Bad headphones won't allow you to fully appreciate the production quality of a song, but you can have a beautifully mixed and produced song that's still absolute shit, so I don't think the hardware disqualifies you from reacting to a song. It's not ideal, but there's a lot of important information that can be conveyed by even the worst speakers / earbuds.
