Hi, I hate to be the bearer of bad news.....even the highest resolution MP3 (I have seen 320K) is a lossy conversion. They may sound OK, but side by side with a true high res copy will be deficient. The use of phones vs speakers really has no effect. I do grant that the best MP3s are not too bad, but with storage so cheap why not use the uncompressed files. My portable player, a FIIO X3, can handle 256 gig on a single chip. That is an enormous number of tracks. Many thousands.

Good Listening
Bruce
