A 128kbit MP3 is still far better than the cheap crap they include with
all MP3 players.  So yes you will get vastly better audio by getting a
set of $50 or $100 headphones even with MP3s.  As I said, mp3s have no
problem producing nice clear bass, they tend to loose a bit in the very
high frequencies, while cheap head phones tend to loose all the bass and
some of the highs.
