Given that it varies heavily with the source, quality of original recording and the quality of the headphones/speakers its not really possible to make such a genralisation, on my mobile setup ( cowen s9 >akg450) I cant tell the difference between high vbr and flac on any track however familiar i am with it. however on my home rig I can tell you which is flac and which is mp3 on most pink floyd and all of the dire straits with so far 100% accuracy but the sample size is too small to say difinatively me and my housemate only tried it with a 20track sample.
Im certain that if i wasnt very familiar with the tracks in question though i wouldnt stand a snowballs chance.

Not knowing too much about headphones these days, I would have thought a nice replacement may have cost more?
