I'm really not sure I would, I've borrowed my partners $200 headphones and it still kind of sounds the same.
I can tell a really shit pair from an affordable pair. Obviously if it's crackling, or really tinny I hear that. But I think my hearing loss is the quality cap, not the headphones.
Same with vision, I genuinely can't see a difference between 1080p and anything higher because even the back of my own hand is blurry, if real life is blurry why would a better TV suddenly be sharp?
If my boyfriend sitting 30cm away from me having a conversation sounds muffled and distant, better headphones won't make my podcast sound clearer.
