You know what - it's interesting and here's my test:
I have the Eurythmics Ultimate Collection in my iTunes library and giving Love is a Stranger a spin (one of my Annie favourites).
Testing on the Bose computer speakers/woofer I have plugged to that, the Bass really kicks and is very rich - nice vibration in the right areas that kick starts you deep inside.
On the headphones plugged into the headphone outlet of the little spinny volume controller of the Bose setup, the bass is lacking punch of the woofer that's for sure. However, it's there and probably enough for my brain, but it's a very clean Bass... so much so, at the beginning of the track where the guy goes Oooah, AAAh (you just know that's some big meaty black guy!), well his voice is *very* rich in a way I've not noticed before.
So, no you won't get the woofer effect - for that you need to stick your head in a bass bin in a club - try it, it's boggling!
--edit to say for me a deep bass in a headphone set is less important as I want clear mid-high range. I'm a boring classical fart myself. Although my musical collection it has to be said is very wide... and each taste group is a representation of the stage of my life when I went through that stage. Pop, rock, metal, dance, trance, indie, opera, classic. Voila!
