Good headphones give you louder music. Other questions I don't know.

Its the player and the headphones. If the MP3 player has a maximum loudness of say, 95dB, and the headphones have a maximum loudness of 107dB, you will hear the full 95dB that the player offers. On the other hand, if the player has a maximum loudness of 95dB but the headphones only go up to 90dB, the headphones will only be as loud as 90dB. Loudness is measured in dB, called decibels.
