what headphones you've ever heard before. if you have only ever heard crappy headphones, then any good quality low-end headphones will sound fabulous. if you've heard the difference between low-end headphones and studio 'reference' headphones, then the low-end headphones won't sound quite so fabulous any more -- they'll just sound less crappy than the really crappy headphones.

I have a 20-year-old pair of Sennheiser HD 560 headphones. when I got them, they were the best sounding headphones I had ever heard, or expected to ever hear. there are newer models out now and presumably they sound better but as long as I don't listen to any of them I'll continue to be happy with what I have already.
